Animal Habitats

A WebQuest for 3rd Grade

By Jessica Tetreault

Your Challenge:

Introduction

A biodome is being built in the area and the designers want to start off with the animals before deciding what habitats to include. They are asking each of you to choose an animal to put in the biodome. You will need to research the animal and the habitat that it lives in and present your findings to the designers.

The Challenge

Choose an animal that you would like to have as a part of the biodome. Use the Internet to find out about your animal; where it lives (habitat), what it eats, and anything else that you see as an important part of your animalís survival. You will need to take good notes because you will need them to write your report. For the report you will need to be very detailed in your description of the habitat because the designers want to make life as close to the outdoors as possible. You will also need to include a picture of your interpretation of what your animalís habitat looks like.
