WEBQUEST 

 This Webquest will help students to discover WILDLIFE. They are used to see animals in zoos but ignore their real lives. With this webquest students not only will learn about different types of animals but also their habitats and living conditions, as well as, how to describe them.

It is adressed to students in 5th course of Primary Education. 
It will be carry out along 4 session plus one session for the presentations.

 INTRODUCTION

 

   "watch the video"

         You already know how we live in the zoo.

Would you like to know how we really live in our natural habitat?; What do we eat?; Where do we live? and a lot of things about us?
  
      Come with me and we will discover everything.

TASK

Your mission will be "to design a suitable habitat for the animal".

PROCESS

1) Arrange yourself in groups of three and choose one animal you have seen in the video. Each group chooses a different one.
2)  Do a research about the animal using the resources you will find below.
3) Each of you will look for specific information, thus:
STUDENT 1: will look for information about the natural environment where the animal lives and will draw it in a card.
STUDENT 2: will look for information about de diet of the animal and will draw the plants and animals needed for the animla survival. 
STUDENT 3: will search for information about physical appearance of the animal and the main characteristics of the animals group he belongs to (mammals, birds...), and will draw it within his natural environment. 
4) Finally all of you make a report about the animal in order to be able to explain to your partners as much as possible about it. You have to cover the following points:
     - Animal classification: mammals, reptiles, birds... and explain the main characteristics of the group he belong to.
     -Physical appearance of the animal.
     -Classify the animal according to his type of diet: herbivores, carnivores.... and explain the main  characteristics of the group he belongs to.
     -Place the animal within the food chain and talk about his diet.
     -Find out some curiosities about the animal and tell them to your partnerts.

  CONCLUSION 

I hope students have found this webquest enjoyable.

I found interesting the topic because it helps students to discover the true life of wild animals, as well as, to realize the necessity of taking care of both the environment and the animals.      

Besides, I am sure that they are going to learn a lot of things about animals, since the web pages that appear in the resources have a load of interesting information about animals, as well as, games for them to practise what they have learnt. 

for your interest in my webquest
