Kyle's Report
Trip: Our local zoo
Goal: See how many different mammals we could find for each continent
Materials:
1. Graph with all 7 continents listed on the vertical axis
2. Graph with some of the mammals we expected to see at the zoo on the vertical axis and the 7 continents on the horizontal axis.
Process:
1. Find the mammals.
2. Read the distribution data for the mammals to see which continent they live on.
3. Add information to the graphs.
Blog:
1. Use online graph making tool to design the graph.
2. Write a paragraph on the data.
Questions to Guide Kyle in Writing a Paragraph:
Where did we go?
What type of animals did we research?
Which continents had the most mammals?
Which continent had the least mammals?
Which mammal lived on the most continents? Where did it live?
Skills & Knowledge Areas: Classification of Animals, Graphs, Addition, Geography, Reading (Scanning), Technology, Writing
Comments: The animal placards contained detailed information on animal distribution, so Kyle had to know that the Sahara was in Africa or that Sri Lanka was in Asia to get the information he needed. Surprisingly, he needed little help handling this.
