15. You have just been hired as a zookeeper by the Atlanta Zoo. Last night animals escaped from their cages. Nobody remembers what animals we in the cages. All that is left in the cages are the habitats! TitleTitle Introduction Task Process Evaluation ConclusionIntroductionTask ProcessEvaluation Conclusion

16. There are 3 empty cages in the Atlanta Zoo. You need to read the descriptions of the habitats in each cage and recommend 3 animals that could survive in each cage. You need to make sure that you include at least 1 animal from each group among the 3 cages. You can’t add anything except food to the cage. TitleTitle Introduction Task Process Evaluation ConclusionIntroductionTask ProcessEvaluation Conclusion

17. There are bars around the cage so the animals can’t get out. Inside the cage are many trees with an open space in the middle. On the side of the cage is a rocky area. TitleTitle Introduction Task Process Evaluation ConclusionIntroductionTask ProcessEvaluation Conclusion

18. This cage has a lot of water. On the right of the cage is a blue-green body of water. On the left side is a body of water covered with green stuff. There are some muddy areas which lead to grass.

19. Habitat 3 There are solid walls as well as a top so the animals can’t escape. It is very warm inside the cage. There is a small stream down rocks in the back of the cage. There are a few trees along the sides of the cage. TitleTitle Introduction Task Process Evaluation ConclusionIntroductionTask ProcessEvaluation Conclusion

20. ResearchRecorderIllustrator Find information about the 5 groups of animals. Find information about the animals you recommend to put in the cages. Record information about the 5 animal groups. Record information found about the animals you recommend to pun in cages. Draw a picture of each animal you will include in your habitat. Make sure to label the animal and habitat the animal will live in. You will work together in groups of 3 to find animals. Each person will have a different job. You will all present your recommendations to the zoo staff. Make sure you can explain WHY each animal should go in the recommended cage. Step 1: TitleTitle Introduction Task Process Evaluation ConclusionIntroductionTask ProcessEvaluation Conclusion

21. Use the “Habitat Recording Sheet” and visit the following websites that have information about animal groups and animals. Make notes about what the animals need to survive and what kind of habitat the animal would need.Habitat Recording Sheet Animal Websites: Birds: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/birds/printouts/http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/birds/printouts/ Amphibians: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/coloring/amphibians.shtmlhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/coloring/amphibians.shtml Fish: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/fish/printouts/http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/fish/printouts/ Reptiles: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/reptiles/printouts.shtmlhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/reptiles/printouts.shtml Mammals: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/mammals/Groups.shtmlhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/mammals/Groups.shtml Animals: http://www.uen.org/utahlink/activities/view_activity.cgi?activity_id=3792http://www.uen.org/utahlink/activities/view_activity.cgi?activity_id=3792 Zoo Animals: http://www.zooatlanta.org/animals_landing.htmhttp://www.zooatlanta.org/animals_landing.htm TitleTitle Introduction Task Process Evaluation ConclusionIntroductionTask ProcessEvaluation Conclusion

22. Once you have completed research on animals and animal groups, decide which animals you will put in each cage. Draw a picture of the animals in each cage. Make sure you label habitat and the animals in the habitat. TitleTitle Introduction Task Process Evaluation ConclusionIntroductionTask ProcessEvaluation Conclusion

23. Present you recommendations of animals to the zoo staff. Make sure you can explain why you are recommending the animals for each habitat. TitleTitle Introduction Task Process Evaluation ConclusionIntroductionTask ProcessEvaluation Conclusion

24. Each group will be evaluated by the teacher using the Group WebQuest Rubric. TitleTitle Introduction Task Process Evaluation ConclusionIntroductionTask ProcessEvaluation Conclusion

25. Now that you have learned about animals and animal groups you have been promoted to Head Zoo Keeper! Great Work! TitleTitle Introduction Task Process Evaluation ConclusionIntroductionTask ProcessEvaluation Conclusion

26. The first question you need to ask yourself is… Should I make a WebQuest or use one I found on the Internet?

27.  You can find a lot of already made WebQuests online with a little search.

28.  Sometimes you can find a WebQuest that needs only minor adaptations. Use the following website for ideas on how to modify it to best meet your needs.
