We will be using Google Drawing today to learn more about the different kinds of animals. First you need to choose one of the animal types:
  • amphibian
  • reptile
  • mammal
  • bird
  • fish

In Google Drawing, you will choose one photo (NOT a cartoon) of an animal that fits your category. 
Drag that photo into your page.
Now, type up all the characteristics you know about this animal. Remember to use complete sentences...you need at least three!

How to Search Using Google

posted Apr 13, 2016, 8:43 AM by kmcmillan@ctkschool.org   [ updated Sep 11, 2016, 3:54 PM ]




Today we are going to practice searching the internet for information. The hardest part of searching the internet is that there is SOOOOOO MUCH INFORMATION! We need to learn to narrow - or "refine" - our search to find just what we want.

Activity

Start here: The Google

Pick a habitat and search for it. Remember to:
  • read your results and refine your search
  • add the words "kids" or "simple" to get results written for students
  • avoid Ad results
