Internet Research & Create Animal Trading Cards

Today, we will begin by spending some time exploring the National Geographic Creature Features website. You will need to choose two animals (make sure they are from two different classifications - mammals, fish, birds, insects, reptiles or amphibians), then do a bit of research about those animals.  Fill in the worksheet provided and then we will begin to create animal information cards with photos and facts about our animals!

The National Geographic site can be found here:
