Australian Project Resources

You are all doing a really good job learning about your Australian organism.

I thought it might be helpful to put the various resources in one place.

Mrs. Gow's Web Page for the project -- click here.
A good resource for Australian animals -- click here.

Here's what you are doing:
1. You claim an organism (which you have all already done).
2. You research the organism. Keep track of the sites you visit with the "Virtual Bibliography" that Mrs. Gow made for us.
3. You answer the questions on the "Scaffolding" worksheet. On this worksheet, you are answering 3 basic questions:
a. Structural Stuff - Cool stuff about how your organism is put together.
b. Functional Stuff -- Cool stuff your organism does with its parts.
c. Behavioral Stuff - How your organism uses what it has.

The next step will be presenting it to Mrs. Gow and her class. We'll discuss that next.

Have fun!

Go to Mrs. Gow's website, go to one of the Voicethread thingees, find your organism, then record.

Here's the website:
