Color Crazy

This WebQuest is about animals using their color in surviving in the wild. I would not change very much. I dont think that I would have the students find a coloring page to color an animal. There is already a step that has the students create an animal and use colors to make it camouflage. I would also use different colors for text.

The teacher used the following standards and skills:

SKCS1. Students will be aware of the importance of curiosity, honesty, openness, and skepticism in science and will exhibit these traits in their own efforts to understand how the world works.
SKCS5. Students will communicate scientific ideas and activities clearly.
a. Describe and compare things in terms of number, shape, texture, size, weight, color, and motion.
b. Begin to draw pictures that portray features of the thing being described.
SKL1. Students will sort living organisms and non-living materials into groups by observable physical attributes.

b. Group animals according to their observable features such as appearance, size, motion, where it lives, etc.

SKL2. Students will compare the similarities and differences in groups of organisms.

a. Explain the similarities and differences in animals. (color, size, appearance, etc.)
