Penguin WebQuest
You are a third grade Penguin trying to find out your family's history
to make a family tree. You have access to the Internet and you need to find
out all that you can about your ancestors so that you can write your report
for your teacher. She said that if you do a good job, she will give you
extra time to toboggan at recess!
What You Need To Do:
First, you need to choose what kind of Penguin you want to be. Then,
you need to do these three projects:
1. Answer the questions listed below by using the resource web pages
for your information.
2. Make a mask using construction paper to show what your penguin face
would look like.
3. Create a HyperStudio stack to show me what you learned. Your cards
should follow the directions that are listed below.
Questions:
1. Where in the world can you find your penguin?
2. What kind of food does your penguin eat?
3. What does your penguin look like?
4. How big can your penguin get?
5. How much does your penguin weigh?
6. Name three interesting facts that you learned about your
penguin.
HyperStudio Stack Directions:
You need to create an eight card stack. Your cards need to have this
information:
Card 1: Title Card- include your penguin's name, a picture
from the Internet, and your names.
Card 2: Draw a map or use the HyperStudio art folder to show where your
penguin can be found.
Card 3: Draw a picture of your penguin using the art tools and label
some important features that your penguin has.
Card 4: Type on your card how big your penguin can get and how much
it weighs. Draw a picture showing this.
Cards 5, 6, and 7: On these three cards, I want you to use the three
interesting facts that you learned about your penguin and put each fact
on a different card. You can add pictures from the Internet or draw them
yourself. This is where I want you to be creative!!
Card 8: Put your masks on and take a picture of each other using the
QuickTake camera. Import your pictures to your card 8 and write what you
liked best about doing this project.
