Presentation assignment
The goal of this research paper is to familiarize yourself with the animals that inhabit different kinds of forests.
Each group chooses one forest type to focus on. The group is tasked with making a presentation on the animal species that can be found in their forest type.
The presentation can be completed in the following ways:
The presentation can be completed in the following ways:
- as a written research paper (text file)
- as an oral presentation (e.g. with a PowerPoint slideshow)
- as a poster
The goal of the assignment is that all students learn the following things about
The goal of the assignment is that all students learn the following things about
- How have different animals adapted to life in their forest type?
- What are the common characteristics of different animal species (size, distribution)?
- What are the common characteristics of different animal species (size, distribution)?
- What kinds of things (climate, food, predators, humans) influence the survival of the animal species?
The presentations can be prepared by using the group note modules, which are found on each subpage. The teacher can create additional group note modules.

Forest types
The goal of the assignment is to study different forest types. Each forest type includes six animals to focus on.
1) First, choose a forest type.
2) Find out what you should find out about each animal.
3) The subpages on the left contain photographs of the animals. You can use them in your presentation.
