Introduction
Do you know what a mammal is? There are so many different kinds of mammals in the world. Some we know and see everyday and
others we know nothing about and have never seen in person. Think about what mammals are and what mammal you are interested in
and would like to know more about. The goal is to learn about a certain mammal that you are interested in and be able to share that
information with the class.
Task
You are going to do some research and decide which mammal you want to learn about. Once you decide on that mammal you are going
to put together a PowerPoint presentation of interesting facts and information about that mammal. Once completed you will present your
presentation to the class showing the class what you learned about your mammal. Then at Family Fun Night you will present that same
presentation to the students and parents attending.
Process
1. Spend some time researching different types of mammals.
2. Select the mammal you want to create your project on.
3. Research more about your mammal for more information, pictures, and interesting facts.
4. Design a PowerPoint presentation with the information and pictures you found.
5. Present your project.
Below is a link to images of mammals that will help you get started on picking your mammal.
