Please choose one endangered animal and find answers to these questions. You will then have to present your findings in a PowerPoint.

What does endangered mean?
How many of your animal are alive in the wild or in captivity?
What is your animal’s main habitat?
What are the main predators of your animal?
What is the lifespan of your animal?
Can you find out the reasons why your animal is endangered?
Can you find out what is being done to preserve it? Which are the main organisations working on this?

Here are a range of websites that Mrs Robinson has found for you. If you click on the link, it will open in a new window.

Planning for next year using Mindomo

Mrs Robinson — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 20:28:37 +0000

As I work during the Summer I will be constantly adding my thoughts to this mindmap, made using Mindomo. A fantastic US teacher librarian , Buffy Hamilton, gave me the idea – so I am running with it!

Why not try this the next time you need to think something through:

See this on Mindomo and make one for yourself!
