Lesson+13

 Grade Level: 10 Unit: Biology Assignment type: Online activity Lesson objectives (include 2 or 3): Student will understand  Student will be able to  Time required to complete this lesson:  1 to 2 hours Title of lesson: Take a Dive Scavenger Hunt Resources/materials needed: Access the World Wide Web and this Web site  Description of lesson (if you were to describe to a parent what was happening in the classroom for this lesson, what would you say in a few paragraphs).  This is a recreational/educational activity based upon facts about marine animals of various kinds. Students read the introductions and questions in each box and then access the Web links in a given box which will take them to a Web site that will provide the answers to the questions. The answers are not usually apparent at first glance; the students must read carefully through the text of each site to discover the answers. I likely will not make this Scavenger Hunt a graded assignment. This will be an activity that students will access for their own interest or perhaps for extra credit. Assignment (homework or in-class: this is how the learner will practice the learning that has just occurred):  If I reward extra credit for this activity, students will write their answers on their own paper or in an Email sent to my Inbox. Technology used:  The World Wide Web and this Web site. The technology used in this lesson changes the teaching / learning in this way:  Students can access this activity at school, at home, or wherever they can access the Internet.
