//Class Assignment for the Week of April 20, 2009 - Watching Animals Online with Zoo Webcams //


 * This week, we will be "Virtual Zookeepers"! We will access animal webcams at several zoos around the U.S. While we enjoy their playful activities, we will write down what they are doing. After we watch and write for 15 minutes, we will share our observations. We will add them to our class discussion under the Discussion tab right after this page.**

If you need a copy of the //Zoo Cam Observations// sheet, download a copy here.

To get started:

1. Open up the Internet Explorer browser on your computer. 2. Go to the [|Ms. Picard's Links] page. 3. Open up the //Science// section 4. Open up the //Animal Webcams// subsection. 5. Choose any link that you see there, and follow the directions on the page to look at animal webcams. 6. Use the //Zoo Cam Observations// sheet to record what you see. Remember: 7. When Ms. Picard says it is time to stop observing and make your discussion entry, click here to go to the Discussion page, where you will enter a reply to the "Zoo Cam Discussion" Ms. Picard has started there.
 * Just write notes - short phrases, short descriptions.
 * Remember, if you don't see any animals in the webcam, just write that you did not see it.
