Handout Zoo Activity
Handout Zoo Activity
As part of your assignment, you are studying classification and think you are hot on the trail of some new information that will blow the scientific community away. In order for you to continue this research, you have developed a chart to study the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the animal you feel will most aid your study. After discussing with your 5 other scientific colleagues, you will choose one Class of the Animal Kingdom and focus on any animal at the zoo that belongs to the Class you have chosen…Don’t worry, your colleagues will cover the other animal classes!
Part of being a researcher involves observation and hypothesis. Most exhibits have information on signs and plaques, so….Read! Read! Read!
Observe as much of your chosen animal as possible and hypothesize where necessary, as you will not find all the information you are looking for at the exhibits. In order to learn more, attend the Meet the Zookeeper presentation on the animal you are observing (look at map in Visitors Guide for times) and ask lots of questions!
