Animal Research Questions

Your group may choose to research one of the following animals of the Amazon Rain Forest: boa constrictor, toucan, macaw, tree porcupine, howler monkey, ocelot, anaconda, piranha, iguana, anteater, jaguar or three-toed sloth. After you have chosen your animal, each group member must answer all questions on your individual answer sheets. Your group will use these answers to create a poster to present to the class. You will receive instructions for that activity next week.

Directions: Circle the research tool used and answer the question.

***For the questions which are starred: write the page number where you found your information next to the research tool.
