Description
CRYPTOZOOLOGY / PSEUDOSCIENCE - WEBQUEST / INTERNET ASSIGNMENT
GRADES: 7-12
SUBJECT: SCIENCE, COMPUTERS
SPECIFIC WEBSITE: YES (link provided on assignment)
DISTANCE LEARNING: YES!
Students love this webquest (especially those who watch shows like Finding Bigfoot, Monster Quest, or who enjoy Urban Legends). I use this as an introduction to the area of Cryptozoology (a.k.a. Pseudoscience) and how scientists are constantly searching for undiscovered animal species or attempting to debunk fake claims.
WEBQUEST: The webquest tasks students with finding five cryptids that have been researched by scientists. Students need to identify dates, claims, and "evidence" that was found of the cryptid. A starting link is provided to help students make choices and easily find information (but they may choose to visit additional websites).
PROJECT: Students will design a 10-slide power point / Google Slides / Prezi of their researched Cryptids. This is ideal for homework or distance learning! My students LOVE this part of the assignment!
BONUS: A Venn Diagram is included for students to either use to compare/contrast two of their cryptids or to partner work. Great work partner or review work!
DOC & PDF Versions! The worksheet is given as a MS-Word document (DOC) which will allow easy modifying to fit your class. It is also provided as a PDF for ease of use/printing. Answer key is not included.
