Snapshot Serengeti


What an interesting site - Snapshot Serengeti.

Students are asked to participate in a classification project on the Serengeti.  Using photos captured from game cameras across the Serengeti Preserve, students use a list of options to classify these animals.

This is pretty cool on several levels.  These are actual photos of the animals in their natural habitats - something that our students in rural Iowa don't have an option to see.  The interactive activity brings the students deeper in to the activity.  Check it out!
