Students examine basic facts about the anaconda. They discuss the length of an anaconda, estimate the length of 33 feet, compare their estimate to the actual length, and decorate the paper snake with colored scales.
In this Anacondas the Hunt for the Blood Orchid activity, students watch the video Anacondas the Hunt for the Blood Orchid and complete short answer questions about it. Students complete 19 questions.
Students create a multimedia animal research presentation based on the include criteria for both information and sideshow format. They follow directions on slide set-up from creating a slide to transitions and musical insertion.
Students investigate the Boa Constrictor and other snakes of the Peruvian rainforest of Manu. They watch and discuss a video, color and construct life-size paper snakes, conduct research, and write a science journal reflection.

What kind of crazy science experiment could create the title character from Dav Pilkey's Dogzilla? After reading the book, have your budding scientist/writers scheme up an idea that would cause another interesting creature. They can write an original story about their new creation using a Six Trait writing activity (which focuses on organization and idea development). A lesson extension allows you to take the activity even further.
