Animal Identification Keys

A clever presentation introduces youngsters to animal identification keys. On the first slide, viewers choose an animal and then answer yes-or-no questions about its characteristics. When they have completed the process, they click on a box to reveal the animal's identity. This can be viewed by the entire class, or used by individuals at a computer station. Learners are challenged to create their own dichotomous key for their choice of animals on the final slide.
