Read ALL directions before beginning!


 * CITE YOUR SOURCES! You will not receive full credit if you don't complete this step!**

Activity: You will design 3 habitats using SMART Notebook or any other program of your choice. You will need to add illustrations (pictures) and explain the habitat and what you would find in that habitat (animals, climate, plants, etc...). Some habitats you can choose are: wetlands, deserts, tropics, grasslands, forests, polar regions, mountains, and oceanic islands.

Directions: 1. Open SMART Notebook and your word processing program. 2. You can use the gallery of pictures in SMART Notebook to add pictures. 3. Click on the picture frame tab on the left hand side. To search for pictures, type in what you are looking for in the white box at the top. 4. When you find a picture that you want to add, double click on the picture and it will come up on your page. You can re-size your picture by dragging on the corners. 5. If you can't find any pictures that match your habitats, go to the internet, but remember, you **MUST** cite your sources! 6. You will need to design 3 habitats, thus you will have 3 pages. In addition to the illustrations, you will need to explain the habitat and what you would find there. 7. You can use your SMART Notebook page to also explain the habitat or you can use your work processing program. 8. When you finish, save your work in your Home folder and title it "Habitats". 9. Have fun and be creative!
