Switcheroo Zoo is bound to be a hit with your young learners, but I'm already thinking up ways to use it with my teens. The site contains lots of activities related to animals and their habitats. It's a mine of useful information, but the fun starts in the 'Switch Zoo' where it's possible to create new animals from the composite parts of existing ones. Here's a picture of my 3-minute creation: Bengal Gizard!
- Learners can mix up their own animals and then use the animal facts to write profiles for their creations - let their imaginations soar as they practise their writing skills
- Build a habitat most suitable for the animals met on the site
- Let learners take a guided tour to find out more about the animal kingdom
- Use as part of a larger project where learners create a world using Terragen and then visit this site to populate their planets
