Ocean Animals: This ocean animals interactive identification game is not your average PowerPoint! This PowerPoint is a live-working interactive dichotomous key! Each slide has code embedded within it that allows the students to answer yes or no questions about marine animals.
The students are to pick an animal they like to begin the "game" or lesson. The students are then presented with questions about marine animals such as: Is the animal a mammal? Is the animal a vertebrate? Is the animal soft bodied?
After clicking the correct button, only the animals with the chosen characteristics are left on the screen. Additional questions are asked until the correct animal is chosen.
This PowerPoint can be used in many different ways:
*Teaching young children about marine animals
*Teaching young and older children about animal characteristics
*Teaching older children about dichotomous keys
