Today we Skyped with the North Carolina Zoo. Each of student prepared the following:
1. Wrote predictions on the animal's physical characteristics, diet, and habitat.
2. Illustrated a picture showing the three predictions.
3. Came up with a couple of questions and wrote them on sticky notes.

They shared their thoughts with the presenter, Nikki. Then they were able to meet various live animals including a blue-tongued skink. Students were able to interact with the scientist and ask their questions and any new ones they came up with during the presentation. After learning about the blue-tongued skink, they sent a thank you message. Now they are able to ask any follow-up questions in the future by simply calling them on Skype. The next small group is planning to use multiple iPads and the group calling aspect of Skype. Thank you Mr. MacAllister and Nikki!
