Students will be studying animal classification in science and are expected to produce a report on an animal of their choosing. The students will use their research to create a class encyclopedia in the form of a wiki. The students will be posting their findings to a class wiki and will be using a BuILder (or, if technology availability is limited, a handout) to guide students through the research process.

While designed for 4th grade students, this can be adapted for 3rd or 5gh grade as well.
