Web Quest: Feathers, fur or leaves?
This web quest was created by Joanne Villis as a course component for Web Publishing and Education (EDUC 4061). It is based on the Australian Primary Connection Unit Feathers, fur or leaves ?
The Feathers, fur or leaves? unit was created by the Australian Academy of Science in order to provide opportunities for students to explore the features of living things, and the ways that these can be grouped together. For further information about the original unit please visit:
Primary Connections Year 3 | Biological sciences | Feathers, fur or leaves?
Joanne Villis would like to acknowledge:
Primary Connections was funded by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations as a quality teacher initiative under the Australian Government Quality Teacher Programme (www.qualityteaching.deewr.gov.au/agqtp/) <http://www.qualityteaching.deewr.gov.au/agqtp/)>.’

IWB Common Format Files CFF (*.iwb):
Alternatively, I have converted the Notebook files into common format files (CFF) for use across other IWB software. Please note, the flash images, text and spacing may be altered during exporting and importing files.
