I would use this web quest while teaching a unit on habitats. The web quest should take one week to complete. On day one the students will read the fact sheet and begin their quest. On the third day students should be completing their web quest and begin their art project. The art project will be given two days to complete. Students may print photos of animals, make animals out of clay, or use small toys.
