**__Step 1 __**
Please help! The mommy animals in the zoo have lost their babies. The zoo is full of all sorts of different animals. Some look alike and some are very different. Please help match the mommy animal to their baby so they can be together again. On the paper I have printed out for you please draw a line from mom (right) to baby (left). After the class has finished we will discuss your answers.

A..

MOMMY POLAR BEAR B.

MOMMY BROWN BEAR

C.

MOMMY BLACK BEAR

D.

MOMMY GORILLA

E. .

MOMMY ORANGATAUN

F..

MOMMY CHIMPANZEE

G.

MOMMY SIBERIAN TIGER H.

MOMMY WHITE TIGER  ==**__LET'S TALK ABOUT IT!__      **== Now that we have matched the moms with their babies it is time to discuss why we matched them up the way we did.
 * Did the mommy and baby have the same color fur/hair?
 * Did the mommy and baby have similar facial features such as whiskers, ears, nose etc.
 * Were there differences?
 * What do you think we were unable to see because we were limited to pictures?
 * Do you think if we were at the zoo we could see or hear things that would help us determine families that we are unable to see here?

**__Step 2__ **
Now that we have looked at the similarities between moms and babies we should have a better understanding of where babies get their physical traits from. It is now time for you to show me what you have learned. Below is a picture of a Dalmatian. I would like you to draw its baby. Looking at the mother and her physical characteristics can you predict what her baby would look like? Let see what you think.

Now that you are all finished with your pictures lets talk about what you drew and why.
 * Did you draw spots or one color?
 * Did you draw 2 legs or 4?
 * Does the baby have a tail?
 * Does the baby have whiskers?
 * Did you draw pointed ears or floppy?
 * Did you draw wings on your dog?
 * And how about the collar. Is that hereditary? Mom is wearing a collar. Does that mean the baby will have one too?

We have looked at animals and what traits are passed from parent to baby. Lets now look at what traits were passed from your parents. Your assignment is to go home and study mom and dad. Find out their eye color, hair color, skin color, and how tall they are. Look at their features such as freckles, ear shape, nose shape, toes, and dimples. Make sure you also look at the obvious. Do your parents have two arms and two legs or four legs, do they have paws or hands, a beak or mouth. I will send you home with a sheet full of these questions. I will give you until Thursday to get your answers. If you have time feel free to expand your research and look at grandparents and siblings. Do not be afraid to come up with a few of your own questions. Some parents may have distinctive traits that I may not have mentioned.

When all your information is gathered and back to the classroom we will discuss the similarities between each of you and your parents. All of the work we did up to this point in steps one and two and this research project will all be put into a book. We will each take a picture a paste it into the last page of our book and list all our characteristics. This will finish our Web Quest project.
