Reptiles and Amphibians Interactive Identification Game: This is not your average PowerPoint! This PowerPoint is a live-working interactive dichotomous key! Each slide has code embedded within it that allows the students to answer yes or no questions about reptiles and amphibians.
The students are to pick an animal they like to begin the "game" or lesson. The students are then presented with questions about the animals such as: Is the animal a reptile or amphibian? Does the animal need to live in moist habitats? Does the animal have teeth? etc.
After clicking the correct button, only the animals with the chosen characteristics are left on the screen. Additional questions are asked until the correct animal is chosen.
This PowerPoint can be used in many different ways:
*Teaching young children about reptiles and amphibians
*Teaching young and older children about animal characteristics
*Teaching older children about dichotomous keys
Important Note: This interactive works when in SlideShow mode
