PARTICIPATE
in our project by voting for your favorite whale. This project is an
effort to build an awareness of whales, their behaviors, and
population status in the world, and to determine which whale is the
most popular among children and adults. Results will be shared on
this page weekly, from March 9th through April 3rd, 1998. Check every
Monday.
This
project invites participants to research and choose their favorite
whale from among the eight species presented. Information available
through this project includes interesting facts, descriptions of the
whales, and drawings. Click on the whale images above to see this
information.
To
PARTICIPATE,
individuals or classes vote and submit the data via
WHALE
MAIL here (mknauer@ucf.k12.pa.us).
Participants are encouraged to submit WHY they chose their whale. The
results will be displayed each week for four weeks and a winner will
be declared on April 6th. A summary of the results will be published
by April 15th, 1997.
This
project grew out of our fifth grade gifted support class' study of
the Voyage
of the Mimi, an interdisciplinary
program which focuses on whales, whaling, sailing, and the ocean.
Students chose a species of whale, researched it, wrote and delivered
speeches about the whale, made campaign posters, and voted. The top
seven favorites are presented in this project.
