This is a project based lesson plan for 3rd grade science. Students are taught how to classify an animal as a mammal. In this project based lesson plan, students will be split up in assigned groups of four. Each group will be assigned a mammal. Students will conduct a research project on their assigned mammal and create a Google slide presentation. Groups will present their mammal to the class using their Google presentation. After all presentations have been presented, individually students will be asked to choose their favorite mammal. Students will paint their favorite mammal, and identify which of the 11 mammal groups their mammal belongs.
