Project Goal: To facilitate self-directed study for students to learn about animals within different environments.

Method: Each number is a pop-up that tells a story about an animal.  By keeping the student within the “environment” made it much easier for them to not only associate the animal with that environment but also which animals live together.  The overall exercise consisted of several environments grouping the animals within separate representational pictures. This improved comprehension rate and was a far more enjoyable learning experience.

Result:  Students were more successful on the exam.
