go to page 2 of that set of search results and find

GREAT SITE! There is general information on the first page about baby elephants, adolescent elephants, and adult elephants. Each phase has a link to a page with more detailed information.

 

You have been assigned stages of an elephant’s life to research. 

These stages are:  (1) Baby,   (2) Adolescent, and  (3) Adult

Read the material on your stage of the Elephant Life Cycle and write a report.  Do not copy the material.  Read and write your own words.   Include at least 1 picture related to each Stage but be sure to cite HISD Net Trekker as your source for the single picture you copy.  Cite your source for each picture.

Your report needs to have your name, date, class and title.
