First graders create a KWL chart on big cats. In this animal science lesson plan, 1st graders brainstorm what they already know about big cats and research big cats using various suggested websites. Students fill in the last column of the KWL chart and start to work on drawings of big cats using a desktop publishing program. Another extension on this activity is to orally compare and contrast the behavior of lions with other big cats and to create a puppet show to share information about big cats.
