Students create a cover for the app. They may choose to
complete this at the end of the project after they have learned
about the animals.
9, 10
About the Animal
Students do research on the animal, then design/create the
app page using information. There are two pages in case one
is not enough.
11
Where in the World
Students fill in the world map showing where the animals are
found. They may add any other details they feel are
necessary.
Students learn that they’ll be creating an app to raise
awareness for endangered animals
12, 13
Threat Level
Students research how and why they are endangered, then
they transfer the information to the bottom portion for their
app. This is two pages and includes how they are being helped/
saved.
14
Conservagram
Students use the social media app, Conservagram, and share
two photos of the animal in their natural habitat.

Extra Pages
Students create a table of contents for all the pages they
used in their app. This should be completed at the end, so they
know all the pages they’ve done. It can be placed second
(behind the cover) when the app is put together.
The CREDITS page is the FINAL page. Students will create a
page with credits such as who they are, what they used for
research, and anything else that needs to be credited.
This is a set of extra pages for students that would like to
continue

Included are two pages of reflection questions for students to
think about and answer regarding their animal, conservation,
and saving the environment.

ENDANGERED
ANIMAL
AWARENESS
In this PBL activity, students will create an app about an animal
that is endangered. They will choose the animals, do research,
and develop/design an app. The app will showcase how they can
synthesize and share information to others.
This packet will walk students through the steps of designing the
app. When it is complete each student will have their own
personal version and vision of the app. There are also blank app
pages for students who have other ideas that they would like to
continue working on.
The app will be paper-based. Students will create a flip-book style
app. However, they may choose to get creative and add more
features (if you allow).
Each page will contain two parts:
The top half: RESEARCH.
-This will be for research purposes and students can write down
information they find. It’s also for notes.
The bottom half: APP.
-This side will be for students to take the research and create a
page for the app based on the content they find.
Students will also create an app cover, table of contents, and a
credits page. The app may be created vertically or horizontally.
There will be blank pages included for students that would like to
add even more.

ANIMAL
AWARENESS
You may choose to print out the pages in a single packet
or one by one (your choice).
Students will do research on the top and design the page
on the bottom.
Once each page is completed they will cut out the APP
portion of the page. These pages will them be glued on
top of each other to create their finished app.
Students should not glue pages down until they are
completely finished with all the pages they are going to
create.
There are blank pages included for students that would
like to continue creating. They are located at the end.
I would highly suggest using the website WWF.org when
completing this project. They have an expansive list of
animals and information listed here: SPECIES LIST
Youtube and Netflix have a massive amount of content
that can be used in conjunction with books and websites.

Conservationists need your
help! Animals are becoming
endangered and even going
extinct!
They need you to design an app
that will raise awareness for an
endangered animal that YOU
select.
You will have to do lots of
research about your animal!
Then you will create and
design an app and fill it with
all of your information you’ve
learned.
Raising awareness, learning how we can save animals, and
protecting the environment is more important than ever!
Be creative, use your imagination, and design the best app that
can show people what kinds of amazing animals need our help
around the globe.

Animal Awareness
When you complete an app page, you will cut out
the phone or app screen from each page.
This page has two screens to cut out, but most pages only have one.

Once all your pages are complete, you will put
them in the correct order.
The order of the content is up to you, just make
