Crawfish Puzzle

This puzzle is built upon one of the templates available on the Learning Magic, Inc.'s Puzzling CD. In this activity children can click using a mouse, IntelliKeys® keyboard, switch or other access device to remove the puzzleÕs pieces.

As the three puzzle pieces are removed, a close-up photograph of a one inch tall crawfish with his pinchers fully extended in an attack position is revealed.

One final click on the puzzle results in a short movie of the same crawfish waving his pinchers back and forth at the photographer as he slowly retreats to the water's edge.

We envision that this puzzle can not only be used as a simple cause and effect activity but also as a story starter to the Crawfish Festival Adventure activity (i.e. what is a crawfish?) or as an instructional introduction to the subject of crustaceans and other marine animals.

Crawfish Puzzle was built in Classroom Suite v. 3.2. The activity can be run on the ITAN Player. But IntelliPics Studio 3® is needed to perform data capture, automatic grading and portfolio management, as well as any editing or changes to the activity itself. Required Software: IntelliTools Classroom Suite® v. 3.2 .
