Introduction

This is a MobiQuest. This classroom is your HQ, where you are provided with the equipment you need to complete this MobiQuest.

You and your team are going on a hunt...you will search for minibeasts out in the wild, observe them and collect data about them. A minibeast is a small animal that can be found in water and land habitats.

There are lots of minibeasts out there....it would be difficult to identify and name them all. But they can be classified into groups based on common features such as their shape or the number of legs they have.

To be able to classify things, you have to first observe them and collect information, or data, about them.

Today, you will use your mobile phones to collect the data and later you will be able to view the data you collected, and use it to put minibeasts into groups based on their characteristics.

You will follow the steps at the left to complete your MobiQuest.
