Do you know what animals eat? Do all animals eat all the same things? What is your favorite animal? Do you know what a carnivore, herbivore, and omnivore are?

This webquest will assist students in learning the difference between a carnivore, herbivore, and an omnivore. They will learn these three terms through a process of reading books, websites, playing fun games, and watching videos.

Have fun with the various activities and ask an adult for help!
