- Abstract
The article discusses the use of digital cameras as tool used for young inquisitive scientists to learn about animals during their school field trips to the zoo. The tools will enable the students to create an open-ended question for investigation, capture and record their observations as well as creating digital story to share their findings of animal behavior. In the activity, students need to have prior experience to work cooperatively, learn by exploration and use the tools safely during science. In addition, the experience help students to classify the characteristics of animals and how they survive in their habitat.
