Introduction

You are opening the new neighborhood pet shop.  You will care for the many pets at Here We Go Again Pet Shop.  Many different animals and insects live in Here We Go Again.  Some of the pets that will be delivered include hamsters, goldfish, parakeets, geckos, puppies, crickets, poison dart frogs, snakes, and butterflies.  Members of your community can get their pets and supplies at your pet shop.

 

 



The Task

Your birds have escaped from their cages and are pecking and chirping near the mammals.  As you try and put the birds back in their cages, you notice that mammals and birds have things in common even though they are in different kingdoms.

1.  Create a VENN Diagram in KIDSPIRATION (with a partner) that compares and contrasts mammals and birds.

 



Process

1.                Go to KIDSPIRATION.

2.              With a partner create a VENN Diagram.

3.              Label one circle as ‘mammals’ and label the other circle as ‘birds.’

4.              Then type in characteristics for mammals and birds in the correct circles.  Remember that the middle circle is for similarities.



Evaluation

 

Turn your completed VENN Diagram in to your teacher.  Please make sure your name is on your paper.  Print one copy for each person.



Conclusion

You are well on your way to becoming an animal and insect expert!
