Grade 4 Science Research Project
1 Vertebrate and 1 Invertebrate
Find out details about a vertebrate and invertebrate of your choice:
· Habitats
· Diets
· How it cares for its own
· Size, weight & lifespan
· Defenses against enemy
· Unique behaviors
· Other interesting facts
Create a ‘Double Bubble’ comparing and contrasting these very different animals. Find out at least 3 things that are similar and 3 things that are different. Please use as much science vocabulary as you can to describe your animals. REMEMBER: Use deeper level thinking.
Example:
In addition to writing the names of the animals, you’ll also be drawing a detailed picture with their habitats as part of the ‘double bubble’ background. When your scientific art piece is complete, you will need to type a 3-paragraph research paper on your findings. Your paragraphs should include:1st paragraph – What two animals did you select?2nd paragraph – How are your animals the same and different?3rd paragraph – What have you learned from this project?
This project is due Friday, October 21, 2011. Have fun, get creative and learn!
Sincerely,
Ms. Suckoo
