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 or using photos to add detail to your animal’s habitat 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 18, 2013. Have fun, get creative and learn!
Sincerely,
Ms. Suckoo
