Today we started in with a review of the guided reading from yesterday and I introduced an assignment for a Venn Diagram project. I want it to be our first poster-size project of the quarter to replace what we have on the walls in the commons area from 3rd quarter. This assignment goes as follows:
Directions:
1. Make a list of 5 organisms, including yourself that reside in and around a certain habitat.
2. Create a list of biotic factors and abiotic factors for each organism within its specific habitat. Remember, An organism interacts with both the living and nonliving parts of its habitat.
3. Provide a picture of the organism and its population within its environment for each of the five habitats.
4. Create a Venn diagram connecting the organisms and show what resources they share and what resources they don’t.
5. Label these concepts on the picture: organism, habitat, biotic factor, abiotic factor, species, population, community, ecosystem.
6. Be creative! Make it as colorful and informative as possible.
Here is an example of a 5 set Venn Diagram:
