Project: Plants and the Desert (3)
Carefully follow the directions on the OW project page. Leave a note in the Help Note to let me know when you have started this. Send me a note every couple of days to tell me what you observe. After 15 days when you get to the end of the unit, return to this assignment and complete it. Compare the rate of growth of each group. Write a paragraph about the growth of the two groups.
Be patient, because it will take ten to fifteen days to complete. :)
Materials:
You will need:
1 package of quick-growing seeds (Marigold or lima bean seeds work well.)
2 containers for planting
Potting soil
Sand

Report: Desert Animals (4)
Read through ALL the information here before you begin. :)
You are going to pretend you are a desert animal. You will need to think about what you would eat, where you would live, and what dangers you might face in your world. You will be choosing one desert animal to learn about. (See below.) Then you will write a report about YOUR LIFE as a desert animal. Tell the story like you are the animal. :) You should have at least one paragraph. Then you will need to draw AND color a picture of what you (as the animal) look like. Remember this project is worth 100 points. To receive full credit make sure you do a complete job. :)
Read my story and then write your own. -
Some people think I am a slimy creature, but I am really quite fascinating! Let me introduce myself. I am a lizard and I live in the desert where it is very hot. I am a coldblooded animal so I have to be careful to not overheat. Some of my family chooses to live on the banks of the rivers while others live in the woodlands. We are all different shapes, sizes, and colors, and we all enjoy eating insects. Yum!
One really cool thing everyone in my family can do is lose a tail! If someone tries to capture me for instance, I have the ability to break my tail off which can help me to escape. I kind of leave the person holding "the tail" rather than me. So as you can see, I am an interesting creature with a pretty cool trick for keeping safe.
Click HERE to view the website Dessert Wildlife Viewing- You will need to scroll down toward the bottom of the page to get to the section on Animal & Wildlife Features. Check out all the choices and look through the information for the animal you choose "to become" for your paper. What will you decide to be and what story will you share? :) I am looking forward to reading your story! :)
