May 18-22

1st Period

Monday- Friday: Take care of chicks (feed, water, proper temperature)


Digestive System Metaphor Project
The goal:  To create a journey through the modified monogastric digestive tract (Avian) from start to finish. 
The fun part:  You can ONLY use pictures to represent each part (organ) of the digestive track.
-For example, cut out a picture of a compost pile or compost bin to represent the “crop”
The assignment: Create a labeled collage of the digestive track a poster.  In addition to your collage, you must turn in a key which explains your reasoning for selecting the pictures that you chose to represent each digestive organ.  You must also describe the actual function of the organ. 
-For example, “I chose to represent the crop with a picture of a compost pile because the crop stores a large amount of food and also breaks down carbohydrates.  In a compost pile, food is stored and broken down into soil to be used later. “

List of parts that must be included in your collage:

Modified Monogastric (Avian)
1.    Beak
2.    Tongue
3.    Esophagus
4.    Crop
5.    Proventriculus
6.    Gizzard
7.    Small Intestine
8.    Ceca
9.    Large Intestine
10.  Cloaca

2nd Period
Monday-Friday:

Name:________________
Wetlands Road Construction Project
Description: You will be researching road construction designs and techniques. You will then write a report and build a scale model of a 4 lane highway to be built across a wetland.  You should construct the roadway in a manner that creates minimal damage to the wetland. Keep in mind factors such as: cost, construction materials, soil erosion, habitat destruction, affects on wildlife, etc.
1.)  You will first write a report describing how you will build the roadway

2.)  Next you will construct a model 4 lane highway that will be built across a wetland.

Requirements for Report:
·       Describe the design and technique of the roadway you will build
·       Describe how you will minimize damage to the wetland
·       Include a budget of how much it will cost to construct the roadway
·       Include materials needed to construct roadway (as if it were an actual roadway)
·       Describe how you will minimize soil erosion, habitat destruction and negative effects on wildlife
·       Any other important information you think should be included in the report
·       Should be at least 1 page, 12 pt font, typed. But must have ALL of the requirements listed above

Requirements for Model:
·       Can use materials from school or can bring materials from home
·       Must have a drawing of the wetland underneath/around/through the roadway

·       Model should show how you are planning on minimizing destruction of wetland
