Monday-Friday: Livestock Project
Livestock
Project
Directions:
Each
of you will choose a livestock animal to create a poster to share with the
class. Any pictures on the poster need
to be printed out in color, or drawn with color. All words on the poster must be typed out or
written neatly with permanent marker. Anything
that is being glued on the poster needs to have backing paper (construction
paper). You will be sharing these with
the class so make sure the words and pictures are big enough for everyone to
see!!
You
will need to include the following information on your poster:
□ Title:
you can simply put the name of your livestock animal, or come up with something
creative!
□ A picture of the animal you chose
(if you have a specific breed make sure you have the correct picture)
□ What is the purpose of your animal?
(think of food, fiber, work, and look on the internet for other uses too!) I
would like at least 5 different uses of your animal, and if you put more, it
will be extra credit
□ A picture that goes with each
purpose. For example: if the purpose of your animal is meat, you could put a
picture of a steak. You will have a
total of 5 pictures.
□ Do
we raise this animal in Montana?
□ If
we do raise this animal in Montana, where in the state is it raised? Include a
picture of the county/town/region.
□ Where did
your animal originate?
□ A picture
of where your animal originated
□ An interesting fact that you found
while researching about your livestock animal!
** You will be graded on neatness,
spelling/grammar/punctuation, and each requirement above!

Ideal Greenhouse
We have discussed the major points of locating, designing,

You now need to make a diagram/ drawing/ or model of your ideal
greenhouse.
The following considerations must be incorporated into the
drawing and then discussed in a paper that explains the design.
1. Location: where and why is it located there. Remember to think about latitude and
longitude, topography, climate, light intensity etc.
2. Zoning: In relation to you local position where are
you? (residential, commercial, industrial, urban vs. rural etc.)

supply do you have? Where is it located,

Connected, Even Span, etc.

lexan, FRP, Glass ……
6. Heat system: Fuel used, heater type,
location, thermostats, fog heat, steam, hot water, etc.
7. Business type: Research, retail,
wholesale, personal use ….
8. Cooling system: Vents, evaporative
cooling pads, fans, air conditioners, shade cloths etc. …
9. Circulation system: Keep the air moving and evenly cooled/heated.
10. Lights:

Has anything important
been forgotten???
Explain the situation in which you choose to operate your
greenhouse and then design it for that situation. Make sure to consider all 12 factors listed

the others. Design for me the most
ideal greenhouse for your situation.
