Pick Your Charity

Hello Boys and Girls,

Today we are going to look at some project that help people in need.  We are going to research about these issues and create a persuasive presentation that persuades the 3rd graders to help that charity or cause.  Today you are going to look at 2 organizations, kiva and globalgiving, and pick some people that you would be interested in helping.

First, visit each website and decide which issues are the most interesting to you.  Then, fill out the google form (in your gmail) with the name of the cause and your explanation of why you chose it.

Zoo Project Costs

Objective:  I can calculate the cost of building my zoo through using the 4 operations and my understanding of area and perimeter.

First you will need to find the area and perimeter of each enclosure. You will use the prices below to calculate the cost of each enclosure in meters.

Afterwards, you will need to add vegetation both inside and outside your enclosures so the animals feel comfortable and your zoo looks attractive. You will need to calculate these costs using square meters costs.

Record all your calculations on your google spreadsheet.

START UP COSTS 

AQUATIC (Freshwater or Saltwater $3000 each pool at 16 meters squared or $200 per square meter). 

AQUARIUM ($4000 for each aquarium, 20 meters squared).  

ARCTIC (1 enclosure 32 meters squared $30,000). 

DESERTS (Desert or Chaparral $200 per square meter) 

FORESTS (Tropical, Deciduous, or Coniferous $350 per square meter) 

GRASSLANDS (Savanna, Temperate, or Steppes $100 per square meter) 

TUNDRA (Arctic or Alpine $400 per square meter) 

TREES ($100 each tree) 

LARGE ROCK ($50) 

TYRE SWING ($5) 

WOODEN SHELTER ($200 per square meter) 

CONCRETE ($50 per square meter) 

ENCLOSURE FENCING ($50 per meter) 

BUILDERS ($15,000 one-time cost)

Design a Zoo Project!

Your task is to design your own zoo.  You have been given a total budget of $100,000 dollars.  The total cost of your zoo must not exceed the budget you have.  Your zoo must have at least 5 different enclosures with at least 5 different species of animal and there must be some type of vegetation inside your enclosures based on the animal's needs.  There are some logical steps that you need to follow to complete the design of your zoo.

Firstly, you will need to decide on the animals that you wish to have in your zoo.  You will need to decide on the animals that you wish to have in your zoo.  You will need  to research each animal and decide how much space the need, what type of food they eat and if they co-exist well with each other (if you are having more than one animal in each enclosure)

Using the graphic organizer and the information on this website San Diego Zoo choose the animals for your zoo.
