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)

Spreadsheet for Zoo Project

Objective: You need to make a spreadsheet with your zoo project partner. Your spreadsheet needs to have a sheet for each kind of animal in your zoo. Here is a video teaching you how to use the spreadsheet app.

Working with Our ePortflios

Today we are going to add more to our portfolios.  If you haven't created all your pages, changed your theme or changed your font, go back to the other lesson and complete that first.

You need to write an introduction for each page.  On your home page you are going to write an All About Me section.  Include who you are, where you were born, what school you go to, your interests and whatever else you think is important for people to know.

On each of your subject pages introduce some things we do for that subject area, some things you are really good at, some things that are challenges for you and set a goal or two that you would like to work on.  You can include extra stuff if you want.

AFTER you have updated each of the sections, you may add a picture to each of your pages that represents what that page is about.

Watch this video to see how to edit your page and how to add pictures.
