Your powerpoint presentation will contain four sections your two seed experiments, your animal observations, and a comparison and contrast of plants and animals. You have already created three as the applications for your lessons throughout this unit. Now you will create the final section of your powerpoint presentation.
For this section of your powerpoint presentation, you will create three to six slides.
Characteristics Unique to Plants (1 2 Slides)
Identify characteristics that are unique to plants, using text and pictures
Characteristics Unique to Animals (1 2 Slides)
Identify characteristics that are unique to animals, using text and pictures
Similarities Between Plants and Animals (1 2 Slides)
Identify similarities between plants and animals, using text and pictures
Once you have completed the comparison and contrast section of your presentation, combine all of the slides together into one presentation.
Add an introductory slide and transition slides for clarity.
Include a works cited slide at the end, with a list of all of the sources that you have used for this presentation.
