A simple Venn Diagram has only 2 circles that overlap. In the center, where the circles overlap, is where you list how the 2 things are alike and the outer circles are for listing how the 2 things are different.
Let the kids compare 2 or more animals using Venn Diagrams.
For example, they could compare and contrast a dog and a frog.
They are alike in that they both have a backbone and they both have 4 legs.
They are different because the dog is a mammal and warm-blooded, whereas the frog is an amphibian and cold-blooded.
Older students can compare 3 or more animals in each Venn Diagram (just add more circles). They can also use the facts in their graphic organizer(s) to write an essay about their animals.
