Electricity Venn Diagrams

English Language Arts and Science

After the children have learned some facts about both Static and Current Electricity and Series and Parallel Circuits they can create Graphic Organizers to compare and contrast. They can use a Venn Diagram or other graphic organizer to list their facts.

In the center (overlapping parts of the circles) list how the things are alike and use the outer parts of the circles for listing how the things are different.

After they complete the graphic organizers, older students can write essays comparing the two forms of energy or the two circuits with the information in their Venn Diagrams or other graphic organizers.

Use a Venn Diagram to Compare Animals

I think Graphic Organizers are great for kids! An easy one to use is the Venn Diagram where you get to compare and contrast 2 or more things.

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.
