Set Theory and Venn Diagram Assignment
  1. Go to the site, http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/vdiagram/#. This site contains an applet that provides a series of Venn diagram questions. For each question, you are provided with a venn digram and asked to determine the region in which a given object belongs. If you are uncertain how to use the applet, click on the How? button at the top of the page for instructions. These definitions may assist you in answering the venn diagram questions:
    herbivore - an animal which only eats plants
    feline - a member of the cat family
    quadruped - an animal which walks on 4 legs
    carnivore - an animal which only eats meat
