Mar. 9th Article Summary for 11th grade
I know, I'm so mean for giving an assignment over break, but hey, that's what I do. I can't just let you sit around and not think about science for 10 days in a row.

Chapter 9 Challenge Assignment
Ok, 7th grade. Guess what: you get a chance to add a whole 5% to your next chapter test grade if you can complete this extra credit assignment by Monday, February 23rd. Here is the challenge:
You need to do some internet research that you can put on this web page. Find:
- At least ONE web page about a species of protist or fungit that explains in words YOU can understand. Write your own summary, including the name of the species in binomial nomenclature.
- At least THREE high-quality pictures of your species, each one a different view that shows something different about the species. This could be different angles, shapes, or magnifications.
- At least ONE decent video that helps to show how this species moves or grows.
Use the example given here and post your own comment on this article, in the same way. If you need help with the computer part, ask outside class or by email to me, Mr. Rice
Example:
Ulva Lactica - common name: Sea Lettuce
Sea lettuce is a species of green algae, in the phylum chlorophyta. They grow in ocean environments in different parts of the world and are often able to be eaten. I know this because I have tried them. They can be TASTY!
Check out some articles about them here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_lettuce
http://www.crd.bc.ca/watersheds/protection/wildlife-plants/sealettuce.htm
Those articles have some good pictures. Here is another really good one with pictures too:

And, here are some videos:

And, just to let you know, I did this assignment in about 20 minutes. It might take you about an hour. But, have fun with it! Try to learn a little about your particular subject. If you can tell me something useful about it on the extra credit question in the next test (DURING the test) then you'll be able to earn up to another 5%. That means you can make a total of 10% extra. That means going from a C to a B, or even a B to an A.
Good luck! I hope to see your entries here.

Great Photos of Diverse Bacteria and Protozoans
I found this page while doing research for 7th grade. I love the pictures. Great color. Better than a photocopied textbook any day.
Enjoy.
