Biology Animal Project II

 Due January 11, 2010

 Add to your journal of life forms one representative from each of the following phyla (1) annelida (2) mollusca (3) arthropoda and (4) echinodermata. For (5) chordata, add a representative from the following classes: (A) osteicthyes or chondricthyes (B) amphibia (C) reptilia (D) aves (E) mammalia. Add (6) viroids to the last section (viruses and prions).

 

v  Use tabs to identify each section (1-5) of the journal.

v  Prepare a decorative front cover and a plain back cover.

v  Provide a table of contents. Number all pages.

v  Include labeled and colored diagrams of the organisms.

v  Include a page at the end with a list of the sources you used.

                        Use at least one source other than the textbook.

v  Use at least one full page per type of organism.

v  Place a phylogenetic tree of life directly behind the table of contents.

v  Identify how the organisms:

·         obtain energy

·         dispose of waste

·         reproduce

·         maintain homeostasis

o   ectotherm, endotherm

·         circulate nutrients and oxygen

·         move signals throughout the organism (usually a nervous and endocrine system)

v  Include important characteristics of body design and/or cell structure.

v  Describe the organism’s habitat and where they would be in a food chain/web.

v  Identify the domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species for each organism, as well as the name of the organism.

 

Scoring Rubric: Insert this entire page at the end of your project. This is the grade sheet.
