Introduction to Project, Research in text Day 1
Due date April 24, 2009 (Drop ppt in Studentshare, Class drop, Science, Hunter (Open ppt,
Save as, name the ppt, go to My Computer, Studentshare, Class drop, Science, Hunter, your class
period, Save) :
Research / create power point: 1 day in class, 2 days in Computer Lab
****BRING PRINTOUT TO CLASS on due date (file, print, handout, grayscale, 6 slides per page)
For EACH of the following Groups:
o On first slide for each group: Include Classification: Phylum, Subphylum, (Superclass), Class
o
o
o
(8) (2) Group 1
Include characteristics as directed, bulleted information,
NOT complete sentences
*Include number of pictures as directed, including common names for each picture
Create the number of slides for each group necessary to make a good quality power
point
