Marine Invertebrate ID Lab
Mission: You are a marine biologist and are identifying photographs taken by an underwater camera
of marine invertebrates. It is your job to identify the photographs with their common name.
1. Fold 3 blank pieces of computer paper into 6 equally-spaced rectangles.
2. Write the names of the marine invertebrates below onto the computer paper.
