Project Plan (50 pts) due _____________
I will keep track of absences. Any individual absent will have -15 points per day missed (that’s a letter grade per day)
from the group’s grade for their individual grade unless the absence has had prior approval from Mrs. Glisson or it is an
excused absence (student activity, doctor’s note, death in family, etc).

Your group will be creating a life size skeleton.
80 points The following 40 bones should be labeled: (DO NOT double label things!!!)

separated) Mandible, Maxilla, Zygomatic, Nasal, Mental Foramen, External acoustic meatus
