Kingdom Animalia Book
Date: ______________
Period: ____________
Project Description
For our animal unit you will create a book describing the nine major phylum of the Kingdom Animalia, general
similarities between all animals, and general animal behavior. Each week instead of a Friday quiz, you will
have a check-in meeting to demonstrate your progress on the book. Completion of this book will prepare
you for your animal unit test and give you a better understanding for the amazing diversity in the Kingdom
Animalia.
