For this project, you will construct a scrapbook on ecology. The scrapbook should have a front & back cover (construction paper or printer paper) with your name on the front. On each page, you should include the name of the item to find, a definition of that item, a picture of the item (from a magazine, book, catalog, etc., or an actual picture – NOT simply printed from a computer), and a brief description of how the picture fits the definition. I have plenty of magazines in my room if you need them. You may place up to 2 items on each page and the pages may be front and back, if you like. Below is a list of the items you are to include in your scrapbook along with a few extra credit items. The extra credit items must be actual pictures, not cutouts. This project counts as 1 test grade and is due Monday, March 28, 2005. This is an individual project – NOT a group project. No two projects should be alike. If they are, you will receive a ZERO!
