We are about to begin our study of ecology, which is all about how living things relate to each other and their environment.
You are going to do some research to get us started. For this project, you are going to pick an organism and research it and the environment in which it lives. You are going to discover how it performs its life processes (MRLSTRNGER).
Your goal is to become an expert on your organism.
Here's the important part: The organism you pick has to be one YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE!
Here are a couple of good places to start:
Tree of Life Project
Encyclopedia of Life
You can show your research in a number of ways:
1) A Google Docs presentation
2) A Word/Google Docs document with pictures
3) A video of some kind
4) A poster (Glogster or on paper)
5) Scratch Animation
6) A model
7) Something else -- please talk to me about your ideas.
This assignment is due Monday, May 11th.
I am really looking forward to what you come up with!

I was wondering if it would be alright if we have heard of one of the words in the animals name, but we have not really ever "heard" of this certain type of animal before....
would that be alright?
Magentarocks,
What you suggested would be fine.
I am thinking of doing a Red Panda. I personally have never heard of it, but numerous people I have asked have heard of it.
Am I allowed to do that?
Magentarocks,
The Red Panda sounds fine.
I look forward to seeing what you do with it.
how many slides are needed for a google docs. presentation? cause im doing the olm. And there are limited sources that i can really understand.....
chrissybrown,
I wouldn't worry about the number of slides.
Do what you think is best.

Fascinating Facts
Matschie's tree kangaroos can leap 60 feet (18m) to the ground from trees without getting hurt.
Instead of sweating, Matschie's tree kangaroos lick their forearms and allow the evaporation to help cool their bodies.
Young Matschie's tree kangaroos are called joeys.
he habitat that they live in is very wet or not so wetlike rain forests so they can climd the trees and they can hind from ather animal and the tree are very high up.
