The Aquatic Notebook

  Hopefully this page will answer some of your question, as I know you have many.

Requirements: This notebook is to be put together via the computer. Some of your classmates have found several successful ways of doing so. If you are interested in using:

Your notebook should consist of 150 aquatic organisms. Each page should list the following information: The following are the limits I have set for the notebook: Helpful Hints:

1. DO NOT guess on any part of the taxonomy if you are not certain. I would rather you leave it blank than be
       wrong.
2. You may not be able to locate pictures for every organism, and that is fine.
3. Get started as soon as possible in keying out the organisms. You will spend much more time trying to figure
       them out then on the computer.
4. Help each other out. It is easier to work in groups to key out the organisms.

Note:

I will have more information as it comes to me, so check out this page frequently. If you have any questions, I am in the lab usually from 9-11 M-Th, 9-10&12-1 F

I would like to hear from all of you before lab time to find out how things are going. If you need to reach me for anything you can email me.
