Biology Kingdom Book



Classification of Life Book: Biology Project 2011 – Book is Due on Monday the 9th of January!!!!

Goals:

1. To create a book describing the characteristics that make each Kingdom unique.

2. To demonstrate an understanding of how prokaryotes and eukaryotes differ.

3. To demonstrate an understanding of the structure, reproduction, and physiology of viruses, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals.

Procedure: This will be in book form. What is needed on each page is described below. We will break it into three sessions. The first two days will be spent working on the following pages. Day three will be spent working on plants and day four working on animals.
