Assignment Life Science Project Date ____________________________

Welcome to 7th grade Life Science Class! Your first project in this class will be to create some cool stuff to decorate our walls. Choose one of the projects below and show me how CREATIVE you are. If you need materials or have any questions, please see me.

Requirements:

❑ Project must be at least 8½" X 11" ( the size of a normal sheet of paper.) Please do not use lined notebook paper.

❑ You must have at least one picture and a well-formed paragraph of at least 5 complete sentences on your project.

❑ Project is ready and presented on time.

Choice 1: Think about your favorite thing and how it relates to Life Science. Then find a picture; it can be a photograph you took, cut out from a magazine or your own drawing. Then write a paragraph (at least 5 sentences) about your favorite thing and how it relates to Life Science. Your paragraph should describe your favorite thing, why it is your favorite thing and finally how it relates to our class.

Example: My favorite thing is my backpack. I love to go hiking and it carries everything that I need for a short hike. My backpack has to do with life science because it helps me enjoy nature. It also helps me observe living things better because it holds my binoculars, colored pencils and sketchbook. It also carries my water and snacks which keep me alive!

Choice 2: Explain what you think life science is all about. Again, you will need a picture either hand-drawn, or a photograph, and you will need to write a paragraph of at least 5 sentences explaining your ideas. The paragraph should describe what life science means to you and relate to the picture that you chose.

Example: To me, life science means animals. I have volunteered a lot to help animals and when I get older I want to be a veterinarian. Life science is all about living things and how to take care of them. It is a lot of hard work to make sure animals have the proper nutrition, places to live, and kindness. I am excited to learn more about how to care for animals this year.

Grading: (100 pts) You will be graded on the following criteria:

• Was your project related to life science?

• Was your picture appropriate to the topic?

• Was your paragraph at least 5 sentences long with correct spelling, punctuation and grammar?

• Was the paragraph written or typed neatly and easy to read?

• Was your presentation clear and did it adequately explain your project?
