Ecology Powerpoint/Poster/Scrapbook Marking Period Project
Congratulations! Your work as a leading ecologist in your field has earned you the prestigious opportunity to be part of the President’s effort to increase environmental awareness, reduce human impact on the environment, and advance efforts for the United States to “Go Green.” You may work alone or with a partner on this marking period project. You may choose to do a powerpoint, poster, or scrapbook. The details of your assignment are found below.
You have plenty of time to do this and will be given some class time to work on it. If you have any questions or do not understand something, ask me sooner than later! I am here to help you succeed.
