Mammal Project

Information due Wednesday, November 10, 2004

Gather the information you need to classify your mammal and record it in your notebook. Animal:

Kingdom:

Phylum:

Class:

Order:

Family:

Genus/Species:

Gather the interesting facts and information about your mammal that you wish to use and record this in your notebook. Do not write a report. List your information. When it’s typed in class, it must fit on half a sheet of paper, and it should fill it up. Be selective. Get enough but not too much.

The rest of the project will be done in school, either during computer class or in Science class. You will get your picture and do your typing then. All research must be completed by the due date at home. You may use the internet or books or magazines. Your final project should resemble a science information card you might purchase about wild animals. It will count as a test grade.
