Assignment Question
For your Oceanography final project, take what we have discussed about the physical, chemical and biological properties of the ocean and design an invertebrate that has the adaptations necessary to thrive in a particular environment. Your invertebrate can be benthic, nektonic, planktonic or nektobenthic, and belong to any invertebrate group. This project encompasses three parts: a written portion, a 3D display and a 2 minute presentation. Below you will find the guidelines and requirements for the project. The written essay, 3D display and presentation will be due Wednesday, December 13 at 3:30 pm. You will present your projects during the exam time. This project is worth 146 points and is 22% of your final grade. The majority of the project should be done by you, with a small section where you can use AI.
Invertebrate Design:
Written Paper (81 points): Everything in this section must be included in the paper (minimum 3 pages). The paper must be typed, in paragraph form. 1. a. i. ii. iii. 2. a. i. ii. iii. 3. a. b. c. d. 4. a. b. i. ii. c. i. ii. d. i. this type of environment? e. i. found in this type of environment. f. i. g. 5. a. b. 6. a. studied? b. c. 7. a. b. 8. a. well. b. c. d. e. f. g.
3D Display (45 points): Now that you have put thought into the design of your invertebrate, make a 3D model. This can be done using arts and crafts, common household items, a computer model, etc. Be creative, just make sure it is 3D. The model does not have to be “life sized”, but make sure we can see it.
Presentation (20 points): You will have 2 minutes to present your invertebrate. Make sure to tell us the name of your invertebrate, its location, its adaptations and its evolutions. PowerPoint should not be used unless your model is on the computer.
