Advanced
Biology Invertebrate Comparison Project
Each student and/or group of students (MAXIMUM of THREE students per group) will make a PowerPoint presentation about one of the systems listed below. The presentation will trace the development and changes in that system through each invertebrate group. The project will be worth 200 points and will be due on April 19, 2002 (no later than 3:30 p.m.). We will have at least three days in the computer lab (April 8, 9, and 10) to work on this project. Any additional work will need to be done on your own time. The grading criteria for the project will be on the next page.
