Example project (using option 1 on guidelines)
Please note that with this example, I did not make my own drawing. You must make your own drawing! However, the text that I wrote uses lots of vocabulary, defines it, and tells us a lot about the organism. Detail like this is what will earn you the maximum amount of points for this project!

Project Resources
The following sites are just a recommendation of where to begin your research. You may use any source, but keep it academic and credible. (For example, when you search on google, put "site:.edu" at the end of your search. It will return only results from universities. These sites will be very, very technical! They are not easy reading!) Do not use sites like Yahoo answers, Answers.com, etc. Wikipedia is a great place to find other sources and to start your research! But, as with any source, be sure to find other sources that confirm each other.
