Find two new concepts (you do not have to read the whole thing) from Chapter 3 of The Beginners Guide to Constructing the Universe. Email me your findings (pictures, ideas, thoughts, etc.)

In class we will draw and learn a few principles of the equilateral triangle

OCEANOGRAPHY

Read, Physical Oceanography/ Biological Branch, pg. 25 - 28.  Study animals within one of the zones and choose a marine animal to do a report on. Use picture books or the internet or ask me, I have several books I’m willing to loan out.

In class we will go over last months experiments and review the zones

Write and prepare a report on the animal you chose.  You may hand write or type it and it may be as long or short as you want.    Include in your report:  the animal, unique characteristics, what vertical zone and horizontal zone he lives (see reading assignment), what he eats, why you chose this specific marine animal and what is God’s purpose for this creature?  You may use any visual aids you want.  You may present it any way you desire (lecture, interactive, demonstration, etc.) you will have 5 minutes only.  You will turn in your report to me.
