For this project, you will select 12 species of protists and fungi. (3 protozoa, 3 algae, 3 molds and 3 fungi).
Booklet: 14 PAGES MINIMUM
For each species, provide the following:
1) The scientific name
2) A diagram showing accurate colors of the organism with all its parts labeled.  This must be neat!
3) An illustration or image of the usual habitat or environment where each organism may be found.  No sloppy drawings!
4) 5 interesting facts about each organism
5) An explanation of how the organism reproduces
6) How each organism is either beneficial or harmful to humans
7) Must have a finished look (nothing sloppy)
You may have a partner for this project (2 people only). You will have 10 days total to work on this project when you return from Spring Break. This is a 600 point project. Points will be taken off if all requirements are not met.​
