Biology Project- Fairchild Challenge 3- EXTRA CREDIT
Will earn you a test pass (where you take a test and if you score poorly, you get to use the pass to excuse the test) Due Date: Monday December 2, 2019 What will you have to do? Create an educational board game that increases the probability that seed dispersers and pollinators transport seeds and pollen across developed areas of pine rocklands. Background: Pine rocklands, one of the world’s most imperiled ecosystems, once spanned across more than 120,000 acres. Currently, there are less than 2% of the pine rockland ecosystem outside of Everglades National Park much of which exists only as fragmented parcels. Fairchild’s Connect to Protect Network is a conservation program geared towards improving gene flow and genetic health of native plant species by connecting these remaining isolated patches. Make sure to include the following: o Board game that fits the description above (of a pine rockland ecosystem with a native plant species and a pollinator/seed dispersal as the goal of the game).
Videos about pine rock lands-
Some Plant Species found in pine rock lands: Saw Palmetto, Bracken Fern, Muhly Grass, Dodder Vine, Poisonwood, Pineland Croton, Blazing Star etc.

Challenge 1: Conservation Photography - Developing a Call to Action
For Individuals or Groups (2 students per group) YOUR CHALLENGE: Photographs are a powerful tool that draw attention to a complex problem and convey a message through storytelling. Students will investigate South Florida environmental issues through photojournalism. In partnership with the National Wildlife Federation’s Young Reporters for the Environment program, students will submit a photograph and description that captures the visual representation of the natural environment. DUE: Wednesday, October 8, 2019 · Photograph · Description · Bibliography RUBRIC Hi everyone, below you can see a variety of websites you may use for your project...

Disease Project
o https://www.emaze.com o http://www.flipsnack.com o You can create a blog/web page on your animal (tumbler.com or weebly.com) o You can also create a video presentation of your animal (you can use iMovie or movie maker), once complete upload to youtube then email me the link. o You can use another web based presentation tool, just make sure to get it approved by the teacher. Topics to Research and Include in Your Report/Rubric: As you complete your virtual report, try to answer as many of the following questions as you can- 1- Introduction (10 pts)
2- History of the Disease (10 pts)
3- Who is affected by this disease? (10 pts) · Age group, gender, cultural group who is most at risk or affected by this disease and why? · Include a picture with this part 4- Symptoms (8 pts)
5- Pathology (10 pts)
6- Cure/Treatments for the disease? (8pts)
7- What causes the disease? (10 pts)
8- How is a person’s daily life affected by the disease? (10 pts) · Walk us through the life of a person who has the disease. What do they go through, what medications/help do they need? What are some things they can’t do as a result of this? · Include a picture related to this topic. 9- Number of people affected by this disease. (8 pts)
10- Treatment Centers/Medical Research (10 pts)

2- Anatomy/Appearance (7 pts)
3- Locomotion (7 pts) · Can your animal move? If so, how does your animal move (does it walk, fly, jump, burrow, etc.)? Is it slow-moving or fast-moving? Why is this important to its survival? For example, most fast-moving animals are fast so that they can catch dinner (like the cheetah) or avoid becoming dinner (like the deer). · Include a picture/video- preferably related to your animal’s locomotion. 4- Diet (7 pts)
5- Habitat and Range (7 pts)
6- Adaptations (7 pts)
7- Life Cycle/Reproduction (7 pts)
8- Behavior (7 pts)
9- Defense/Offense (7 pts)
