The Protist Kingdom:
Mainly single-celled, eukaryotic organisms
Some scientists call this the "Junk Drawer" Kingdom because this is where many organisms are placed when they don't know how else to categorize them!
While looking at the pond water in class, determine which protist you and your lab partner observe under the microscope. Together, you will research more information about your protist and create a Paper Slide Video (like the one Mrs. Dokken made about Science Bucks). You will show your video to the class as a final project. Below are the requirements for the video. The rubric can be found in the file cabinet.
With your lab partner, make your video colorful and creative, but also keep it informative and detailed.
20 points
Requirements:
- Name of organism
- Size of the organism
- How does the organism obtain energy? (Eat, make own food)
- How does it move?
- Where is it located (under rocks, bottom of pond, surface of ponds?)
- How does it reproduce?
- One extra interesting fact about your protist :)
You must include at least one picture of your protist!
At least 3 sources (internet, book, etc.) must be used and cited for your project.
Go to the "file cabinet" to see the grade rubric!
