Biological Scavenger Hunt

Your assignment is to catalogue 20 of the biological items on the following list during the summer. Your grade will be the point value of the items you collect. Although this assignment is an 80-point assignment, you would be better off collecting MORE than 80 points worth of things to allow for some things not meeting requirements. To prove that youve seen the items, you must submit either; A photograph of the object with a picture of you or your thumb by it, or A signed hand-drawn image of the object in its found location, or A newspaper or magazine article that has that object as its primary subject, or An internet article/image of the organism (limited to 2 submissions maximum).

Every organism submitted must be labeled with the properly-formatted scientific name and the location of the organism. For example, a dog in the Quadrangle of BHS would be labeled as Canis familiaris; 1650 Kaahumanu Ave, Kahului. Newspaper and magazine articles must include a correct APA citation for the article and the article must have been written during the summer (June to August 2013). You may find how to cite in APA format on the OWL website: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

CAUTIONS: Never touch plants or animals with exposed fingers. Avoid touching the organisms but if you must, use gloves and/or forceps. Remember, we don't want to deplete the environment. Dont kill organisms. Organisms should be photographed or drawn in their native habitat. An example of this blog (though without locations and scientific names) can be found here: http://apbio12008.blogspot.com/.

You have several options for turning in this assignment. You may: 1. Submit it as a packet of drawings, photos, articles, etc., with a TABLE OF CONTENTS indicating which term each item fulfills. OR2. Submit photos via email with an attached table of contents & list description. Please make sure your photo files are labeled and correspond with your table of contents.

Specimen List: Below are the items you are to collect. An individual organism can only be used once. Humans are acceptable for one category only. You may use internetbased images for no more than 2 of these items. Grade breakdown: 1 point for each specimen, 1 point for each scientific name, 1 point for location 1 point for an explanation of why this specimen represents its label. 1.adaptation of an animal 2. adaptation of a plant 3. abscisic acid 4. actin 5. amniotic egg 6. amylase 7. angiosperm 8. animal that has a segmented body 9. annelid 10. anther & filament of stamen 11. arthropod 12. archaebacteria 13. autotroph 14. auxin producing area of a plant 15. basidiomycete 16.
