Phase One - Research:
First we need a clear understanding of the biological phyla
What are the characteristics of each phyla?
Use the resources to help you classify insects, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals under their proper phyla and gather information
Use the electronic note cards to gather information for your research report.
Create a chart to compare/contrast these creatures as to how they:
- Take care of gas exchange
- Raise their young
- Defend themselves
- Get rid of nitrogenous wastes
- Move
You will also cover
- the circulatory systems
- the design of the heart
- What makes each group unique?
Gather some images to illustrate your final project
Phase Two - Research Report:
First:
- Once you have gathered all of your information, it is time to organize your note cards in a logical fashion, making sure you have answered each of your research questions.
Next:
- Download the Research Report template and save it in your folder.
- Use Thesis Builder to help you create a thesis statement to use in the introduction to your research report.
- Copy and paste your thesis statement into the Research Report Template (Introduction page) and complete your introduction.
- Follow the instructions on each page of the template to complete your research report.
- Use EasyBib to guide you in creating your bibliography.
Then
- Use the Arms Revision Process to revise your text as needed.
- Use the Revision Checklist to be sure you have covered the basics.
- Make corrections as needed in your template.
Finally
- After a few days, go back and proofread your report and make corrections in grammar, sentence structure, spelling, capitalization and punctuation.
