Dear Science Students,

 It is time to start thinking about Earth Day. We will be celebrating Earth Day at OLPH on April 14, 2011. In order to “create” Texas Our Texas in our gym, each student is being asked to “create” a life size model of a native Texas animal.   Your animal is due no later than April 13, 2011. This project will count as 2 test grades in the 4th nine weeks. Be creative. You may use any method. Make this a family week-end project. But most of all have fun.

Project requirements:

1 life-size model of a Texas animal

Must be out of recycled items.

1 Fact Card (Common Name, Scientific Name, 4 facts, picture of animal)

Due Date - No later than April 13, 2011

 

Example:

1. Scientific Name: Eurycea nana

2. Common Name: San Marcos Salmander

3. Facts:

1.  The slender-bodied San Marcos salamander is about 6 centimeters

(2.4 inches) long and displays a prominent gill fringe behind the head. 

              2.  It is light brown above with a row of pale flecks on either side of the

              3.  The large eyes have a dark ring around the lens.
