For this project you will make a creation that will present information on a topic of biology. You will have

several options to choose from but will be able to choose a creation not on the provided list.

You can either make a:

• Comic strip

This project will be independent and you will present it via zoom with your designated lab section. The

last week of classes you will meet with your lab section and instructor and demonstrate your creation.

Your mini-presentation will be between two and five minutes. During your presentation you will talk

about your creation and how it demonstrates the topic you covered.

To choose your topic, pick three topic and then email your lab instructor who will check off on one of

the topics. Email your lab instructor at least two weeks before you present. Once you have your topic

should be specific and easily conveyed through your project.
