Marine Biology Web-Assignment, Biology 150
Help create an informative website all about marine life.
Choose an oceanic animal to study. Find 2-3 reliable references and write a
short, interesting description of the organism. Your textbook is a great place
to start, and the Skyline College
library website will offer further useable references. Since this is a web-based
project, your text and any pictures you find (you must ask permission to use
photos found on the web) should be directly emailed to me at Snitovsky@smccd.net.
Text should be written in a professional, collegial manner. Introduce your audience
to a few new terms. Give the scientific name as well as the common name for
the species you choose. The length of the article should be 500-700 words. Include
2-3 good, informative, reliable links in a section entitled “For further
information”
Divide your text into several short paragraphs, each with a short, catchy sub-heading.
If you are proficient at html, you may email me the html page.The following
questions should give you an idea of the information you should include.
1. Where does the animal live?
2. What does the animal look like?
3. Does the animal migrate?
4. What does your animal eat?
Required: Two web pages on two different animals, 5 points each. You must choose
two animals from two separate phyla (ie, a fish and a mammal—NOT 2 fish
or 2 mammals)
Optional: Two additional web pages on two additional animals, 5 points extra
credit each.
