Neighborhood 50 Project List 2020

Create a PowerPoint presentation with pictures you have taken of each of the following taxa. Produce one slide per item. Download the free app Seek by INaturalist [https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/seek_app ] on to your phone to aid in identification. Many taxa are purposefully broad to allow flexibility, i.e. “Maple” can include any of the maple species present in our area-do your best to identify the species of which you have taken an image. Do not use domesticated plant or animal species (I’m not interested in corn, squash, dogs, etc.) This project will be due by 5pm  Friday, November 13.  “Wild Card” items are taxa that you run across while out and about that you want to include-they can be plants or animals.  Presentations are to start with a cover slide that has your name. For students in Europe, Asia, or Central/South America use your local plants and animals—use same number of plants and animals as listed below.
