Want
to explore nature and the biology of the Puget Sound
region while earning some extra credit? Go on a
biology scavenger hunt! A list of items or places
to visit is provided below. For each item or place
you visit, take a picture of YOU holding the item or
visiting the location. Then, organize the photo
results of your scavenger hunt in either a
PowerPoint presentation or a photo scrapbook. When
designing your photo presentation, next to each
photo please include the:
 |
title of the item from the
scavenger hunt list |
|
|
location
that the photograph was taken
|
A
list of potential places to visit during the
scavenger hunt is provided below. It is recommended
that you visit the website for each location before
you go. You just might get an idea of some of the
items from the scavenger hunt list that you will be
able to find at that location! Visiting one place
may allow you to “check off” and earn points for
multiple items on the list!
The
following rules apply to the Scavenger Hunt and
should be followed throughout the collecting:
|
|
Please take care in NOT
DESTROYING any habitats as you collect or
visit. |
|
|
Plants that have red spots or
red areas on the stem or leaf may be
poisonous-DO NOT TOUCH!
|
|
|
Collect specimens carefully.
Do not remove any item from the habitat in
which it is found. That means you must take
your picture in the field, not bring the
item home with you to photograph. However,
some items may be found in your home, in
which case it is OK to photograph them
there. |
|
|
A photograph of you with an
item from the list can only count once. For
example, if you take a picture with a
mushroom, that picture can be used for
either MUSHROOM or FUNGUS, but not both.
|
|
|
When photographing, you may
want to keep a written index of what items
are shown in which photograph for later
reference. |
|
|
You may work with your
friends, lab partners, parents or siblings,
but you'll have to do your research
beforehand -- use your book, internet or
library references to determine what the
specimen is and where to find it!
