2021-22 - Classification of Endangered Species: Day One: Explore

Exploration of Potential Topics

Exploration Purpose: Use the time to explore a number of species and learn enough information to make an educated choice when selecting a topic for this project. If you remain open to the exploration process, we hope you encounter an organism that truly engages your curiosity. 

Learning Targets: 

Today I will explore the IUCN Red List, so that I can find endangered organisms that are interesting to me. I will know I'm successful when I complete the notes on two organisms before selecting one organism as the focus of my project.
