 * Zooplankton Profiles DueWednesday, December 11th **

You are going to create a Bio- for a specific zooplankton species of your choice. The zooplankton you choose may be planktonic its entire lifespan or for only a portion of its life. The profile should consist of similar information that you would find on a person’s facebook or twitter page, describing specific details of its life and daily activities. Once you have the required information about your zooplankton you may then add your own creative twist to the profile.

You may choose to present your information in a variety of ways: poster, book, newspaper add (i.e. personals section) or a facebook/twitter lay-out. If you have a different idea just clear it by me first.

To choose a species, the following website will be helpful. However, you are not limited to this list and I can further help you choose your zooplankton.
