BIOLOGY SEPTEMBER PROJECT Ms. Parrott 02-03

Biology is the study of living things, and there are an endless amount of careers that deal with it. Research a biological career and present it on one 8"x11" sheet of paper. The report should be typed/word processed and include the following for full credit:

/5 the name of the biological career in large font

/5 the job description of the scientist (tell in detail what they do and why it's Biology, no less than 5 sentences)

/5 education or pertinent training needed to be successful in this career

/5 the contributions of scientists in this career to human needs/5 a color picture of the career/item related to their field of study

/5 Place your name and a bibliography on the back of your paper.

/5 ONE typed page

This project is worth 35 points and is due Friday September 3, 2002. I suggest you start your research now, for many of these careers might not be easy to find.

Some places to look for information are: your textbook, counseling office, library and the internet:

Two online sources that may be of help are:
