Marine Life PowerPoint Project
Now that we've learned how to use PowerPoint, we are going to work on a project that will test your skills. You will be completing one PowerPoint slide that tells all about a marine plant or animal that you have chosen to research.
The first thing you will do is complete your research using the research guide.
Open the Research Guide using one of these links: 
Be sure to fill in all the information carefully. Save as many pictures of your animal as you can find while you are doing your research. You should save these in the My Pictures folder.
