LEVEL III Replacement Projects:
Even the penguins are dancing for joy!
Everyone has the opportunity to make up one entire unit of missed work, by completing a Level III project.
What is a Level III Project?
Level III projects are a way for you to show that you clearly understand an Earth Science/or Environmental Science process that we have learned this semester. Everyone is a composite of different intelligences: Naturalistic, Linguistic, Musical, Logical, Spatial, Intrapersonal, Interpersonal and Kinesthetic. Gardener, a dedicated research- educator and other’s scientist have studied this for many years.
LEVEL III Projects Q & A
What do I have to do?
1. Choose a rubric. These have been k-mailed to you, and are also located within your doc-share tab.
2. Read the directions on the rubric of your choice.

4. If you choose to create a model, you must take a photograph of YOU wonderful YOU, holding your creative genius! It may not just be your hands. This is to document it was your original work.
May I submit more than one Level III project? Generally only one Level III project will be accepted per student. However, if you make this request, it will be reviewed by your instructor and Biology Department on an individual basis.
Is this extra-credit work? No. The Level III projects are replacements for assignments or tests from any units prior to the one we are currently working on in Earth Science and Environmental Science.
How many points is the LEVEL III assignments worth? They are equal to 100 points.
