Who can complete this activity?
This activity was designed for students in 9th through 12th grade in a zoology, marine science, environmental science, or biology course; however, the language is simple and concise enough that it could easily be used in a 7th or 8th grade science course. This activity is designed to take around 15 to 20 minutes to complete.
