Halloween Tombstone Project!Project Goal: Students will create individual tombstones marking the lives and achievements of leading scientists and innovators in Biology. Together, these tombstones will form a classroom graveyard.Instructions: You will choose a scientist or innovator that has made a contribution to the field of Biology (something related to the subjects we have/are going to cover in class). Then you will create an aesthetically pleasing (nice-looking) tombstone complete with the following information (written correctly):
- Name of scientist/innovator (GOOGLE FORM TO SELECT A SCIENTIST)
- Nationality/Birthplace
- Date of birth
- Date of death (if they aren't dead you can put ???, ..., TBD or some other indication of uncertainty)
- At least three facts about her/his achievements
- These can include discoveries, inventions, awards, or achievements as related to the field of Biology.
- Epitaph (a brief piece of prose commemorating the deceased; can be a single sentence)
- Illustrations/Pictures of both the scientist and at least 2 images of their work.
- **Must include 2 references/websites for collected information on the back of your tombstone in MLA format**
- Must be on thick poster board (not the paper version that will curl), foam board, cardboard, or some other sturdy material
- Facts should be handwritten - not printed out
- Writing should be legible
- Spelling and grammar will be graded
- Illustrations/Pictures don't have to be in color
- Size - must be at least as large as examples shown in class
- Must be decorated in a way that is inspired by the scientist being covered
- You may buy decorations but not a prefab tombstone
Timeline:- Scientist must be picked and approved by teacher by __________
- Your scientist must be unique (approval will be on a first come first served basis) and can either be dead or still living
- Tombstone must be turned in at the beginning of class on ___________
- Everyday it is late after that will deduct 10 points and it will not be accepted after _________
