Alternatively, you may print out the lab at home and answer the questions there and turn in via photos/scan. Whatever works for you! If you type into the document, please try make your answers un-bold or a different but readable color. Please make sure to read all of the directions carefully! I don’t have them there to look pretty – but to help guide you! Please answer questions in complete sentences. In this Virtual Field Trip, we will visit the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary of California, and review the physical characteristics and marine life found in this protected area. We will also investigate some of the environmental issues of the area, and how we might mitigate (solve) these issues. Note: Some of the live cams are only on 7am-7pm Pacific time. This may be a difficult middle of the night assignment to do. *This is a modified version of a field trip adapted from Jennifer Nelson, Indiana University, Purdue University.
