Description:

A study of the life histories, ecology, evolution, taxonomy, and behavior of the vertebrates. Emphasis is placed upon groups of local importance. Included will be methods of research, collecting techniques, and preservation of specimens. During this learning experience students have the option of an in-depth study of either the birds or the mammals in addition to the study of the entire vertebrate group.

The in-depth analysis of one of the two groups will require field study, collection of specimens, and a hypothesis driven research project which may be used to fulfill the capstone learning experience in science.
