Species Cards |
22 Species Cards by King Middle School students |
70+ students at King Middle School in Portland, Maine worked together to build 22 species cards for the Vital Signs community! This was the culminating project for their spring Alien Invaders Expedition.
What incredible work! Check out the great Creative Commons-licensed photos they found, the detailed sketches they made, and the species research they did.
These cards will undergo an expert review process before appearing in our official library of species cards: http://vitalsignsme.org/species-identification-resources |
