Photography Objectives
Science Photos
Describe different ways photographs have been, and are currently used, in science.
Photography Basics
Apply photographic principles to capture information about animal structures and behaviors.
Arthropods
List the characteristics of arthropods and provide examples of crustaceans, insects, and arachnids.
Homemaking
Provide examples of animal homes, including their construction, architecture, and impacts on animal survival.
Beavers
List characteristics of beavers, including their structures, behaviors, and role as a keystone species that impact ecosystems.
Photography Quiz
Quiz Directions
Complete all five sections and take the quiz on Canvas.
Use the learning outcomes above to guide your studying.
Photography Media Piece
Introduced in Science Photos section of this guide:
In this media assignment you are taking photos as a form of data to go along with the written information in media piece 3B.
You are collecting data to answer:
-
What is the population size?
-
How is the population distributed?
-
Is there evidence of interactions within the population and/or interactions of the population with other species?
Capture data on the population with photos to address these three research questions, using different perspectives: first impression, ground view, eye-level view, overhead view (if applicable), and final impression.
These photos will tell the story of your experience at your research location and answer the research questions.
Upload to Canvas photos that address the three research questions (population size, population distribution, population interactions). Take these photos from different perspectives that give a sense of:
-
first impression (could be a panorama or wide shot)
-
ground-level view (may need to get on the ground to take photo)
-
eye-level view (standing or chair height)
-
overhead view (gives an idea of weather or cover)
-
and final overall impression (could be a favorite photo)
Be safe, travel with others if possible, and minimize impact to organisms and their environments.
Media Piece Directions
This is the third of three data collection media pieces..
Upload your photos to Canvas.

Portfolio Directions
To be completed after the quiz and media piece are graded on Canvas.
