are completing one of the nine <a href=\"https:\/\/vividscience.org\/index.php\/online-envirobio\/outcomes\/#\">learning outcome<\/a> sections of your final portfolio.\u00a0 This way you will know how to assemble the remaining eight sections well before the due date Wednesday evening of finals week\/week 11.\u00a0 For this assignment, you are selecting a substantial amount of your course work (quiz answers, media pieces) to match one of the nine learning outcomes.\u00a0 This is two or more examples of work for a single outcome, such as a full media piece and quiz response, or multiple thoroughly written quiz responses.<\/h6>\n<h6>Here are the steps:<\/h6>\n<h6>1.\u00a0 Look over the nine learning outcome sections you need to populate with your personal work for the final portfolio (written above and also explained in videos in <a href=\"https:\/\/vividscience.org\/index.php\/online-envirobio\/organisms\/animals\/characteristics\/#\">Guide 4B<\/a>).<\/h6>\n<h6>2.\u00a0 Review the work you have already completed (media pieces and quiz responses).<\/h6>\n<h6>3.\u00a0 Decide which of the nine learning outcomes you already have enough work to fill (two or more pieces of original work).<\/h6>\n<h6>4. Using the format you have selected for your final portfolio, write the title of the learning outcome you have selected (science concept, biology skill, etc.), add two or more pieces of your original work that you believe demonstrates your achievement of that outcome, and add a caption explaining why you think your work fits within that learning outcome.\u00a0 The caption can go right after the learning outcome title and before the pieces of work you are including.<\/h6>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <div  data-lazy=\"1\"

in building the final portfolio.\u00a0 You will be populating one of the nine outcome sections of your choice, so part of your portfolio will already be completed.<\/h5>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Begin this Guide's media assignment here<\/h3>\n<h3>Portfolio Update<\/h3> <h6>In this portfolio update, you are completing one of the nine <a href=\"https:\/\/vividscience.org\/index.php\/online-envirobio\/outcomes\/#\">learning outcome<\/a> sections of your final portfolio.\u00a0 This way you will know how to assemble the remaining eight sections well before the due date Wednesday evening of finals week\/week 11.\u00a0 For this assignment, you are selecting a substantial amount of your course work (quiz answers, media pieces) to match one of the nine learning outcomes.\u00a0 This is two or more examples of work for a single outcome, such as a full media piece and quiz response, or multiple thoroughly written quiz responses.<\/h6> <h6>Here are the steps:<\/h6> <h6>1.\u00a0 Look over the nine learning outcome sections you need to populate with your personal work for the final portfolio (written above and also explained in videos in <a href=\"https:\/\/vividscience.org\/index.php\/online-envirobio\/organisms\/animals\/characteristics\/#\">Guide 4B<\/a>).<\/h6> <h6>2.\u00a0 Review the work you have already completed (media pieces and quiz responses).<\/h6> <h6>3.\u00a0 Decide which of the nine learning outcomes you already have enough work to fill (two or more pieces of original work).<\/h6> <h6>4. Using the format you have selected for your final portfolio, write the title of the learning outcome you have selected (science concept, biology skill, etc.), add two or more pieces of your original work that you believe demonstrates your achievement of that outcome, and add a caption explaining why you think your work fits within that learning outcome.\u00a0 The caption can go right after the learning outcome title and before the pieces of work you are including.<\/h6>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/biotas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/shutterstock_252785491-1.jpg\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" title=\"6a1 Marine Life\" alt=\"6a1 Marine Life\">\n<h6>You are turning in a completed part of your final portfolio; one of the nine requirements (the intro page will not be made until Module 10):<\/h6> <ul> <li> <h6>Use the format your final portfolio will be in.\u00a0 For example, this may be a slide, a handmade journal page, a webpage, or whatever format you are using.<\/h6> <\/li> <li> <h6>Label the page\/slide with which learning outcome is being met (for example: biology concept; science skills; or environmental biology connection).<\/h6> <\/li> <li> <h6>Along with your work (two or more pieces) fulfilling the requirement, include a caption that states how your work matches this particular requirement.\u00a0 For example, if you made a painting of a clump of moss to teach about these plants, you could state how your painting was an example of an environmental biology connection.<\/h6> <\/li> <\/ul> <h6>\u00a0<\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Here is an example of how an outcome can be represented.\u00a0 This is \"Science Concepts,\" and I have used my Patterns in Nature media piece (hexagonal shapes in a wasp hive) and captioned photos of scat (indirect evidence) from a hike to represent achievement of this outcome.\u00a0 The first row is pages from my journal; the second row is a similar version using powerpoint slides, to show that you can use different portfolio formats.\u00a0 The background grids and labels are royalty-free digital files I found online, they were just added so I would be more likely to enjoy looking back at these pages in the future.<\/p>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/biotas.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-22-at-12.35.33-PM.png\" width=\"2866\" height=\"772\" title=\"6a1 Marine Life\" alt=\"6a1

style=\"text-align: left;\">Earlier in the course you utilized a handmade quadrat to sample a portion of a population.\u00a0 In aquatic systems like the ocean or a river, using a quadrat can be challenging as the organisms may be moving quickly from one location to another.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Nets are often used to collect aquatic species.\u00a0 If you pull a fine net like this through water, small organisms are collected in a tube at the bottom.\u00a0 In aquatic ecosystems, the majority of the organisms are quite small, many are microscopic.<\/p>\n<img
