Your turn! Pick a plant or animal that you are interested in. Make a computer
generated presentation using Powerpoint or Keynote about how its traits help its
survival in its environment. Your presentation should be at least ten slides and should
include the following:
* Description of the traits of the plant or animal
* Description of the environment where the plant or animal lives
* Explanation of how the species traits help the plant or animal survive in its
environment
* Two pictures (at minimum) of the species in its environment
