YOUR RESEARCH ROLE, ART/HISTORY EXPERT:

See your Note Taking Guide below.  Print it out now!  Please use it as you 
gather information.

Everyone first goes to the three websites linked here for every team 
member to see.  View these websites together if possible.   

After that, your job is to gather information on artistic and historical 
interest in radiolarians.  You are responsible for collecting data 
and images for your topic.  

Do that by exploring the websites for your topic linked below.  

Make sure to use the Note Taking Guide for the Art/History Expert (see 
below).  


Choose at least:
>> four facts 
>> three images
that will support your recommendation, and share them in your group meeting.  

Note:  The slide presentation MUST include a list of sources used.  See the 
SAMPLE SLIDE on the "Files for You" page for an example.  Go to the 
Easybib.com website, linked below, for help in creating a bibliography.

WEBSITES FOR YOU TO VISIT:

"Radiolarians.”  This is the first of THREE WEBSITES FOR EVERY GROUP MEMBER 
TO SEE BEFORE THEIR OWN RESEARCH.  
What are radiolarians?  Did you know they were found in the stones of the 
Egyptian pyramids?  Learn the basics about “rads” here.
http://oceanlink.island.net/oinfo/radiolarians/radiolarian.html
“How the SEM Works”  This is the second of THREE WEBSITES FOR EVERY GROUP 
MEMBER TO SEE BEFORE THEIR OWN RESEARCH.  
Click on “Self-Paced Tour” and go through the self-directed slide show to 
understand what it takes to use a scanning electron microscope.
http://www.mos.org/sln/SEM/works.html
“Animal Images”   This is the third of THREE WEBSITES FOR EVERY GROUP MEMBER 
TO SEE BEFORE THEIR OWN RESEARCH.  
Check out the radiolarians using different powers of the scanning electron 
microscope.  This website has other good information you should also know 
about radiolarians.
http://www.mos.org/sln/SEM/gallery/archive/animals.html
“Ernst Haeckel: Die Radiolarien (RHIZOPODA RADIARIA) Berlin, 1862”
Radiolaria were “hot” in 1862 after Ernst Haeckel published his research.  
These are the exquisite, historically important 35 copper plates that were in 
his book.  Check out the warning about viewing and opening different size 
scans on this page.
