Overview Scientists conduct research and share their results with a designated audience. As a part of this process, they typically collaborate with others as they proceed with their research. Students will work as a team. They will select a plant or animal known to live in the Gulf of Maine. They will research the natural history of their selected topic, including its place in the food web, and the importance of a balanced ecosystem for its survival. Students will use WIKI technology to conduct and document their research. They will share the results of their research through their WIKI site and by creating their own "X Fish experience" to share with a designated audience.
