Mammal Math Project 

Click here to start looking for species of mammals.  Each time you choose a mammal, wait for the picture to load, then scroll down to find the measurements.

Make a table to record your data.  Write the common names & the scientific names.  Don't forget to label the columns to reflect the choices you made.  Number the table down the side to reflect the number of mammals your teacher has told you to collect data on.

Make graphs showing the data you collected about mammals using string glued to a poster board.  Measure very carefully when you cut the string -- it is easy to make mistakes when you transfer data.  The x-axis should be labeled Mammal species, and the y-axis should be labeled for the chosen measurements you chose to collect.  Remember this is in cm.
