Directions:

 * Go to the following site: @http://www.fws.gov/endangered/. On the left click on the link that reads Laws, Policies and Federal Register Notices. Scroll down and in the center of the page, click on “The Endangered Species Act.” On that page, look at the Endangered Species Act, History, the Glossary, Overview, etc. Remember that Acrobat files are available for you under “Class Resources.”
 * Now go to @http://www.fws.gov/endangered/wildlife.html by typing in the address or clicking on “Threatened and Endangered Wildlife and Plants” from the previous page. This page will help you answer many of the research questions on your data sheet. Click on different topics on this page and answer the research questions on your sheet. Choose an endangered or threatened species to research more.
 * Should the government links not work, as they so frequently do not, please go to “Class Resources” to find saved webpages. Thanks.
