Step 1: After being taught about binomial nomenclature students will use digital cameras to take pictures of themselves and other organisms around them.

Step 2: Students will be asked to come up with a new self. Using photo editing software students can add their head onto the body of a bug, animal, or plant or vice versa.

Step 3: Students need to come up with a NEW scientific name for themselves. Like the scientific names of organisms the NEW scientific name might tell us where the student lives or describe a special talent of the student.
