How to use this slide show• The organisms in the slide show follow the same order as the
MEE Species List and Species Identification CompanionGuide (SICG). These two documents may be downloadedfrom the Florida 4-H website. http://florida4h.org/
• As you view each organism, read the information provided inthe SICG. This information will help you learn how eachorganism can be identified for the MEE Sections 1, 2, and 3.
• The “Did You Know?” sections of the SICG provideinteresting information about some plants and animals. Thisinformation forms the basis of Section 4 in the MEE now calledthe “Natural History Scavenger Hunt.” NOTE: This replaces the“Habitat ID” section of the MEE. For more information refer tothe MEE Guidelines and Rules found on the 4-H website.
Section 3Marine and
Coastal Vertebrate ID
Use your MEE Species Identification CompanionGuide to learn more about the followingvertebrates and how to identify them.
