Hammock 2
I. Gigapan
This lesson uses Rocky Point Hammock (now named Maggy's Hammock Park) as its core. Let's go there and explore the Gigapan showing the hammock looking down a trail. The snapshots have narrated slideshows. If necessary, review the lesson on how to navigate a Gigapan. Zoom in, pan around, explore the snapshots with their recorded slideshows.

II. Snapshot Information and Images
Go to the maroon menu bar and click on Lesson 9 to get the fly-out menu entitled "Hammock 2 Snapshot Information and Images" for the words and images contained in the Gigapan snapshots.
III. Reference Photos
Go to the maroon menu bar above and click on Lesson 9 to get the fly-out menu entitled "Hammock 2 Reference Photos" for a set of photos to help you identify what you find in a hammock.
IV. Field Trip
If you have not gone yet, go explore a hammock habitat. Note: If you took a hammock field trip for Part 1 (Lesson 8) you are not expected to go a second time for Part 2 (Lesson 9). But never a bad idea! A list of suggested sites is found on the tab in the maroon menu bar after Lesson 16.
Take pictures of ten scrub plants you identify. A total of ten species photos to cover both scrub lessons is adequate. Remember: put the photos in a Word doc and send it to us. Please do not send photos as separate e-mail attachments.
