STEP 1 : Open and make a copy of this Extremophiles Activity.
STEP 2: Complete the first task of categorizing the types of extremophiles.
STEP 3: Advance to the Molecular Biologist Challenge! Your mission begins on slide 13 of the file linked above – make a Yellowstone Extremophiles educational activity!
STEP 4: Use the checklist and be sure to complete everything on slide 14.
STEP 5: Share your Yellowstone Extremophiles activity in the Student Showcase to build your resume as a Molecular Biologist!
STEP 6: BONUS – email your activity to someone who works at Yellowstone National Park – maybe they will hire you for real!
