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.

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.
