This Wiki is a place for you to collaborate with your peers to complete your research into your characteristic of a living thing. You may plan, share and present your findings on this site. The way you present your findings is really no different to how you present it normally except that your peers can quickly and effectively help you on the wiki-you can really work together. Presenting your information on a wiki also means that you are sharing your work with the rest of the **world.** That's a big responsibility so make sure you **work together**. For your first Wiki project, you and your expert group have been given a page that is yours to edit.
