History of oceans trading cards September 30, 2009
Create 5 trading cards for famous oceanographers. They can be past or present. They should be on a 3x5 index card and should include a small picture if you can find one. It should include a short listed biography of major accomplishments and contributions. You can make them like baseball cards with stats and averages, or Pokemon cards with HP points and moves or any other type of collectible card you would like. Have fun.
