WARNING: only one swim cap per student...don't mess up!! This will be graded for anatomical correctness. You'll also have an opportunity to earn some extra credit by wearing your swim cap to each of your classes and having your teachers sign a verification form that you wore it for at least 15 minutes of each class. Sometimes it is helpful to put it on your lab partner's head and then you can draw the outlines of the needed parts on the left and right sides. You can take it off to draw in the details. 1.
