The updates for this week are:
We moved rooms this week, upstairs to #201, which was an interesting change! On Monday, we finished up our unit on Plants by taking a Quiz. We started our next unit, on Invertebrates, by doing a quick worksheet on the different Invertebrate phyla. We continued the introduction to Invertebrates today by going through approximately twenty slides on PowerPoint on Sponges and Jellyfish--the first two animal phyla in the students' textbook. We then worked on a lab that looked at specimens of these two phyla under the microscope. Most students finished this in class, but they are welcome to take the lab home to finish if they did not, for 20 points. They will need to know each animal phylum that we study over the next few chapters, and the main vocabulary and features specified in the labs and slides--NOT so much the textbook which goes into too much detail in various places. Chapter 15 homework will be due on Monday, Feb 5. Please don't forget the vocabulary work! It either needs to be written/typed, or put on cards to turn in during class.
