HOMEWORK:INVERTEBRATES ANIMAL PHYLUM CHART

In Bio today, we.....
1) We wrote down the animal of the day: Axolotol, and its in the Amphibia class.
2) We talked about Phylums, in the kingdom chart (no notes!). You would read the phylum chart by reading the animal name, then looking at the other animals branch off of it.
3)We worked on a green sheet about different types of invertabrates and they're types of locomotion, and unique characterists, etc. (It has to do with phylums) The pages are in chapter 26.1, but its easier to go to the apendix at the back of the book, 30-45. Thats the homework.
4)Also, with that chart, we learned about symmetry (Bilateral, radial)
5) We also took out leeches and...*shudder* cockroaches. Mr. Paek dropped a leech....twice. Also, a millipede was also taken out, but it wasnt that interesting.....

And thats it.

Announcements: The Evolution Test Is On FRIDAY!! and Tomorrow is a Bio Day in the Lyceum.

Homework: STUDY FOR THE TEST!! Finish up Lab 40 from the lab book. The Objectives on page 1 in the UP are extra credit. The TV ad project has been moved back, it is now due on Tuesday, March 1st.

Today: In class today Mr. Paek gave us some more things that we needed to study.

• We should know UP 33-36 and how to read the graphs on those pages, along with knowing about natural selection, the time eras and the Neanderthals.

• After this, we took a practice quiz with Mr. Paek to get an idea on how well we are prepared for the test. Then he answered any last minute questions we had. Don't worry though, it was a class quiz and it wasn't for any credit.

• Then, we started lab 40, which involved measuring the lengths of dead grasshoppers femur bones so that we could observe variations in a species. Then we shared our class information and made a graph and finished the lab.

• Remember to study for the test and that tomorrow is a Bio Day! Thats what we did today in class.

• Tomorrows scriber is Will!!

Hellooo period 8 Bio-ers! Here is a recap on what happened today.

1) Mr. Paek talked about a new project: A post card to sent to your technology hating grandma Gurtrude about a new virus epidemic (you choose what one) and send a post card telling her how to prevent it. Look on UP page 2 for more information.

2)We finished the bacteria lab that we started last Friday by checking the petri dishes and seeing the growth of the bacteria that grew. According to some people, it smelled bad....but whatever. Then you finished the remaining questions about the lab.
