Monday and Tuesday we observed living protists and analyzed their features to discover more about how they are classified.
You should have at least 6 very detailed, labeled diagrams of what you observed in your journal. Wednesday is our day to wrap up our investigation.
For homework on Monday you should have read pages 218-227.
The chapter 6 test will be on Thursday. You should be preparing for it now. Things to consider that are on the test are (all of chapter 6): classification, the 6 kingdoms, characteristics of the 2 bacteria kingdoms, viruses, and details from our "microbes and you" program on Friday. Study your vocabulary! We are currently working in chapter 7 and this material will not be featured on the test. (You should know the characteristics of protists because they are one of the 6 kingdoms.)
