« Protist questions and after school research schedule | Main | Project Research Continues »

Wednesday was a project workday outside. Many students are working diligently to collect data and finish their project work; others are not. The final report is due on Monday, May 14. I am available to help students after school until 5:30 on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday of next week.

Following DEAR time in class on Thursday, student groups sorted illustrations, labels, and facts about 8 major animal phyla into groups to create a poster using chapters 10-13. Groups will finish and evaluate their work next week as we continue to learn how animals are sorted scientifically.

Friday students will read chapter 10 and compare and contrast some of the invertebrate phyla using the following assignment:

Comparing Sponges and Cnidarians.doc

Comparing and Contrasting Three Worm Phyla.doc

The other activity for mollusks and arthropods is not available for posting. If you are absent, you will need to get one from me on Monday. We will finish it in class on Monday and examine some preserved specimens.

I am at a workshop today and will hand out progress reports on Monday.
