February 1, 2006 Essential Question: What are protists?
The warm up today is #7, and the questions are: what characteristics do algae share, and what characteristics so the cells of colonial algae and multicellular organisms share?.
The first answer is they are all autotrophs, and the second answer is they are specialized to do certain tasks.

Today we finished the concept maps. The map was on all the algae like, fungus like, and animal like protist. They need to be colored, and completed today.

We also looked under the microscopes today. Many students saw a lot of paramecium under their microscopes.

Last, we started our stories today. Imagine if you were the size of a protozoan. You need to write a story about encounters with other organisms. We will finish this in class tomorrow.
