I posted this yesterday, or so I thought, but my students informed they were not able to download the study guide.
There will be a test covering all of Chapter Six on Friday, January 27th. Students can download and print a study guide if they didn't pick one up in class. As usual, study guides are worth five bonus points on the test and MUST be signed by a parent. The study guide is required for those students who scored below a 70 on last week's quiz.

Due Monday, January 23rd.
Students will use Chapter 6, Section 3 to create a "WANTED" (think Wild West or police search) poster for bacteria. Students may make a "WANTED" poster representing either an unlawful, harmful bacteria, or a desirable, helpful bacteria. Students may use their text book or Internet to research a type of bacteria.

- Genus and Species name (may be real or fictitious name, use correct punctuation)
- Explanation for why the bacteria is wanted (Harmful ex: strep throat, vomiting, food poisoning, spoiling food OR Helpful ex: food digestion, making milk, cheese, yogurt, medication)
- Description of physical characteristics (ex: spherical, rodlike, or spiral shape, color, etc).
- Where you would find the bacteria (Last seen.....ex: in the intestines, cheese factory, hiding in a pond, the bottom of your shoe)
Posters should be made on a sheet of computer paper, (no lines), but may also be made on construction paper, poster, etc.
Have a great weekend!
