Vocabulary Quiz 2 is tomorrow!
Today our focus was on plants. We started by going through the top of the table on page 3 of the packet. spent some time discussing the vascular system (xylem up, phloem down!), the limitations of flagellated sperm, and the advantages of pollen, seeds, flowers and fruits. However, the bulk of the class time was spent on alternation of generations, which is one of the most important topics covered within this kingdom. Here are some animations of alternation of generations: Life Cycles of Ferns and Flowering Plants, Life Cycle of a Gymnosperm, Life Cycle of a Moss
To check your understanding of these concepts, try Activity 29.1, Activity 29.2, and Activity 30.1.
