Tuesday, April 12th: Continuing Animal Kingdom

We had an odd schedule for the HSPE test today.  I saw 3rd, 5th and 6th periods for 40 minutes each and did not see 2nd period at all! 

Reminders:
1.  Test corrections are due today at 3:05.
2.  First review session will be today at 3:05.
3.  Homework for 3rd, 5th and 6th is the Animal Kingdom free response with the phylogenetic tree that I handed out in class.
4.  Ch. 40-\42 packet is due on Monday.

In class:
We began with Vocab Quiz 3. 
Next we continued the Phyla of the Animal Kingdom checklist that we began yesterday.  Our focus was on differentiating between the triploblasts by bringing in acoelomate vs. pseudocoelomate vs. coelomate.  Within the coelomates we further divided the phyla into protostome (1st mouth) vs. deuterostome (2nd mouth) and how their embryonic development differs.
