1. Ch. 40-42 packet is due on Monday
2. There will be a quiz on this material on Monday (5 questions from each chapter).
3. Vocab Quiz 4 on Tuesday!
4. Homework is to complete Plant Essential Question #1: How do plants acquire and distribute nutrients and water?
Today we started by going over the Animal Kingdom free response question that was given out on Tuesday. This assignment was collected.
Next we finished the Phyla of the animal kingdom checklist. We identified that all chordates have a notochord at some point during development and that reptiles, aves and mammals have an amnion. We then finished by noting that all chordates have an endoskeleton, Phylum Arthropoda have an exoskeleton and everything from Phylum Cnideria to Phylum Annelida has a hydrostatic skeleton.
I gave students about 15 minutes to look at preserved specimens from each of the phyla. And that concluded the Diversity Unit.
The Plant Unit:
We will be learning more about plants by investigating three essential questions:
1. How do plants acquire and distribute nutrients and water?
2. How do angiosperms reproduce?
3. How is plant growth controlled?
We began by investigating the first essential question. Completing this question only is your homework. Answers do not need to be in essay form.
