Taxonomy

Students learned about poriferans in class today--sponges! They saw several examples of sponges, as well as some videos of live sponges in action. Homework is to read and study chapter 2 and write out answers to the study questions at the end of the chapter.

Reminder: Students should come to class every week with a small, white dry erase board and a working dry erase marker.

Students received their course pack in class today and we covered chapter 1. They also received a syllabus for the class. They should read/study chapter 1 and do the study questions on page 12 for homework. Answers should be in complete sentences as much as possible.

Dear parents and students,

I look forward to meeting you next week and getting off to a good start. Over the summer I have completed a new and updated course pack, so if you come with the old one inherited from an older sibling, it will be replaced!

We will be covering invertebrate animals the first semester, and several dissections are planned.

See you next Friday!
