Finished with Invertebrates!

Today, we finished up our study of invertebrates with the Chapter 29 test!  We have learned a lot about the different ways that invertebrates feed, respire, circulate vital materials, excrete harmful materials, and reproduce.  It has been an interesting unit!

Now, we are going to study humans for the rest of the semester!  Students will get a little taste of human anatomy and physiology in our final unit!  I am very excited about the few weeks coming up...this is by far my favorite time of year!  

Don't forget to complete your homework tonight!  You need to fill in the Body Systems Packet and be prepared for a quiz over the information on Friday.  We will be discussing and drawing the different body systems tomorrow in class!

Have a great evening!  See you tomorrow!

Studying Arthropods and Echinoderms!

We are getting ready to wrap up our study of arthropods and echinoderms.  Yesterday, we discussed the different groups of arthropods (crustaceans, spiders and their relatives, and insects and their relatives).  Tomorrow, we will discuss echinoderms.  The rest of the week should involve reviewing for the Chapter 28 Test and taking the test on Friday.  

The homework that you completed for last night will be checked tomorrow!  It wasn't checked today due to the large amount of juniors absent for the Eastman Career Day field trip.  

Have a great day!
