Monday we started with a fun activity of classifying a “new species” of organisms. We also practiced our classification skills by classifying sharks. Tuesday we will be comparing and contrasting the characteristics of the 6 kingdoms.
I will be at the technology conference on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The students will be practicing the skills they learned by doing a Survey of the Kingdoms lab on Wednesday and a Classifying Bacteria Activity on Thursday. Friday students will review some concepts from 1st semester as we prepare for the EOC Exam that will be given on May 10.
