At this point, Chapter 18 has been completed, which means you should be finished reading it. We began Chapter 19 today, so begin/continue your reading in this chapter. We will complete the graphic organizer tomorrow in class and graph the data in your handout. The rest of this week we will focus on Chapter 20, which begins comparative anatomy with a focus on human anatomy.
Your next test is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 8 and it will cover Chapters 18 and 19 only. Be prepared for a quiz over Chapter 18 (the invertebrates) on Friday of THIS WEEK. You have all of the notes and lab information already.

Tonight's Reading/Studying
Study all graphic organizers, including the ones we did for the prokaryotes (archaebacteria, bacterial shapes, modes of nutrition, and structures.) Those are the ones that take up both sides of the paper. You also have a manipulative for the three domains (it's blue.)
The protist notes are organized by notecard. Study those and be prepared to practice with the graphic organizer I have in class tomorrow.
For the fungi, you have a lab sheet and either notes on notebook paper or on notecards. Remember--I gave you the option of how to take those notes.
The plant adaptations for life on land are in a t-graph. The classifications are in a graphic organizer that you cut into a manipulative. You also have the flower diagram you drew today in class.
Lastly, any vocabulary terms not specifically covered in notes should be on notecards. The only exceptions would be vocabulary from the plant life cycles (i.e. sections 17.4, 17.5,17.6,17.7, 17.9.) You need to know the alternation of generations (when plants alternate between a haploid gametophyte generation and a diploid sporophyte generation), but you do not need to study the actual life cycles--see sections above.
I also sent everyone the links to the online quizzes you were doing in class today on the smartboard. Check your email!

Tonight's Reading/Notes
As you read about the fungal groups tonight, have your notecards out and jot down some key characteristics for each group. You also need to list examples for each group. We will TRY to do some collecting tomorrow if the weather is not brutally cold or rainy. Pond water is needed for Thursday as well.

This Week
Finish reading chapter 16. We will be adding to your notecards tomorrow to finish the protists. Also, on Thursday we will be in lab. If you have pond water at your disposal, we'd love some.:) The fungi come next, so look ahead into chapter 17 if you've finished 16. Separate vocabulary cards are still HIGHLY encouraged.

Tonight's Reading/Vocabulary
First of all--great day back after the long break! It was good to see all of you again in class today. Here's what going on this week:
1) Sections 16.1-16.10 Wednesday and Thursday in class. Quiz over these sections on Friday.
2) Mini-lab tomorrow, then we finish up the prokaryotes. You will be given a manipulative over the three domains tomorrow in class. (That is Table 16.2 in your book, so start familiarizing yourself with the information in that table because you will have to know it.)
3) Vocabulary cards. Although I am not requiring them, I highly recommend you do them. Why? They are strong reinforcement of vocabulary taught in class. You can mix up your cards and see if you know the terms out of their 'natural habitat', i.e. not in a graphic organizer.
The only vocabulary terms you can omit from the first ten sections are: gram stain, proteobacteria, chlamydias, gram-positive bacteria
After the quiz on Friday, we will begin to decipher the protists.
