SWYK for classification of life today ...

5/26/2017

0 Comments

 
Today we discussed symbiosis: mutualism, commensalism, and parastism.  Species in the tree of life work together!  Sometimes helpful to each other; sometimes with great harm.  It's important to remember biodiversity is critical for an ecosystem no matter how small or seemingly negative in impact.  Species diversity ensures ecosystem productivity and sustainability for all life forms!  Next week we will explore more with the tree of live (NOVA Lab: Evolution Labs) AND do our biome projects!  Closer to done but not quite yet!

More life today ...

Today we explored the multi cellular kingdoms: Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia!  Oh the diversity of life! Tomorrow we shall SWYK on classification and the kingdoms.  Know your levels of classification (DKPCOFGS) and how the relationship of organisms changes from level to level.  ALSO be aware of why we have changed our classification categories over time AND why we may change them again in the future.  Review your notes of the similarities and differences in the kingdoms? Missed yesterday or today?  PRINT MY NOTES!

Micro life ...

Today we explored microscopic members from the tree of life (including viruses which swing from life's branches but are not quite alive all on their own).  We also explored the Giants of Science that helped us understand vaccines, antibiotics, and even MY connection to the Protist kingdom as an algae nerd!  IF YOU MISSED CLASS TODAY you can check in with me during Home Base study hall OR visit with someone who was here and ask them what to add to your notebook.  Tomorrow we explore macroscopic life!
STILL NEED A PERMISSION SLIP SIGNED FOR THE WATER PARK?  PRINT AND GET SIGNED!!!

Today we corrected our keys for apples, bananas, strawberries, and oranges.  Some of us are pros at writing our own classification key... some of us are not quite yet (but we all can USE one!)...

Keep practicing your levels of classifciation: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, species.  SWYK will be the end of next week.  Come up with your own mnemonic device to remember! 

Spend your weekend preparing for your collaborative presentation!  We will resume our study of the 6 kingdoms once all of you have presented in social studies/ELA! We will start with micro life and then explore macro life and then assess what you know about the  six kingdoms and classification.

Be sure you have Linneus in your GOSATOT!  If you missed class today you can PRINT THESE NOTES...

Classification continues ...

5/18/2017

Today we reviewed 8 levels of classification used today, discussed scientific names vs. common names, AND we reviewed how to use a taxonomic key to identify organisms.  TONIGHT'S CHALLENGE is to create a taxonomic key that will identify a piece of fruit as an apple, a banana, a strawberry, or an orange. Tomorrow we put your key to the test AND discuss the 6 kingdoms of life.  Do you know DKPCOFGS by memory yet?
