No Journal.
Today we dissected earthworms using this student checklist. There is no makeup available for the lab unless you've discussed your absence with me beforehand.
Then I collected your late and hall passes for term 4 extra credit. I won't accept them at any other time. With any time left over, I called you up one at a time to go over your final grade for term 4 with you and signed your checkout form for the school year.
It's been a pleasure! Good luck this summer and in 8th grade!

Define the following terms: anterior, posterior, dorsal, and ventral.
We finished the pre-lab questions (USE THIS URL FOR THE VIRTUAL DISSECTION INSTEAD OF THE ONE ON THE PRE-LAB QUESTIONS PACKET) for your earthworm dissection today, then watched this video to review some dissection techniques.
Then we took a quiz using this powerpoint and this response sheet. (have a parent administer the quiz for you using the powerpoint while you write in your responses on the response sheet).
HW: study pre-lab material for your final next week (Tuesday or Wednesday); all earthworm dissection pre-lab material plus your late and hall passes are due the day of the final.

Today I collected Discovering Symmetry assignment and checked off your animal phyla map (see Monday and Tuesday's posts for the links to the animal phyla assignment).
Then we took the animal phyla mastery quiz. Please see me to make that up if you missed class.
