February 1, 2011 - SNOW DAY TOMORROW!!

Agenda:
  • Show Mrs. Stein UP 26 (the endangered animal sheet) plus the "Picture This!" homework
  • Enjoy Matt's post and it is revealed that I am to be the scribe today
  • Evidence for Evolution Quiz
  • Discuss and grade quiz
  • Lab 38

We started off the class period by showing Mrs. Stein our UP 26 and Picture This! homework and received a homework stamp sheet. Then we were handedBold back our breakfast for birds lab (UP 4-8). We then spilt into partners or worked by ourselves and did a Evidence for Evolution quiz on such terms as Homologous, vestigial and analogous structures. We then graded our quizzes in class and took a few notes on the terms:

Comparative Anatomy- the study of similarities and differences between species' bodies.
Homologous Structures- similar bone structures
Comparative Embryology- examine and compare embryos of organisms
Analogous Structures- different organisms began living in similar environments, their appendages evolved to perform the same function.

Then we did "Lab 38" which is located in our biology lab books. Mrs Stein explained how we have to color the bones in the animal diagram and then answer the questions. We finished off class by finishing the lab and hearing how the travel advisory for today was "life threatening" from Mrs. Stein.

Homework:
  • finish the lab
  • Read 19.2
  • T.V. ad 2/28
Snow day on wednesday so all the homework except the t.v. ad is due on thursday.

our next scribe will be...... Amanda!!!!
