This is a good link for evolutionary terms: https://www.ck12.org/book/CK-12-Biology-Concepts/section/11.2/ If you have: annelids, cheliceriforma, hexapoda, and crustacea Phylums are : annelids and arthropods (cheliceriforma, hexapoda, crustacea) -could talk about segmentation, exoskeleton, moulting, last common ancestor, chilicerae,    biramous  appendages. terrestial and aquatic, number of legs http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article//arthropods_02 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthropod#Evolutionary_family_tree  go to "evolutionary family tree" and "classification" ---------------------------------------------------------- If you have: Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda All four are their own phylums  -could talk about multicellularity, symmetry, tissues, body cavity, acoelomate, coelomate, germ layers Use evolutionary tree -  https://www.ck12.org/book/CK-12-Biology-Concepts/section/11.2/ \ --------------------------

Don't forget about your test Friday afternoon! I'm available in the morning if you need to ask questions before the test. You may have a reference card to use during the test, as always. What to study: 1) Any questions in the booklet 2) These topics from lecture notes and class activities Describe the basic structure of DNA. Describe DNAs role in evolution. Describe the five agents of evolutionary change: mutation, genetic drift, gene flow, non-random mating, and natural selection Describe the 5 different types of evidence for evolution. What is a species and what is speciation? What is the difference between convergent and divergent evolution? Happy Studying

Pseudoscience Webquest! What is science? We have been taking science since kindergarten but the term science is still difficult for most people to define because it includes so many different aspects. However, young scientists must have a firm foundation to build their scientific knowledge on top of and one of the aspects of that foundation is understanding what is and what isn't REALLY science. This is the first step toward developing what is called "scientific literacy." In this assignment, we will be exploring how to tell the difference between science and pseudoscience.  As we go through the assignment, please complete the accompanying sheet. The numbers on the sheet will match the numbers on this webquest post. After the sheet is finished you will begin a small project assignment that you will probably be able to complete today. 1. First, let's watch a video that contains one definition of science. What is Science? 2. First, look up the prefix pseudo -
