I missed the crossword for sea cucumbers when compiling the worksheets, so here it is: Here are the keys and test questions for download. Keep in mind that the questions may be reworded on a test, and that there will be additional questions not found in these files. There will be questions on Insects, on the phyla in general, and on the theme of evolutionary trend towards increasing complexity, hence the note in yesterday's update about needing to have general knowledge of earlier phyla. The test will only be on invertebrates, not vertebrates, as we have not yet finished the latter unit. You should also be aware of the general ecological roles of the invertebrates.

 * [[file:Sea cucumbers xword.pdf]]

Note: I only did some formatting to try to have the multiple-choice options on the same page. Some of the questions are trivial, and will definitely not be on the test. Also, the answers in the keys may not be the best, and there may be some mistakes. Discuss them with your friends if something seems wrong to you. This was meant to help, and was not meant to be a free pass to not study.

When you are done with your draft notes for general characteristics (body plan) & life functions, please email it to me, so I can give feedback regarding the amount of detail. Do so ASAP; don't wait until Tuesday night, or I might not receive it and end up correcting you during your presentation, and thus lowering your grade. Vocab & Learning Objectives for the rest of the invertebrate phyla up. You will notice a lot of duplication. Try to incorporate the vocab into your project. Practice Quizzes. Do as many times as you wish.

Recommended work:
 * Thursday July 26**
 * Lab questions. Will quickly go over them tomorrow, but as always, better that you've got your answers ahead of time
 * Start looking into your group of animals, and bring ideas about which specific animal in your group you would like to focus on. Class time will be given tomorrow to plan and delegate work.

Contents: Due Date: Wednesday Aug 1. You will have class time tomorrow to plan, and a bit of time on Tuesday for final touches. GET EACH OTHER'S EMAILS. Google Docs is a great way to collaborate online.
 * Presentation to teach class. (~ 15 minutes. 20 max) Be picky about what notes you want class to copy. I will have the vocab and learning objective list up soon, so you have an idea about how much detail. Generally speaking, the idea is that the class will be able to note the similarities in a phylum, and be able to classify your organism into its phylum.
 * powerpoint font is ideally larger than 24. POINT FORM
 * general body plan & characteristics
 * life functions (life cycle will go in reproduction)
 * interesting facts/stories/video (Did you know...?)
 * Something for practice at home, either a worksheet or a quiz (worksheet is probably better, since it might be difficult to come up with questions that are different from the test)
 * Test questions: mix of MC and written (~10 MC and 3 written)

Plants Worksheets - this will likely be an assignment mark, in that I gave you a mark for making the worksheet. You may choose to do the worksheets for your own practice Well done with the worksheets! Many of you hit the important points. Making your own review sheets really makes the brain think about what it has learned, and helps sift through what is important, and what isn't. For those of you who are a bit confused about the Q & A assignment, another way of thinking about it is making worksheets as you read. I combined some of the questions onto one page, so there would not be too much repetition. Word doc and PDF provided, so you can type out answers instead. I did not leave room for the written answers, since each of you need differing amounts of space.
