HOMEWORK FOR THE NEXT 3 CLASSES

For Friday - Please read from Defenses p 204 to the bottom of p 207 + p212-213. It's more reading than usual but not more words. You should have these words in your notes: spicules, yellow boring sponges, hermit crab sponge, sperm, oral/atrial siphon, tadpole larva, tunicates, and planarians. We've already discussed mimicry. You will not be responsible for p214-215. You can read p208 after school if you'd like. Puzzles are also due Friday.

For Tuesday - I will hand out a Review Sheet to start on over the weekend, and bring back to class Tuesday.  Your lap books are due any day between now and the 25th: Level A & B Find large pictures of 3 types of sponges and 3 types of Bristle type worms such as 1 fireworm, 1 tube worm, 1 flatworm. You can choose others. I hope you will treasure your Lap books in the future. Don't forget a Title page with art.

For Friday - you will have a take home test to do Wed or Thur. The other day please complete your ocean box project. You should already have made Lesson 11 and 12 creatures. Please pick a sponge or worm for Lesson 13. We will have these presentations in class and be done!

It's been an information packed year, and I hope you will always continue to be curious about God's creation. God's blessings on all of you. Eph. 3:16-20. I will miss you.

HOMEWORK FOR TUESDAY THE 15

You should be so proud of your science fair presentations!!! Parents and students alike, all your endless hard work this year made you shine on Friday. The judges were so impressed, you even had more interesting and higher level experiments than the upper grades!
For Tuesday, please read p 201-204. You should have notes on multicellular and unicellular, consumers and producers, sponges, pinacoderm, porifera, ostia, collar cells, and osculum.
The crossword won't be due until next Friday.

HOMEWORK FOR FRIDAY THE 11TH

I know I'm late so I'll keep this light. Please read p209 to 212 stopping at Flatworms. Take notes on Annelids/segmented worm, leeches, bristle worms, listing rag worms,  lugworms and tube worms with characteristics.

Everyone has nerves giving an oral presentation - it gets better the more often you do it. Remember these tips: pretend you're talking to a friend so it's a natural delivery. Look at your audience not up or to the side, don't fidget or sway or play with hands, hair, or props. Speak clearly and not too fast. If you forget something don't go back and repeat everything - that makes it sounds memorized. Don't forget to smile and act like you had fun with your experiment. Be excited!

HOMEWORK FOR MAY 8TH

Prepare your trifold board presentation. You should know your material well enough to go through it without reading. Your written work is also due tomorrow: 1 page with background research and 1 page with your 5 steps of experiment. These can be longer but at minimum one page. We will have a practice run then a graded run. You can leave your board in the youth suite closet until Friday if you want.
Matthew don't forget your lap book this time.

HOMEWORK FOR TUESDAY, MAY 8TH

Practice your science fair presentation out loud several times before class. Be familiar with your experiment so you can explain it without reading your board. We will have one practice run and then the presentation for a grade. If you are uncertain about any aspect of the board or your paper, bring them to class this Friday for review.
