I apologize for assignments not being posted for the last week in March and the month of April. Since these weeks involved reviewing for the ASA, testing, and the dissection of owl pellets and the frog, I made only one entry for those weeks. I did not go to the web page after this entry until today and noticed NOTHING was there. I must have not hit publish now.
Mon. 5/3/10 - Begin discussion of the classification system: Read pages 203 -209 and 211 - 218.
Do class activity separating students into groups based on common characteristics. Use the classified ads in newspaper to illustrate grouping according to common characteristics. Begin discussion of Carolus Linnaeus and how he developed the classification system in the 1700's
