4/29

This week we explored 4 simple invertebrate phyla (Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, and Nematoda). Students worked collectively in a jigsaw activity to not only complete their notes but to see if they could teach each other a little more about each phyla. Throughout the week, students were able to complete an observation lab in order to review what we had learned. In this lab, students were able to identify and view hydra, planaria, sponges, coral, flatworms, roundworms, and jellyfish! We are taking our simple invertebrate quiz on Tuesday next week, once all the students are back in the classroom and we can review all together. Next, we will focus on mollusks and annelids (segmented worms).
Happy sunny Friday!
