Classification

PD day today so class was a quick one. We went over notes on taxonomy. The notes were the homework from last week.

Reminder~ Tomorrow is the LA trip to see Arsenic and Old Lace.

HW Tonight! Create a sentence to help you remember the 7-layer system of classification.

Music and Organisms

What is the link? They both can be classified. In class we listened to various artists and discussed how to classify the music. Scientists do the same thing with all the organisms. Scientists classify living things based on their traits. We also discussed why a system of classification is needed.

Tomorrow we will review notes on taxonomy (this was your homework from last week).

There is no homework tonight. (Yes, I know my website says yes but we did not get as far as I anticipated).

Reminder~ PD day tomorrow. School starts at 10:30am

Organisms!

We are moving into our last unit....ORGANISMS!

Starting last week we began looking at various types of organisms. We then discovered what all living things must do (called life processes).

In class we looked at how scientists name organisms. Tomorrow we will go a little further into naming and look at TAXONOMY! (This is where you will need to bring in your MP3/CD).

HW! Complete the Martian and Car worksheet. (See class links if you left it in school)
