Working on advertisements: One For your phylum, Two against other phylums. 30 seconds each, rough draft of each advertisement, read into google voice tomorrow.

Friday: Polishing your advertisements, read them into google voice by the end of the period.
-Creating 3 Radio Ads-One Positive, Two Negative Where you are a SuperPac supporting one of the Animal Phylums running against the Plant Kingdom's Candidate.
-Each ad must be at least thirty seconds long and have 5 details.
-Include a paid for by "Come up with clever organization here"
-Then call it in to Google Voice.
-I'll have my freshman listen to all of the ads and vote on a Phylum that they think is the most adapted. If your phylum wins, you get 5 bonus points.

Weekend: Study chapter 18, sections in Chap. 16 in the handout, and hardy-weinberg, speciation, allopatric, sympatric,

Monday:
1.) Cut statements out and placing them into the categories of the nine different phylum.
-Create 5 statements that can be used as a review of your phylum (that make your phylum unique)
2.) Debate prep: Listen to the advertisements, Create your opening statements and closing remarks for a debate. My questions will be based on what your plans are for the future of life on earth, other people's ads, and why your phylum is best adapted to lead life on earth.
3.) What do we want to know about worms.
4.) Homework: AP Practice Questions.

Tuesday:
What do we want to know about worms?
Dissection of a Worm.

Wednesday: Around the room classification, Whiteboard all we know about the animal phylum from memory.

Thursday: Snow make-up day.

Friday: Test

Monday: First Debate (Video taped to show freshmen)

Tuesday: Dissection of a Mollusk

Monday: Comparison of Mollusk to worm (Start Chart completion)

Tuesday: Echinodermata Dissection.

Wednesday: Grasshopper Dissection.

Thursday: Perch Dissection.

Friday: Comparison of Dissected Specimens

Tuesday
Survival of the Fittest: Chapter 18 Test Coming next week.
In groups of up to 3-5, Number off
You need to know the important details of Chapter 18 each phylum, what sets it apart, its characteristics, its adaptations, how the organisms fulfill the needs of life, its important groups, important questions about the phylum. You also need to know how the phylums relate to each other. 9 Phylums (1 main group-Insects).
3 days in class (W, R, F)

Test Next Tuesday Over Chapter 18

Wednesday: Belly-button story and Homologous vs. Analogous Structures.
Dissections of five different animal kingdoms.
Starfish (Echinoderm)
Mussels (Mollusca)
Worms (Annelida)
Grasshopper (Arthropoda)
Perch (Fish-Chordata)

Creating Plant Kingdom Tree Based on Data from various divisions.
Use http://bioweb.uwlax.edu/bio203/2010/minnis_ashl/classification.htm as a model to create cards based on ingroups and out groups.

SWBAT: Major phylums and examples notes?
Looking at Algae, Moss, Pine, and Flowers
1.) Pictures of each with descriptions of each:
a.) Visible characteristics
b.) looking up distinguishing characteristics

Thursday
SWBAT:Describe the major phyla of life.

Start of 2nd Semester-Finishing Evolution, Speciation, Hardy Weinberg

Thursday:
1.) Transcription Factors Roll Play with Steroid Hormone Diffusing into the cell to make collagen.
2.) Estrogen and Natural Selection Picture:
What do you notice about these two pictures?
3.) Go over final exam

Friday:
Quick going over different types of evolutionary structures. Then around the room to classify scenarios and pictures based on evolutionary vocabulary.
SWBAT: Describe scenarios when Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is violated.
1.) Quick Definitions of micro-evolution situations: Natural Selection, Genetic Drift (Founder Effect, Bottleneck Effect), Gene Flow, Adaptive Radiation.
2.) Around the room scenarios to identify Homologous Structures, Analogous Structures, Natural Selection, Genetic Drift, Gene Flow, Adaptive Radiation.

Monday
Day One: Species Definitions and Speciation Types...
SWBAT: Describe the different definitions of species. Show different Pine Cones and ask "How did these trees have cones that are different?"
