Dissection Cumination Project and Mid-Feb to spring break.

Monday: Echinoderm Dissection

Tuesday: Perch Dissection

Wednesday: Whiteboarding Heart Rate Experiment

Thursday: Project Start
Ultimate Goal: Students present the various features of the organisms we dissected in terms of the similar requirements of life but the different ways they go about meeting those requirements.
Requirements:
Reproduction
Obtaining Nutrients
Homeostasis
Digestion
Exchanging Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
Moving
Cephalization-Coordinating Systems

Groups of two will be describing the same system as it is in the different organisms. -First they will write an essay that traces the similarities and differences, including a description of the human system that completes this life requirement.
-They will make a video that shows images of the differing systems in the organisms.
-They will make a handout that the other groups can use as a study guide for knowing about the systems in each of the animals we dissected.
-The video should progress from the organism with the least evolved system to that with the most evolved system.
-In the video Be sure to include which phylum each organism is a part of.

Friday: Continue working on project. (Call in final ad)
