Discuss graph results and analysis of digestion of egg white v temperature. Introduce expansion of kingdoms from just plant and animal to plant, animal, protist, bacteria, and fungi. Discuss and define characteristics of animals which involve movement and reproduction. Discuss internal and external fertilization, hermaphrodites, zygote formation, cons to external fertilization. View diagrams of different methods of asexual reproduction and discuss budding, fragmentation, regeneration, parthenogenesis, and binary fission.
Discuss animal cell structure and the evolutionary development of tissue. Show how the original kingdoms of classification have expanded from plant and animal to now also include Monera and Fungi. Discuss movement due to a unique combination of nerve and muscle . Introduce both sexual an asexual reproduction. Define hermaphrodites, zygote, internal and external fertilization. Include in asexual, budding, fragmentation, regeneration, parthenogenesis, and binary fission
Discuss the evolution of animals from choanoflagellate. Discuss different methods of feeding and digestion attributed to animal which can be determined by anatomical mouth parts. View diagrams of hydra. Discuss intracellular and extracellular digestion and the development of specific cavities and digestive tracts. Discuss and view exoskeleton and endoskeleton structures. View images of organisms with exoskeletons. Discuss endoskeleton chemical composition, calcium carbonate, cartilage, and bone. Determine the functions of the skeleton. Introduce the habitats of animals determined by a variety of adaptations. Briefly discuss animal cell structure and tissue development.
Aiden had already completed the following: 1) read Section 24.2 Pages 698 through 704, 2) answered questions 1 through 4 and 6 on page 704, Section 24.2, and 3) read Page 717, but he could not interpret the data because it required a small pond. We reviewed vocabulary: 1) asymmetry, 2) bilateral symmetry, 3) radial symmetry, 4) anterior, 5) posterior, 6) cephalization, 7) dorsal, 8) ventral, 9) coelom, 10) pseudocoelom, 11) acoelomates, 12) protostomes, and 13) deuterostomes. He did very well and worked very hard this week!
Aiden answered six assessment questions. Then I had him teach me what he learned from those answers as a way to reinforce his learning and gain confidence. He told me that I am "more like a worm then a jellyfish,” and he used his terminology to explain why.
The student read Chapter 24, pages 692–698. He compiled a list of vocabulary words in his notebook. Then, the student completed an assessment on page 697.
Continue and complete the effect which environmental factors play on the growth and development of plant structures. Concentrate on light and temperature factors. Discuss which hormones play a role in the positive and negative responses on growth. Discuss the effect of phototropism on growth, and why the stems will point in a direction toward the light, based on auxin concentration.
Define and discuss in detail the 3 common tropisms which affect plant growth. Phototropism, the effect of light,
Gravitropism, the effect of gravity, and thigmotropism, the effect of touch. introduce the response to season changes in short day plants and long day plants. Define photoperiod and the effect on plants. Introduce the photochrome pigment which activates a number of signal pathways within the cell.
Discuss how Auxin plant hormone will increase the length of stems. Show how water will enter the cells due to the cell walls decomposing, the water will cause an increase in the cell size. Define and discuss how gibberellin's and Cytokinase hormones will affect growth of the plant, by increasing cell division and the formation off new cells accompanied by cytokinesis.
