I am modifying the bird journal slightly .... I would like you to have a minimum of THREE entries. For Seniors, this will be due by 8pm on Wednesday 5/13. For Juniors, this will be due by 4pm on Tuesday, 5/19. Thanks!
Zoology Mammal Test tomorrow, 5/12
This test will cover:
The bulk of the mammal groups: monotremes, marsupials, and placental mammals. Know which animals belong in each, and the different characteristics of each group (eggs, pouches, umbilical cords, etc)
Know facts about elk, deer, mice, and bats in Kansas, as discussed in class. If you don't have this info, get notes from somebody who does.
Know several facts from the rat dissection.
**This test will be all multiple-choice, and will be on Quia.**

Zoology Mammal Quiz Info
Hey everyone,
First of all, I want to say I'm glad you're all safe after the storms the other night. It was a crazy evening, to say the least! With school being called off on Thursday, it set us back a day for the testing schedule. Today we will have the practical over the rat .... and then on Monday, we'll take the mammal quiz. Here is the rundown for the mammal quiz on Monday:
Know what makes a mammal a mammal (a minimum of four facts)
Know facts about these orders: Monotremes, marsuipals, and placental mammals
Know facts about the following Kansas animals (some of you may have been absent, so get these notes before you take this quiz!):
