Life Science ....

Today in Life Science we discussed bacteria and took a few notes.  Please get these notes so you have them!  Thanks!!!

Biology 3/27...Here's what you missed:

We discussed more over cladograms today, and Venn diagrams.  Please look at the information in this link.  The first link is an example of how to do them, the second is a chart comparing various characteristics of animals.  Choose which format (cladogram or Venn) and create a graphic organizer splitting the differences apart.  This is due by class tomorrow, 3/28:
