On "Metric Monday" we will practice the scientific method and learn how to measure liquid volume. We will use graduated cylinders, beakers, and pipettes to measure in Liters (L) and milliliters (mL). We will observe the meniscus and make accurate measurements.
This week in Biology we will complete a Dichotomous Key, Last week you were given a bag of assorted items and worked as teams to develop a classification system. Now you will take that a step further as you review your system and fine-tune it in a more thorough way. We will learn about early classification systems by Aristotle and later systems developed by Linnaeus. This will prepare us to understand the modern classification of living things: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
On Tuesday, you will have a vocabulary test on cells.
Also, this week we will enjoy your cell projects!
