ACT. 44, WHO'S WHO? in class 12.16 & 12.17.14

Use the links below to find the Micro-Life Cards & Dichotomous Key listed in the materials.  The second sheet of the links includes the Classification Cards that are part of step 8 of the Procedure.  Step 8 discusses 6 Classification Cards.  I have simplified your work by including only 3 cards.  Each Micro-Life Card organism belongs in one of the three groups - Virus, Bacteria, or Protist.

I suggest you group the cards into three groups, then based on the Dichotomous Key, decide on the names of the groups.  Finally,  "key out" the names of the organisms using the Key.

You should have 2 work products in your notebook at the end of this Activity:

  1. a chart/ table of three columns, one for each group - Virus, Bacteria, Protist.  In each column there will be a list of the organisms that belong to the group.
  2. A list of common features of each group, as discussed in Procedure step 9.

ACT. 51, THE FULL COURSE (about antibiotics)

We are working on this ACT. in class Dec. 18 & 19.  When you read the materials list, you will notice that you need a number cube to complete the Activity.  We are using dice instead.  If you are making up this work due to an excused absence, please see me about the dice.

We are using cutout pieces of construction paper for the colored disks.  Again, they cannot leave the room while the classes are working with them.  See me about the colored disks.

Here are links to the "worksheet" materials needed for this Activity.  The Activity will be more fun if you have a partner working with you.

1.5.15: I have given a "kit" of materials to students who attended class today but were gone on 12.19.  I gave them to students who raised their hands when I announced there was a "kit" for those who were absent.

ASSIGNMENT, Analysis Q 1, 4, 6 & data table & graph (taped into notebook as a flap) DUE Jan 6.
