Animals: Structure and Function

Groups of organs with specific structures and functions work together as systems, which interact with other systems in the body.
The development and uses of technology to maintain human health are based, in part, on the changing needs of society.

Phylogeny


Biology students practiced using a dichotomous key to identify and name alien creatures scattered through our class. They used this activity to generate the criteria for a dichotomous key. They then created a dichotomous key of their own. In the second half of our lesson, students were introduced to modern taxonomy – phylogeny. They examined phylogenetic trees.

Homework & Reminders

  • Read Nelson Biology 11 p. 14 - 20,  & Do Q 2, 5 – 7 (if you did not get done yesterday)
  • Complete your dichotomous key for Thingies and Whatzits
  • Read Nelson Biology 11 p. 21 – 25, Do the practice problems on p. 23
  • Welcome BBQ, September 17, 4 – 7 pm
