Catching up and Finishing

Today students started with some scenarios and they needed to identify whether the scenarios were predation, competition, mutualism, commensalism, or parasitism. Students also worked on a crossword covering that material and all the types of fish coloration.

Giant clams have a mutual relationship with tiny zooxanthellae algae that live in their tissues. The clams provide a home and some nutrients to the zoox algae. The zoox algae give the giant clams their pretty colors and help give them food by photosynthesizing. 

Students spent time reviewing and took their Unit 2 Ecology Test.

Tomorrow students will have new seats and begin Unit 3 Plants Plankton and Biomes

Computer Lab Etiquette

You are in the computer lab to do work for this class. If you are not doing work, then we will have problems.

Do not pack up early. Work until the bell or until MsJ says.

SAVE OFTEN. And if you save to a key, also save it to your number. If you lose it, you will have to do it again.

If MsJ asks for your attention, stop what you are doing and listen to what she has to say.

You may watch videos about your organism through reliable websites.

You may listen to music through the computer if you have your own headphones. Rule1 MsJ cannot hear it. You get one warning. Rule2 Turn it on and listen – no million clicks and constant changing. Take both ear phones out when MsJ is talking.
