Tuesday and Wednesday Review

We have spent the last couple days reviewing Unit 2 Ecology.

We have done challenges looking at large photos and making educated guesses. We matched vocabulary cards and did puzzles to make sure we understood terminology (as well as getting observed by half a dozen teachers and administrators). We have worked on review sheets, colored fish, and made sure vocabulary was done.

Most of the material covered in this unit will be seen over and over in future units.

Parrotfish are part of the nekton because they swim. They are omnivores because they eat coral (animal) and algae (plants). This fish is a male because it is more colorful than its female counterpart. Some may consider this warning coloration because it will chomp on things that try to mess with it. An odd part of their niche is that the coral they digest is where most of the white sand in tropical locations comes from.

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.
