Finishing up Molluscs

Today is the shell practical for Unit 4 on Molluscs. Students will get a cup with a question and a shell and see what they remember about all the molluscs covered in this unit. Most students enjoy the challenge of this unit even though it is a lot of information to remember. The benefit of the practical is that it really cements the knowledge into their brains so the next time they go to the beach they will know what seashells they are finding.

Students took the Unit 4 Mollusc Test on Friday and did very well on it. These are the last assignments that will be included on the nine weeks grade.

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.
