Biology Resources - Week 4
Week 4 HW - Invertebrates
Kingdom Animalia: Focus on Mollusks
Study this week’s concepts by reading ACE Everything you Need to Know to Ace HS Biology chp 31.
Add some of these words to your “Is it Alive” Bingo board to fill in the last missing boxes if you have any missing spaces: from ACE chp 4 archaebacteria, eubacteria, protista, fungi, plantae, animalia, vertebrates, chordates, binomial, from ACE chp 31 invertebrates, sea sponge, sessile, porus, fera (Latin), hermaphrodites, buds, cnidarians, cnidocytes, monoecious, flatworms, parasitic, fragmentation, carnivorous, herbivorous, segmented worms ,
Oral Report Steps: Begin taking notes either using Ms. Lisa’s note-taking form or creating your own system in which you record important bibliographic information about your source AND the facts you find. DO NOT CUT AND PASTE. That’s how you end up accidentally plagarizing your source (i.e. stealing info without crediting the source.)
Recommended BONUS review:
Review Week 3 concepts by reading Levine & Miller’s Biology Foundations chp 2.1 “Nature of Matter” read the lesson summary on pg 14-16
Isotopes chart on pg 15 & chemical bonds chart on pg 16
Preview for next week’s lesson on properties of water
BONUS home-fun
Watch any of the 64 videos from Deep Marine Scenes: Mollosks facts.
For ELH tickets, take notes on any of these mollosk phyla videos that interest you.

Biology Resources -Week 5
Water is Weird (Properties of Water)
Miller & Levine Biology Chp 2.2
Week 5 Homework - Water Properties
Review Week 4 about invertebrates by sharing your in-class notes about mollosks with a parent or sibling
Study Week 5 concepts by reading Levine & Miller’s Biology Foundations… workbook chp 2.2 Properties of Water pages 18-20
Oral Presentation: finish taking notes either using Ms. Lisa’s note-taking form or creating your own system in which you record important bibliographic information about your source AND the facts you find. Do you need more information? Better sources? Find additional credible sources and take notes on them if needed. (Next week you will organize these.)
CREATE either a comic strip, poem, song, model, or skit to explain one of these weird/special properties of water.
I have videos posted next to each topic to help you recall our class discussion and lab experiments. All of these topics are also covered by the Amoeba Sisters Properties of Water video and the Levine & Miller Biology Foundations… workbook pg 18
Surface tension - why water sticks to itself - relate this to polarity (less than 5 minute helpful videos here: AK Water Features: Surface Tension, Surface Tension Khan Academy, Surface Tension by Crash Chemistry Academy, BBC,
How water can defy gravity (cohesion, adhesion) via capillary action (Insight Loop - Capillary Action ) (Crash Course #2 Liquid Awesome minute 2:45)
Water is the best/universal solvent - relate this to polarity (Why Water is the Universal Solvent - Digital Classroom)
Why ice floats - what do hydrogen bonds have to do this that and why does ice floating matter? (Ted-Ed Why does ice float? George Zaidan, (Ted Ed- Christina Kleinberg), Crash Course #21 The unexpected truth about water minute 5 to 6), Minute 7:45 of Crash Course - Liquid Awesome)
Heat capacity (ADLC Elementary Science: Heat Capacity) (Minute 9:00 of Crash Course - Liquid Awesome)
Polarity - what is it? (Crash Course #21 The unexpected truth about water minute 0 to 3:25)
PREVIEW FOR NEXT WEEK:
Watch 2 minute overview of crustaceans
Optional: if you want to dive deeper here’s an 8 minute video about arthropods (of which crustaceans are one group)
