I am out today so you are to work your way through this page. This is independent QUIET work. Please be good for the sub.
TASK #1: Start out by doing warm up 7.10 in schoology
READ the following sections (scroll down) on today's animal phyla and WATCH the short videos included in the readings
Complete the web quest and submit it to schoology
Grab headphones and watch the video (then put headphones NEATLY away)
If time, play the game at the bottom of this page
(Sponges)
The simplest of all the animal phyla. These simple, brainless animals eat by filtering water through their pores and feeding on tiny organisms. They are Asymmetrical, so they have no body symmetry. The young are mobile and will "plant" themselves in a place where they will remain for the rest of their lives.
The video has a LOT of important information. Don't skip it!
Examples of different types of sponges:
(Jellies, Anemones, and Corals)
In addition to the adaptations that sponges have, Cnidarians [Nie-dare-ee-ans] have specialized tissues and radial symmetry!
They do not have brains but function through a series of actions and reactions. They have one opening that is used both as their mouth and for eliminating wastes. This opening is surrounded by tentacles that are used for directing food into the mouth for digestion.
(Flatworms)
In addition to having specialized tissues like Cnidarians, flatworms have bilateral symmetry and a primitive brain. Think of them as "flatty helmets" to help you remember that they are flatworms and they have a head region.
Bilateral Symmetry: Mirrored left and right sides
(clams, snails, slugs, octopi)
Mollusks are the first animals to have a true body cavity to support organs. They all have soft bodies, brains, bilateral symmetry, and specialized tissues and organs.
Some animals in this phylum, like the octopus, cuttlefish, and squid are highly intelligent and have been shown to have the ability for complex problem solving and reason!
Examples of Mollusks:
(Roundworms)
Round worms were the first animals to develop a body cavity or coelom in addition to everything the flatworms developed. They have primitive organs, a protective outer layer or cuticle, and bilateral symmetry.
Some nematodes are parasites.
If it asks you to log in, just use your school google account. It's approved.
If you can't get the Quizziz to work, you can do another version of it here:
If you have done everything AND have studied for the test, then you can do work for another class.
