Dear Parents and students,

It is almost time for spring break.  It is quite common for students to check out a bit about a month before spring break and then try to catch up again before the quarter ends.  If your student is in that category, I will still receive late work through Thursday of next week.  If it is turned in after that time I will not be able to grade it until next quarter!

________________________________________________

Here is our class schedule for the week:

Monday
UNIT 7 Individual test

Tuesday

For this project, you will select 12 species of protists and fungi. (3 protozoa, 3 algae, 3 molds and 3 fungi).

For each species, provide the following:

1) The scientific name

2) A diagram showing accurate colors of the organism with all its parts labeled

3) An illustration or image of the usual habitat or environment where each organism may be found

4) 5 interesting facts  about each organism

5) An explanation of how the organism reproduces

6) How each organism is either beneficial or harmful to humans

7) Must have a finished look (nothing sloppy)

You may have a partner for this project (2 people only).  You will have 3 extra days to work on this project when you return from Spring Break (4 days total).  This is a1500 point project.  Points will be taken off if all requirements are not met.
