Today in science we introduced the review sheet for the science test next Wednesday. In addition to the review sheet, we handed out another terminology worksheet to help the students. We also did a CPS quiz today. Check out our resource page on basic ecology for further study information!
Have a great weekend and we will see you on Monday with your science collections!

Tuesday Class (10/20/09)
In science class today we looked at the end of the posted power point on what food webs look like. After that short explanation, we dove into our next set of stations on food webs. The 6 stations are as follows:
1. Hoo eats Hoo food web drawing...this will be available online soon!
2. A continuation of station 1.
3. Computer Station for online viewing of predator/prey examples.
4. Predator/Prey graphing activity (This will be available online soon!)
5. Owl pellet questions and analysis.
6. Finish owl pellet station.
Check out the resource page for more information on these stations including some of the documents.

Wednesday Class (10/14/09)
Today in class we accomplished three things:
1. Finished the actual dissection of the owl pellet.
2. Learned how to use skulls to identify the prey found in the pellet. Students then identified the animals in their pellet.
3. We started to sort out the bones that belong to the animal that they are going to reconstruct.
There is no homework!
