3RD PERIOD ZOOLOGY - Week of 9/12

This week in Zoology, we will conclude our study of protozoa. Students have a study guide with the topics to be covered on the test which they will take on Wednesday.

Tomorrow, we will use the microscopes again to view and draw protozoans (both preserved and live).

On Thursday, we will start our unit on Porifera (sponges).

Below are the topics to be covered on the Protozoa test. Click the link to see them.
