10/23 classification lab

In-Class:
Discussed classification systems. Students arranged shape cut outs into meaningful groups based on their similar characteristics. Tomorrow we will discuss, in detail, the history of our current classification system for living organisms.
Homework:
The few students who did not complete the classification assignment in class must complete it at home. You may use glue, glue stick, or tape to attach the shapes to the construction paper.\

We discussed the fact that while students may not receive written assignments each night, they are required to study their handouts and notes each evening for at least ten minutes. Low test scores most often result from a lack of study time at home.
