Sponge, Coelenterate and Worm Phyla Study Guide

Don't worry I'll protect you from the Typo Police!
Its FLASH to the rescue!!!

Coelenterate, Sponge
and Worm Phyla
Study Guide
by Mr. Carrison (Ok, and some help from the Typo Police)
Gates Intermediate School - Scituate, MA

The following was pieced together from two study guides so there may be some duplication.

As always, caution as this blog has not as yet passed the scrutiny of the Gates division of the dreaded
Typo Police!

Use this study guide wisely. I hope you are entering into your notes any information you are unsure of after attempting to answer some of the questions found below. Trying to answer the questions below is an excellent way to test your knowledge on what you will find on Wednesday’s test. After this test we will probably have only two more tests before the term closes. Let's finish up strong!

Special THANKS to Ariel D for her help spell checking!

Remember that for the best test results use a re-certified pencil from Mr. Carrison's Used Pencil Euphonium. All pencils guaranteed to be F free or some of your money back!

Flash says the answer to #2 is B - but then again he is a trickey hound! Hum........

Team D vs Intro to Animals Ch 12

Ahhhh!

My brother, my old dog Barney and I with blue fish 20+ years ago.

Why is this plant incroaching upon my territory?
I thought we were done with the plants!

Hey look at me! I'm a chordate modle!

Picture taken in front of Ms. Sabonis' home.

Good luck on tomorrow's test! Bring me in a bone for good luck!

34. There will be 2 MCAS questions about animals on this week’s test. Check out http://www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/search/default.asp?YearCode=%25&GradeID=%25&QuestionCategory=&FormSubmitted=yes&ReportingCategoryCode=%25&ShowReportingCategory=&originalpage=0&page=0&answers=&intro=no&advanced_search=yes and put in 8th grade, science and technology/engineering, multiple choice and then words like animal and ??? Hint, some questions will be about:
~Animal observations – differences between raccoon, lizard, cricket and frog
~Food webs

Attention chordates and closed circulatory organisms from period 4 and 6 – there will be only TWO MCAS questions on the test. The other 6 questions from the MCAS web site and essay question are only for the few chordates that can NOT be respectful AFTER they take their science tests. These are questions to keep them busy and amused thereby keeping them quite!

As always, NO llamas, evil cats or hen-weighs were harmed in the design or
implementation of this study guide blog!
