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!

Jelly fish, sponge, frog, sand dollar, amoeba, Flash, starfish
10. What type of plant tropism is a response to:

- Water
- Light
- Touch
11. How many hours are in a day?
+Seconds in a minute
+Days in a year
+Weeks in a year

List 5 animals that have this type of symmetry.
14. Define radial symmetry.
List 5 animals that have radial symmetry?
15. Define asymmetry.
List 3 animals that exhibit asymmetry.
16. What is phloem and what does it do?
17. What is xylem and what does it do?
18. What is a hydrostatic skeletal system? What animals use this skeletal system?
18. The S___________ protects the soft body parts of some animals.

22. What does nocturnal mean?
23. Know 3 animals that are nocturnal.
24. Coral and sponges show what type of symmetry?

27. We know the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic, do you?
>Which kingdom(s) are ONLY prokaryotic?
>Which kingdom(s) are ONLY eukaryotic?
>Which kingdom(s) are both?
28. What kingdom’s members are all autotrophic and eukaryotic?
29. The statement: “This is an awesome study guide” is a quantitative or qualitative statement?
30. Review your food webs!
31. What organisms are producers.
32. What organisms are consumers.
33. For each of the following statements, indicate if they are qualitative of quantitative.
~Bailey should buy many, many more cheap used pencils from Mr. Carrison’s Used Pencil Euphonium.
~The price of Pepsi has gone up 12% in the last 3 weeks.
~Flash is about as smart as a hammer handle.
~Ms. Sabonis takes great pleasure in annoying me and teasing poor old drooley Flash the Wonder Hound.
~Colleen and Elizabeth, Tess, Shara and Zoe all love their old John Deere tractors.
~Brandon is planning on buying 3 dozen plastic pink flamingo lawn ornaments for his Mom for Mother’s Day.
~Molly took 6 ½ pages of notes during the last 5 days of class.
~Kylie wore a pretty red dress.
~McRae is 7’ 2 1/2” tall.
~Pencils are 25 cents each or 3 for one dollar.
~The pschyo Typo Police found only 5 spelling errors on this week’s study blog.
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!
