Angiospermae Lesson

 Read the Angiosperm Review Sheet  

(review sheet copyright Ms. V. Hui)

Have a look at the drawing I made for the lecture (below) and make observations from our school garden describing the morphology and reproduction of flowers.  Include all the vocab that you see here and read the evaluation criteria below

Go into the school garden and find the following items: Observe under the dissecting microscope   Dissect and draw. Hand in.

1. A flower with a stamen, stigma, pistil, petals

2. a fruit

3. a seed, is it a dicot or monocot? 

4. A leaf showing the *veins*

5. A pollinator: There is a dead wasp specimen on front bench 

Evaluation: 

18-20 outstanding, careful  labelled drawings. in colour

15-18 Excellent drawings, labelled. no colour

10-14 Very well done. Not labelled.

0-10  Good start. It's incomplete.

Observe plant specimens

 Go into the school garden and find a little sample to put on a petri dish. Observe these samples under the dissecting microscope.  Take a photo of your specimen and make the following observations:

1.  Identify as a bryophyte, sphenophyta, fern, gymnosperm, angiosperm

2.  What are some characteristics that you observe that help this plant adapt to its environment? Make notes and hand this in with your photos.

Geological Time Lab

 We will go over these slides on Geological Time 

Look at this link to find the answers to the worksheet

USE THE DRAWING PAPER AND MAKE COLOUR AND INK DRAWINGS OF SPECIMENS

Station 1 . Three drawings  

Draw two samples of Sandstone rock and one sample of shale.  Answer the following questions
1.  How is sandstone formed?  Explain how a fossil might be formed in Sandstone
2.  How is shale  formed?  Explain how a fossil can form in shale

Station 2.  Known Fossils  drawings . 
A.  COMPARATIVE TEACHING COLLECTION
Draw 7 fossils and also photograph modern day equivalents.  Label the drawings with the descriptions shown

B.  FOSSIL BOX .  
Draw 7 fossils from this box and also draw the organism it came from using an internet search.  Tell me what era it came from as well as its environmental conditions.  for example, if your fossil is a SHARK TOOTH, then the organism it comes from is a SHARK and it's environment is marine.

Station 3.  UNKNOWN FOSSILS 3 drawings
CHOOSE 7 fossils to identify.  Draw them and give evidence that you can identify the fossil using the known fossils.

EVALUATION.   34 marks total

fossil worksheet 10 marks - you completed the fossil worksheet and uploaded it with your NAME on it

lab portion total 24 marks 

21-24 marks - you make excellent drawings of the fossils which are in colour and carefully done.  Your work is outstanding. 

 3 drawings for station 1

14 drawings for station 2 and 

3 drawings for station 3. 

 You complete all your observations.    

16-20 - you completed all the drawings and it is not in colour .  Your drawings look great.  Or, you have beautiful drawings but did not complete all the drawings for each station.  

10-14 - This looks great and you need to complete the work

0-9 - this work is incomplete. 

Evolution Notes

 These are your intro notes on evolution, 

and also notes on
How evolutionary change occurs

ASSIGNMENT

DO TWO TASKS
1. WRITE A SUMMARY OF HOW SPECIATION OCCURS, WITH ILLUSTRATIONS.
Review THE BIRD video on the steps of speciation and take notes on this, outlining the steps.  You will be given a work period mark out of 5 for making notes in your own words for "How evolutionary change occurs" and also for the Speciation video below 

2.  NEXT, write a summary of the human evolution video
