Great Job, Biology Students!  You are working so hard as we learn about invertebrates - even flatworms, roundworms, and segmented worms!  You are beginning to verbalize your observations, from "oh, wow!" to "I never knew there was so much to a worm!"    You are using scientific vocabulary with ease and even getting over the "gross" factor!

This week we will begin to learn about Echinodermata (spiny-skinned invertebrates such as starfish) and you will be fascinated by the incredible beauty as well as the amazing body structure.

We will not have a quiz this week but will keep up with new vocabulary.
