Today in class we first turned in the extra credit becuase it was a friday. Afterwards, we went over 4 kingdoms on the 6-Kingdom Grid (2nd page of unit 5 packet): Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, and Fungi.

Wallie's Favourite?

Who do you think Mr. Wallace's favourite student is from our class? It's such a vibrant group of people, but their must be one student who just makes him tick. So, let's discuss!!!

1-17

This is how I would like your class synopsis to be:

In Class today: We participated in a transmission activity that had us simulating body fluid exchange. We each had a cup filled with fluid that we eventually exchanged with 4 other people. Mr. Wallace then came around and put an indicator into the cup which tested to see if the disease was present. If it was, the solution turned a bright pink. We then washed our hands with this orange fluid that was supposed to help clean the indicator, but really showed us where we still needed to wash after we put our hands under a blacklight. We also watched a movie on bacteria, it structure and charcteristics.

For Homework: Read pages 487-500, extra credit article is due on Friday, and continue working on the kingdom cards which are due on January 29th.
