animal phyla activities

brandon — 2006-07-13T08:13:00-05:00

This is a house dust mite, an arachnid which is about 250 to 300 micrometers in length (2.5 x 10-8 m). Its food source is your skin. Which phylum is this group of animals in?

Hello eumetazoa. In case you forgot, you are not in these phyla: porifera, cnidaria, platyhelminthes, nematoda, annelida, mollusca, arthropoda, or echinodermata. Echinoderms are dueterostomes, but they do not have segmentation as adults, and have 5 fold radial symmetry. You are a deuterostome too. But you have a post anal tail. So you are a chordate.

Anyway, now that you have a new description for yourself, or any vertebrate, check out these great activities:

1. First up, make sure that your brain is ready to get moving like a u-haul. We are talking serious aerobic respiration.

2. Then, make sure that your group mates are engaged, and ready to learn knowledge.

3. Then, click the following link: animalia activities.

4. Once that opens, you will need to log in. name: newtrierbiology. password: open.

5. Now find chapter 18: the evolution of animal diversity on the pull down menu.

6. Then click on "activities" in the upper left hand corner of the window. Hint: It says "activities".

7. You will see three links, 18A, 18B and 18C. You will first do 18A.

PART ONE
8. When 18A starts, make sure you click the "review" button, not the "quiz", at least not yet.

9. With your entire group of students each writing information down before moving on, go through each example of organism from the pull down menu. For example, start with "sponge." A table will show up that provides a lot of helpful information to KNOW, and write down so that you can study it.

10. Go through all of the examples (sponge, jelly, planarian worm, hookworm, snail, earthworm, grasshopper, sea star, dog), and WRITE DOWN info on each one. Make sure that each individual student does their own work. Do it like hair.

PART TWO
11. Before moving on, take out the table I gave you with empty spaces for descriptions of each phylum, and fill out as much information you can from the notes you just took in this activity!

PART THREE
12. In 18A, change from "review" to "quiz," and try the quiz. Each of you need to get a chance to try it. If it is not your turn on the computer, watch and learn from your group members knowledge and mistakes. Keep watching even after you are finished. You will learn. You will. But if you do not try and stay disciplined, you will not.

PART FOUR
13. Change to activity 18C, by clicking on "activities" again, and then 18C!
14. Here, each student will try to answer the questions that come up on the screen. Others watch and learn, even if it is not there turn (that rhymed). You will need to click "next" in the upper right window to move to the next animal representative!

OK you are done, but if there is time, try 18B. Check it out like a library book.

You can do all of this stuff on the internets from home, the library, etc.! It is not like wow, it's like whoa.

January 2006. 3,500,000,001 years or so since the oldest fossilized organisms found so far were actually alive.

brandon — 2006-01-04T10:18:00-06:00

It's not like wow, it's like whoa. Overstand?

January 2006 is also 1.5 years since the organism shown below was born.

DNA has been around for over 3.5 billion years!

brandon — 2005-12-12T10:48:00-06:00

DNA, RNA and the genetic code is the same in all organisms we have ever discovered! The variation between organisms both here today, all that have ever lived on earth is based on the differences in length and order of the information contained in the DNA of the cells of these organisms. The source of this variation is mutation, and the result of mutation is natural selection which leads to evolution.

Biology cannot be stopped.

December begins.

Snow is falling, yet there are still many organisms replicating their DNA. Cells are dividing, and chromosomes are condensing.

The sun is getting weaker, farther away, and lower on the horizon. Deciduous plants are losing their leaves. You are learning about plants and breathing the oxygen they make. What a coincidence.

Update: Stanford 0-2 versus Univeristy of California teams this football season.

brandon — 2005-10-31T12:05:00-06:00

Stanford University lost it's second game of the season to a UC, this time UCLA. Back on September 17, 2005, Stanford was beaten by Division II UC Davis, my alma mater. Stanford will play the Cal Bears on 11/19 in Palo Alto.

Although most of us already knew this would happen, we would like to point out that the University of California, Davis defeated the Stanford Cardinal 20-17 in the first football game played between the two in 73 years.

Growing up in Berkeley, and earning my masters degree there, I have always been a Cal fan (they beat Illinois 35-20 yesterday, and are 3-0), but I learned a lot about not being able to stop biology at UC Davis from 1991-1995. UC Davis. I see Davis.

In related news, Stanford may lose to three UCs this year in football (UCLA 10/29, and Cal 11/19), which may be a record. If not, it is still fun to talk about.

Update: Cal defeated Sacramento State 41-3. Unfortunately, Nate Longshore, the bears starting qb, went down with a broken fibula and is out for the season.

The University of California Golden Bears take on the Sacramento State Hornets today at Memorial Stadium. Alas, I will not be there, but my brother Shanan will represent. Go Bears.

In related news, the University of California, Davis Aggies will be taking on the $tanford Cardinal in two weeks. Go Aggies.

It is mid-August, just before the school year starts here in Illinois. The summer has been quite eventful for me. After leaving Berkeley High, my home for the past 5 years, I left town, quickly crashed my car outside of Winnemucca, NV, and moved into a new house with Stephanie and Skylar. Things are hot, humid, noisy from the cicadas, and very green thanks to all of the beautiful trees.

I have been working on the house all summer, and it is coming together nicely. Skylar turned one last month, and she is doing great. Bear and Casey like all of the squirrels, and the hot dogs are excellent.
