Here is a place for you, the students to visit, explore and learn. This blog will give you the oppurtunity to expand your learning experience outside the walls of the classroom. Check daily for new posts and assignments.

hey peeps! felt like commenting :]
well anyways i will start researching things soon so that our podcast as in me and vikkitor's BEASTS!!!! cchhhhyyyeahh
Protists (IPA: /ˈprəʊ.tɪst/ (RP); /ˈproʊ.tɪst/ (GenAm)), Greek protiston -a meaning the (most) first of all ones, are a diverse group of organisms, comprising those eukaryotes that are not animals or plants. They are usually treated as the kingdom Protista or Protoctista. The protists are a paraphyletic grade, rather than a natural (monophyletic) group, and do not have much in common besides a relatively simple organization (unicellular, or multicellular without highly specialized tissues). Essentially, the Kingdom Protoctista is made up of organisms which cannot be classified into any other kingdom.
Protists were traditionally subdivided into several groups based on similarities to the higher kingdoms: the animal-like protozoa, the plant-like algae, and the fungus-like slime moulds and water moulds. These groups often overlap, and have been replaced by phylogenetic classifications. However, they are still useful as informal groups for describing the morphology and ecology of protists.
At one time, bacteria were also considered protists, under the three-kingdom system of Animalia (corresponding closely to the modern kingdom), Plantae (which included Fungi as well as plants), and Protista (everything else). See kingdom (biology)
he Kingdom Protista contains both unicellular and multicellular organisms. The majority are microscopic. The kingdom can be separated into three major categories: animal-like (protozoa), plant-like (algae), and fungus-like organisms (slime molds, etc.). They live in aquatic habitats and most eat bacteria, other small organisms, or particles they find in the water. The algae, however, are autotrophs.
This activity allows students to design and carry out an experiment related to the Kingdom Protista. It is intended to encourage as much student-driven learning as possible about this fascinating kingdom. Initially, students will observe several protists under the microscope and attempt to examine and identify them. Then they will spend a day in the computer lab researching some questions about protists. Finally, they will use this information to develop a question and test hypotheses concerning the kingdom.
This project provides a fun and interesting way for students to learn about these tiny creatures. Protists are fascinating to watch under the microscope, and experimentation with them often requires few materials and little time. You will be amazed at the ideas students come up with for their projects!

why id u tell me to come on
what do we have to do i dont get what we have to do
??
oh ; we have to start looking up information

=] animal protists
For this podcast, your group must
1. Identify the characteristics of your Protist group.
2. Identify and briefly describe the different types of Protists in your group.
3. Explain the different ways the Protists in your group move.
4. Explain how the Protists in your group affect other organisms.
5. Predict what the world would be like without the Protist group you have been assigned.
those questions dudes and dudettes
heyy yal

what did u get so far
so how do you want to start the script?
we can say like
hello, this garage band production was made by anna and victoria
OTHER GROUPS DONT COPY!!!!!!!!!!!
