Module 14: Kingdom Plantae


Module 14: Kingdom Plantae

Checklist of work to be done by the beginning of class: 4/13/2020 Leaf Collection is due 5/4/2020

You can print this off and use it as a checklist.

If things go back to normal anytime soon, we will complete in person dissections during in person classes. After discussing it with Carlotta and Sandy, I am just not comfortable sending specimens home with scalpels and hoping for the best. A simple cut that sends you to the ER for stitches, can be so much more serious because of the possibility of exposure while getting stitches. Some of our members are practicing complete isolation because of family members with immune issues or age issues. That rules out getting together for a couple of classes to complete these labs. 

The videos I have chosen are VERY detailed and are more thoroughly taught than I usually manage because I’m constantly sleep deprived and missing terminology. These guys are both Professors but they’re teaching a high school level. 

If we do get the opportunity to get together later in the summer and have a Dissection Party, the videos should prepare you very well.

Exp #14.1: Leaf Collection




We are going to do a leaf collection. Minimum 12 specimens. 
THIS IS NOT DUE UNTIL MAY 4TH
I know many of the trees are not leaved out yet, that’s why the extended due date. Look at or print the last sheet of this lab and fill out the information for each leaf. The terms are explained in the chapter and on the slides. Use the terms from the chapter.

Include both the common name and the genus species name. For instance:
Sugar Maple
Acer saccharum
Leaf Collection:
Additional specimens = extra credit.
For every 5 additional Leaf Specimens, earn 10 extra points.
Maximum of 40 extra points.

Everything can be done on notebook paper if you do not have printing capability at home. Just be clear about what assignment it is and what number each question is. I am happy to print things for you and have them ready for "curb-side pickup" at the store (Comic Book World). They'll be in an envelope with your name. I can mail them but it costs like $2-3 each.

A great website with lots of information (not video)
Info about marine biology.
I am not choosing more videos for this module because of the heavy load of dissection videos.
