Bell Ringer: Choose an organism card

In your notebook write three distinguishing characteristics describing your organism.

Pair Share: Show your organism to your partner. Explain your observations. Write down two additional observations that your partner sees.

Identify your organism using any of the following websites: http://people.virginia.edu/~sos-iwla/Stream-Study/Key/Key1.HTML http://www.dnr.state.md.us/streams/pubs/freshwater.html http://www.epa.gov/bioiweb1/html/benthosclean.html http://www.ncsu.edu/sciencejunction/depot/experiments/water/macro/ http://www.deq.louisiana.gov/portal/Default.aspx?tabid=1968 http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/35772.html http://zebu.uoregon.edu/~dmason/rivsci/aquabugs.html

Once you have identified your organism have Mrs. Murray or Ms. Grant check for correct identification. When correctly named fill out the inside of the card.
