DUE TODAY: Study Card 13
ENTRY TICKET: What 3 things can be learned from a finished cladogram?
LEARNING TARGET: 13. Create and interpret a simple cladogram
IN CLASS: Finish and interpret your animal cladogram. Review of everything so far.

DUE TODAY:
ENTRY TICKET: AFTER you finish test - Review your learning targets. Which specific concepts were easy for you? Which were more challenging? Why? How will you approach the next unit to insure your success?
LEARNING TARGET: 1-13 :)
IN CLASS: Take TEST, turn it in. Use the handout Unit 1 Cell Structure and Function: Cell Tour to estimate your proficience with each topic listed. First, write what you remember. Then, on a scale of 1=no clue, 2=have heard the idea, 3=remember doing this 4=I know this! estimate your current understanding. You may use your pretest on Schoology, questions 2-9, as evidence.
