Grade 7 Week 8: "Advanced" Invertebrates

This week we finish our look at the diversity of invertebrates by looking at the more complex phyla: mollusks, echinoderms, and arthropods.

Compare and contrast the different phyla of invertebrates that we have discussed.

The insect collection is out to showcase invertebrates. Take a look at it and take another look at some of the EC Challenges like the birding photography or the aforementioned insect collection. You are also more than welcome to give a few suggestions on similar projects that showcase a diversity of living things. All are done just like we did the herbarium: collect and describe.

Week 7 contracts can be found here.

Kayla,

Echinoderms are "spiny skinned" invertebrates like the sea star, sand dollar, and sea urchin.
