Hydra-is a simple fresh water genus, reproducts by budding, and its cell structure is made out of gland cells

=Monocots and Dicots= Stem Slides

Above is a monocot stem cell. It has ground tissue which stores carbohydrates used by the plant, and it has vascular bundles which are a transport system.

This is a dicot stem cell. It has a pith which is the central portion of the stem, a cortex which contains stored food, vascular bundles which are a transport system, and and epidermis which protects the outer part of the plant. Herbaceous Dicots / Herbaceous Monocots 1. tomato / 1. Indica 2. carrot / 2. Arundo donax 3.Aster / 3. Poaceae

Woody dicots / Woody monocots 1. Oak / 1. Date Palm 2. Maple / 2.Coconut 3. Sycamore / 3. Sugar Palm

Monocot or Dicot Trees
Brendon 1. sugar maple-dicot-because the veins are branched 2. devil's club-monocot-because the veins are parallel Shayla 1. Elm- dicot- because the veins are branched 2. Box Elder- dicot- because the veins are branched Haley Doster 1.Witch Hazel/dicot-because the veins are branching. 2.Beechwood/dicot-because the veins are branching. Lana 1. Live Oak--dicot--because the parts of the flowers are in multiples of four and the veins are branched. 2. Redbud--dicot--the leaf veins are branched. =Food and Fiber= Live Oak-- we can eat the acorns and the tree produces oxygen. We also use the wood for structural beams. Redbud--we can eat the flowers and the tree produces oxygen. We eat tomatoes carrots and apples. Maple trees give us maple syrup. Elm- it is used for water pipes Box Elder- is used to make good syrup Sugar Maple- it is one of the major sources of sap for maple syrup Devil's Club- is a good source of firewood or timber. Witch hazel-it is a good source for astringent. Beechwood-it is used for furniture frames, and carcass construction. Poaceae- is used for staple food grains and cereal crops Sycamore-used for furniture, and instruments. Indica-used for mangos. Date Palm- produces dates which humans can eat. Sugar Palm- produces the ice-apple which humans can eat. Coconut-produces coconuts that we can eat. Arundo donax-can be used to make paper, and fishing rods. It is used for reeds in woodwind instruments Oak- the wood is used to build many various things; the wood chips are used to smoke different foods

=Candy Classification= Gummy Bear-Ursa gummius Jawbreaker- The Dichotomous key labeled the Jaw Breaker the same as the Atomic Fireball Spherus combustus. Starburst- stellria explodus Jolly Rancher- Joyous rancheria Tootsie roll- Tutus rollus Hershy Kiss-Chocolatus cyssan Fireball- Spherus combustus Saltwater Taffy- Saltus Taffinia Mint- Mintus stripus Butterscotch- Ranunculus scotchus Dum Dums- Moronus moronus

=Candy Lab= 1. Why is it better to have only 2 choices at each step instead of more? 2. What problems did you encounter in using the dichotomous key? Be specific and discuss fully. 3. How did you resolve your problems in #2? 4. Do classification keys go from general to specific characteristics or from specific to general characteristics? Explain why. 5. What does the first and second part of the Latin name represent in the scientific name of the organism? 6. Carolus Linnaeus laid the foundation for the modern scheme of Binomial Nomenclature. 7. Dichotomous Key is a method of determining the identity of something by going through a series of choices that leads the user to the correct name of the item. 8. Binomial Nomenclature is the informal system of naming species. 9. Briefly describe how classification has changed before and after Linnaeus? 10. List the order of classification groups from Kingdom down to species. Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

1. Why is there foam at the top of C but no at the top of B or A? 2. Why are they all different colors? 3. Why is it cloudy at the bottom of A, but not at the top of it? 4. What is the blue liquid? 5. Why is it dripping faster in A, the in the other two? 6. Why is B clear but the other two are not? 7. What are the ingredients used in the sample?

In Flask C the yeast is eating the molasses and expelling carbon dioxide. The Carbon Dioxide mixed with the Bromothymol Blue and made the acid which turned the indicator yellow. In Flask A the yeast has nothing to eat so it expels nothing. In Flask B their is no yeast. =Skittles=

=Data Analysis= We chose a graph of data that shows the rate of High school dropouts in the years 1967-2004. A reason that this data might have been collected is because they might have wanted to predict the trend for future years. Here is a link to to the swivel website: []. The data shows that there are usually more male dropouts over female drop outs. Also, dropout rates have gone down since 1967. For example, in 2004 there were 266 total male dropouts, and 220 female dropouts. We think that the dropout rates have decreased because in 1978 the drop out rate for males was 7.5, and in 2004 the male dropout rate 4.7. In 1975 the dropout rate for girls was 6.1, and in 2004 the dropout rate is 4.0. The total dropout rate for girls and boys in 1967 was 5.2, and the total dropout rate in 2004 was 4.4. A good question to ask would be why the dropout rate has gone down, and why there are fewer female dropouts.

=Twig Lab= 1.) Our twig is about two seasons old. 2.) The growth in length of our twig was not the same for each season. 3.)The grow rate might not be the same form season to season because of growing conditions, there might have been a drought, or not enough sunlight. There could have been to much rain, or an infestation of pests. All of these thing can effect how well a plant grows. 4.)There are two leaf scars located at a node. 5.)The leaf arrangement for our twig is opposite. 6.)There are at least 3 nodes produced each season. 7.)Yes there is the same number of nodes each growing season. 8.)All the scars have the same number of bundles, and the arrangement is the same. 9.) The location of the lenticels are in the internode, and the form of them are a small round dots. 10.)They absorb carbon dioxide and expel oxygen.



11. The largest scales on the bud are on the outer. 12. The largest scales are located there to protect the rest of the inner bud. 13. The scales on the bud are arranged opposite like the leaves. 14. Yes, there is a relationship between the arrangement of the bud scales and the leaf scars.
