| Do
the following lab activity, "Survey of
Marine Invertebrates, Part 2." The
instructions for this lab are below, and this lab must be done in
the Biology Learning Center. There are worksheets for this activity
in your worksheet packet. When you have completed each step of the
activity, take the results to the front desk inthe Biology Learning
Center for lab points.
Equipment
and Supplies:
- You
will observe some of the organisms in the salt water tank in the
Biology Learning Center. We also periodically have a small saltwater tank set up, with different critters in it (we rotate different critters in and out of it)—So check out that tank, too!
- Refer
to Chapter 7 (especially Table 7.1) in your textbook as well as your textbook worksheets
to fill out your lab worksheets for the "Survey of Marine
Invertebrates, Part 1" lab activity.

This lab is a continuation
of the lab you started in Unit 4; the one where you observed 3
organisms in the saltwater aquarium.
Just
like in Unit 4, your lab activity today is to observe the organisms
in the tank and to pick out THREE organisms that belong to the
phyla and classes that you are studying as part of Unit 5. Each
of the three organisms must belong to a different phylum or class. |
|
- Phylum
Arthropoda
- Phylum
Ectoprocta
- Phylum
Echinodermata
- Class
Asteroidea
- Class
Ophiuroidea
- Class
Echinoidea
- Class
Holothuroidea
- Phylum
Chordata
You may
not be able to find examples of organisms from each of the phyla listed
above. Some of them might be too small for you to see; others may be
voracious predators that would eat everything in the tank! Still others
may be planktonic and therefore not well suited for life in a 75-gallon
tank.
