Esme's post

I love this class because I am learning about a lot of cool stuff like the five parts of the animal kingdoms and I'm going to learn more cool stuff like that.

The Sponge

I learned there are two layers in the sponges body.I am curious to learn more about the planaria.I am excited to dissect the snake

zebra mussel

I learned the zebra mussel is a freshwater mussel.
I want to learn more about the planarians.
I'm  curious about the hydra and the Planarians.




Week One Class

I really enjoyed class last week because we went around the room and tried identifying plant species.
I thought it was amazing that so many bugs and worms lived on earth.
I would really like it if sometime in the future we would be able to go to the UW and check out their collection of micro wasps.
Also I wasn't able to make a post so I decided to just write a comment instead of a post.

The Sponge

I thought that the sponge was very interesting because there are so many types of Sponges and how some Sponges live in saltwater and some live in freshwater. 
I am very excited to dissect the sponge because it looks very interesting because it can compress into a very small size and then expand into a larger size.
I am also very excited to dissect the snake because it will likely have different animals in its stomach that it had eaten, so it's like two animals in one.

Dissecting invertebrates

I think all of the animals that where going to dissect this week are very interesting because they are different than any thing we have or will dissect. The reason I say that is because they are invertebrates and don't have any bones at all. This interests me because you can dissect them in your own home, and the fact that they move with no bones. 

i can't whit to dissect the Hydra

dissecting the hydra is going to be so much fun i can't whit. i want to learn more about the hydra.
