Before the break:

• We wrote a quiz on section 2 and 3 of our unit

• Read up to page 71 and completed the check and reflect questions on page 65
• Processed data from a wolf study and plotted this data on a chart/graph

WHAT WAS THE HOMEWORK OVER BREAK? Check and reflect page 65, and defintions for all key terms from section 4; due for homework check this week!

YOUR UNIT TEST ON BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY WILL BE ON THE FOLLOWING DATES:

Report card note:
* Biological diversity is an important unit in grade 9 Science that cannot be rushed. We will not finish the unit before the first report card therefor your term 1 report card mark will be based on quizzes, homework checks, and marks on assignments such as the "Our Ecosystem" project.
