Final Post

Some of the key components and ideas in Biology 11 were comparing and contrasting evolution between different kingdoms and phyla. Others were understanding how different microorganisms, plants and animals reproduce as well as the common characteristics of each phyla. The only thing I would change is going over the homework before doing a homework quiz to ensure our answers are correct. The most interesting parts of this course were learning details about how how animals have evolved and why this happened. I also found the pond water lab very interesting as we saw living microorganisms moving under a microscope. I enjoyed this course very much. It was my favourite class! 

Aquarium Field Trip

This is a ray I saw at the aquarium. It belongs to the phylum Chordata and class Chondrichthyes. It is similar to other members in it's class because it is a cartilaginous fish, has gills, and paired fins.
