Vocabulary List and upcoming quiz.

Today in class we started to wrap up the unit about biomes and ecosystems, so we addressed the vocabulary from the unit.  The vocabulary sheets should be completed, and will be checked on Tuesday 2/26.We still have a couple of short topics (dormancy and tropism) to address next week.

There will be a QUIZ NEXT FRIDAY 3/1 over the vocabulary from the section. Most students seem to have a good grasp on most of these words from when we covered them in class, but should still study them a little each night.
