Independent Learning Unit – PLANTS – Chapters 22, 23 & 24
**There will not be specific assignments given each day. However,
there will be checkpoints and quizzes given periodically to encourage
you to keep up. Mrs. Brannen will explain involved topics (life cycles
of moss, fern & angiosperms) The rest of the learning targets you are
responsible for on your own (reading, vocabulary, workbook pages,
labs and computer activities) and she will be available for questions.
The assignments are grouped according to chapters. All assignments
will be turned in as a portfolio for a project grade. Each one should be
titled as they are here.
