You will be completing the two following assessment statements:
5.5.3 Distinguish between the following phyla of plants, using simple external recognition features: bryophyta, filicinophyta, coniferophyta and angiospermophyta.
5.5.4 Distinguish between the following phyla of animals, using simple external recognition features: porifera, cnidaria, platyhelminthes, annelida, mollusca and arthropoda.
So, let's begin!
Kingdom Plantae can be broken down into to main groups, non-vascular plants and vascular plants. You might be thinking, "ugh, plants." Well, plants are great and without them we'd be hard pressed to get all the oxygen we need (Thank you photosynthesis). You also need to learn about plants because you will be identifying plants on Academic Travel.

Click here to get to Mr. T's PowerPoint on topic 5.5. Start on Slide 14 (use the buttons at the bottom of the viewer to navigate). By clicking on each picture you can link to information about each type of plant.
Slide 15: Make this table in your notebook.
Slide 15: Fill in this table. If you're not sure what is meant by sporangia, look it up! Don't simply write things down if you don't understand them. You can also click back to slide 14 click on the image of the plant type to get more information.
And now, onto 5.5.4....
Click the picture below. This will link you to a website where you can click on each phylum that you need to collect information about. Not sure which phylums you need to know about? Look at your syllabus! (or just scroll to the top of the post).
Since this website doesn't have information about platyhelminthes nor arthropoda, you can find information about these two phylum, by looking at the links below.
Platyhelminthes
Arthropoda
If you finish this assignment, you can make flash cards or a review sheet for the test a week from Thursday.
