Day 6 - Living Things Day - Mrs. Scelsi - Marshall Simonds 7th Grade Science

Today was "living things" day.  Thank you so much for supporting your students in bringing their living things to school.  We had representatives from the Animal Kingdom (birds, guinea pigs, geckos, boa constrictor, hamsters and fish), the Plant Kingdom (venus fly traps, dusty millers and a wide variety of other plants), the Protist Kingdom (red algae, amoeba, slime mold), Kingdom Fungi (yeast and mushrooms) and the Eubacteria Kingdom (acidophilus).  We had a great time investigating the various attributes of these organisms!  We will be delving a little more thoroughly into the characteristics of living things this week.
