Read ahead in the textbook and workbook on mollusks, echinoderms and arthropods. Be sure to try the concept check up questions in section “I” of the workbook and refer to the answers in the back of the book.

Study for test (see previous post). Be sure to utilize the workbook (section H) and the textbook (chapter 26 and 30-1), as well as the notes, diagrams, etc, that we have covered.
