Squid Lab Preparation:

1. Draw and label a diagram of the squid showing all the organs of the mantle cavity.

Continue reading/studying the nervous section notes, text and workbook section.

Complete the Clam lab and bring to class next day.

Continue to work on the NS review package and reading (text and workbook).

Finish the Clam lab (2-1 and 2-2) and the Mollusks handout (1-4).

5 diagrams of clam anatomy are due.
