Last lessons Objective	Moss and Ferns	Evaluation
Today’s Objectives	1. Challenges of adapting to land 2. Introduction to Gynmosperms and seed plants
Topic Number One	Looking at the online references below, can you find some common themes? We have discussed both the need for water for photosynthesis and reproduction. We have already discussed a change in reproductive strategies. Yet there is the change in atmosphere on the planet and the presence of nutrients on land. There is also the concern that, with time, plant had to figure out a means to defend themselves from being eaten. Plant also adapted their structures and life cycles to live with animal species
Topic Number Two	The advantages of being a seed bearing plant Read the following resources and record key points about advantage of having seeds http://www.shmoop.com/plant-evolution-diversity/gymnosperms.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermatophyte http://www.herbarium.usu.edu/teaching/4420/ferngymn.htm

Today’s Objectives

1. Fetal blood flow

2. Contents of blood

Topic

Number One

Please refer to class notes.

Key points

What are the specific adaptions to supplying a fetus with blood?

What are the structural changes for

a) the fetal heart

b) the fetal venous system

c) the fetal pulmonary system

d) the umbilical cord

The mother is supplying the fetus with her blood.

Is the blood coming in as a venous or arterial supply?

How does blood contents get transferred via the placenta?

What does umbilical supply to the liver?

Topic

Number Two

· What is blood?

· Blood is both a liquid and a cellular tissue. Why?

· What is the difference between plasma and serum?

· Why can’t you directly transfer blood from on person to another.

· The ratio of liquid to cells in blood is 55 to 45. How and why could this ratio change.

7.2 In text

Topic

Number One

So if the history of the earth was a meter stick, when did the earth begin and when did humans show up?

Geologists use radiometric dating to estimate how long ago rocks formed, and to infer the ages of fossils contained within those rocks. The universe is full of naturally occurring radioactive elements. Radioactive atoms are inherently unstable; over time, radioactive “parent atoms” decay into stable “daughter atoms.”
