I want to remain accountable to you, the reader. Do you really do the activities suggested here? Yes! Today we went over the slideshows mentioned here in the post. Then the teens worked on their comparison charts and paper dissections. As they work, these kids ask questions. What is the toxin in the nematocyst? How do jellyfish digest their prey? Are their gonads specialized or hermaphroditic? I hedge my answers. Usually the gonads in jellyfish are either male or female. Biology was my undergrad major. There always seem to be exceptions. The kids started the paper dissections, too. Yes, there is still a colossal mess. I am so excited! The kids are very engaged. They are working at home to improve their paper dissections. I’m saving these models to use as examples next year.
