Earthworm/Human Comparative Anatomy Project

Submitted by tbest on Tue, 05/19/2009 - 19:27.

While learning about biological taxonomy, our 9th grade bio/chem students took a closer look at taxonomic similiarites and differences between the earthworm and human.  Students then dissected the earthworm and researched some of the worm's body systems.  The final aspect of this project was to prepare and present a digital portfolio comparing the taxonomy and anatomy of the human to that of the earthworm.

 

I've attached the student guide, teacher unit plan, and a sample of student work.
