-I can describe the characteristics of each of the four kingdoms of Eukarya
-Plants/Plantae
-Animals/Animalia
-Protists/Protista
-Fungi

-I can recognize the methods that protists use to move when I see them

Important skills:
Students will be able to observe living protists using a microscope and identify their method of locomotion
Assessments and Projects in Addition to Weekly Test:
Onion Skin Lab- Create a slide in order to view the cell wall structure and write lab report
Live protist lab-observe protists in action and identify which method of locomotion they are using. Lab report.
