Opening the book…
Objectives: Introduce students to the diversity of animals, help students get to know major groups, discuss evolution of animals and position the kingdom in the tree of life.
Major animal groups are represented in this lab, with a discussion of phylogeny and evolution of animals. Pull sheets contain specimens, models, slides, and posters in use at Evergreen Valley College. Lab may be modified depending on resources and availability of specimens at adopting college. If lab is modified, ensure adequate representation of major groups (porifera, cnidaria, lophotrochozoa, ecdysozoa, deuterostomia (echinodermata and chordata)).
Crayfish dissection can be done with the animal tissues lab (chapter 29) if time is of concern. Students can be advised that they will get much more exposure to chordata (vertebrata) in the dissections in chapter 30.
