You will create a guide to understanding the classification and that define the Kingdom Animalia. Your guide will include the 9 major phyla, the level of organization present in the members of the phyla, the type of symmetry, body cavity plan (or lack thereof), and morphological development (protostome or deuterostome). This will count as an assessment grade for the first marking period. It is also vastly important to your understanding of classification by shared. It is designed to give you an overview of the various types of organisms classified as animals and their major defining. This is something that you have probably not addressed thus far in school, but which important to biology at the AP level.
Your project will cover the nine major animal phyla shown above. You will also include some classes in your project. For example, the phylum Arthropoda is so large that you will divide that phylum further into three of the Arthropod classes crustacea, arachnida, and insecta. You will also go into more detail with the phylum Chordata that s our phylum! You will include the 4 chordate and the following classes: Who can I work with and what is the project worth? This project will be worth a total of 76 points. This will be counted as an assessment grade. You can also expect a formal test on this material when you start school in September. You may work with one partner. You will present a portion of your project to the class during the first week of school. Your project presentation will be a separate grade.
Project Scoring Guide and checklist: Topic Completed: Topic Completed: 5 points Explain at least 5 animal types of Nematodes.

This will include an explanation of deuterostome morphogenesis as well as the echinoderm. labeled types of Echinoderms
