Computer Lab

Fungus Computer Activity



Part 1

Please set up your computer and open word.

You will be creating lifecycle presentations for the following genera: Rhizopus, Saccharomyces, and Agaricus.

How you go about this is entirely up to you. You can create a slide for each step in the lifecycle and explain what is happening and why, you can create a diagram in paint and insert it onto your slide and then include your explanation, or any other method that you may wish to do.


You have all of the information in your notes and you should be able to get all three created today. Part 2 will follow tomorrow and will take the entire period so do not take the approach that you will finish Part 1 tomorrow because you will not finish the entire project if you do so. Friday I will grade what you have NO EXCUSES!!!!

Friday's Test

Mr Graham completed his tenure with us today. He gave us the test on Protists. The scores were ok, but not great. I know the end of the year is coming but we still have work to do!!!!
