 Hi Bio Besties!   I have now left the building and you are in Mr. Roskam's good hands:) 

I left him lots of things to do with you, so here is a list of what will happen and links for when I'm away.  

Wednesday/Thursday April 24-25:  Outside protist in pond water collection!  Time to search the world for little critters in water.  We are looking for single celled EUKARYOTIC creatures (but you might see other things as well).  When you come back from your collection walk, you will be doing a lab.

Friday, April 26:  Protist lab with SLIDES of the creatures.   The lab is found HERE.   Notes taken on the board. Notesheet is HERE. 

Monday, April 29:  Protist Colouring Sheet found HERE.  Protist Review found HERE.  And Check answers to Protist Review HERE.    Homework: Read page 74-79.  Answer understanding of concepts page 80 #1-17

Tuesday, April 30: We started FUNGI!!  with THIS power point.  Next we worked on the Fungi Colouring.  This is found HERE.  

Wednesday/Thursday, May 1-2:  First block: Fungi Lab.   Second block: Finish off power point notes from last class.  Next finish off Fungi Colouring and turn in before you leave.   Homework: Read page 88-91 in TEXT

Protist/Fungi Quiz coming up next week on your double block.  Amoeba sisters have a good VID!

 Here is the work for the 7 days while I'm away:)   Keep up with the work load so that you don't get bogged down later!! 

Wednesday, April 24

Earth Day Fair!  I'm sad to miss this and hope that you get to present to lots of students.  Remember:  Food bribery will bring people in:).  

Friday, April 26

Starting off with a written reflection of the Earth Day Fair.  What worked well, what didn't?  What would you change for next year?  Next uni Water Sustainability:  Water Cycle Assignment found HERE.  Use the video below to help you.  

Next start on the video below

Monday, April 29

Do the Local Water Ways assignment.  (only a hard copy given out).  You can work with a group to try this.  It's tricky!

Tuesday, April 30

Start the Human Impact of Rivers Project.  It is found HERE.   There is an exemplar from last year's class HERE if you want to check it out.   You will get a chance to work on this in your double block as well.

Today we wrote our bacteria quiz.  Next we reminded ourselves how to make microscope drawing and calculate actual size.  Here are the notes from the board

Next we started protists:

 Today we looked at the results of our Antibiotics vs. Bacteria lab and recorded the results in a table.  We don't have all the information for E. Coli since it needs to grow some more in the incubator.  

Next we worked on the bacteria review ---For the QUIZ ON TUESDAY and watched the video below on antibiotic resistance.

 Today we learned how to use sterile technique in the microbiology lab.  See the first 4 minutes of the video below.  Next we did a lab:  Antibiotics vs. Bacteria.  We finished off the Abundance and Distribution of Bacteria lab and turned it in as well as the Prokaryote colouring worksheet.  Finally we got a review for the bacteria quiz coming up on Tuesday, April 23.

Life Science 11

 Today we finished taking notes on bacteria.  Power point is HERE.  Next we worked on prokaryote coloring (from yesterday's post).  This is due in your double block.  Also due in your double block is the distribution and abundance of bacteria lab with results (as a graph) and conclusion.

 Today we turned in the animal taxonomy poster project.  Next we took some notes on bacteria found HERE. (We only did up to and including conjugation).  Next we started a prokaryotic colouring sheet.  This is found HERE.  

Life Science 11

Today we wrote our taxonomy quiz.  Next we looked at the results of our abundance and distribution of bacteria lab found HERE.  Make sure you bring your lab back to school next week to write a conclusion and make a graph of your data.   

Finally we worked on our Animal taxonomy project HERE.  Make sure you are able to finish this up by Friday's class.
