Science 10

Today we got a few more tips on balancing reactions.  Next we did THIS worksheet and turned it in by the end of class.  

At the end of class, we watched the video below 

Life Science 11

 Today we reviewed for the VIRUS quiz coming up on THURSDAY.  We did THIS worksheet and THIS vocab review.  We watched the video below:

Science 10

Today we started balancing chemical reactions.  We took notes with THIS note sheet and used THIS power point to fill it in.  Then worked worked on THIS assignment.  Finally we did a lab:  Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions.  This is found on page 150 of the textbook.

See the video below to show balancing chemical reactions:

Today we took notes on the human immune system.  These notes are found HERE and power point is HERE.  Next we did a lytic/lysogenic cut and paste activity.  That activity is found HERE.  Finally we did a "viral speed networking activity.  This is found HERE.    

Science 10

 Today we got back our quests on Chemistry Review.  We also got a hand out to practice chemistry concepts.  Do Activity #1, 2, 3 and 4.  (Grab this from class tomorrow when you are back).  

Life Science 11

Today we took notes on Lytic and Lysogenic cycles.  See the power point HERE.  The notesheet that goes along with this was given out in class.   

Homework:  Read page 25-28.  Do concept check #1-3 page 26 and concept check #1-3 page 28.

 Today we did our CHEMISTRY REVIEW quiz.  First we did the quiz, next we did a lab on the law of conservation of mass.  Have a great weekend!

Life Science 11

 Today we wrote out QUEST on Cells and Intro to Biology.

Next we started the virus unit.  The beginning of the virus notes are found HERE.  

We also started reading in the textbook - first part of the virus unit.  Read pages 22-25.  Do concept check #1-5 on page 25

 Today we practiced for the unit 1 QUEST.  See yesterday's blog for links to the answer keys

Science 10

 Today we did more practice on our IONIC naming and formula writing.  We also added in COVALENT compounds.  See the video below for COVALENT compounds.

HERE is the answer key to the practice set.  

Science 10

 Today we took some notes on writing formulas and naming of IONIC compounds.  The power point is found HERE and the practice set is HERE. (do up to page 3). 
  Make sure you can do this with all three types of ionic compounds.   Tyler is below to help!

Life Science 11

Today we worked hard to catch up on any missed work from last week.   Make sure you work on the THREE practice sets for the unit one QUEST coming up on Wednesday.  The answer keys are HERE and HERE and HERE for those.   

Science 10

 Today we practiced LEWIS dot diagrams for ionic (metal + nonmetal) and covalent (2 nonmetals) compounds.  We worked on THIS worksheet.  Answer key HERE and HERE

Life Science 11

Today we worked on PLANT and ANIMAL cells.  The lab is found HERE.  

See the video below for a review of animal cells!!

REMINDER:  Unit 1 Quest:  Intro to Bio and Cells.   Wednesday, Feb. 11

Reviews are found HERE and HERE and HERE

Today we finished "The Microscope Lab" and turned it in.  See Tuesday's blog for the link.  Next we did the lab on Actual Size and Drawing Magnification.  This lab is found HERE.  

If you missed class, make sure you watch the videos below to understand:

1) How to focus properly with a microscope.

2) How the image moves and is observed when looking through a microscope

3) How to calculate total magnification

4) Know what field of view, depth of field and resolving power are

5) Know how to calculate ACTUAL SIZE and DRAWING MAGNIFICATION

Science 10

Today we finished off practicing subatomic particles and isotopes.  We did THIS practice and THIS one on isotopes.  Answer Key is on the second page.  

Finally we did the flame test lab.  This lab is shown below:

  

Science 10

Today we wrote our SAFETY quiz.  Next we worked on the ATOMIC structure simulation from yesterday, and took notes on ATOMIC STRUCTURE.  These notes are found HERE.  (Starting at slide #23)

Life Science 11

Today we took notes HERE and HERE to review cells, cell types and how cells get and use energy.  Next we started a microscope lab.  This lab is found HERE.  

Science 10

 First we took some notes on ATOMIC THEORY, these are found HERE.  Next we did an Atom model simulation found HERE.   This went along with the questions HERE.  Finally we watched the video below to get us excited about lab safety!!

Lab safety quiz tomorrow!!

Life Science 11

Today we took notes on characteristics of life.  The power point is found HERE.  Next we did a cell organelle table this is found HERE.   (We used a different textbook for this)

Homework:  Read page 10-13 in your text book.  Do Concept Check page. 13 #1ab, #2ab, #3a
