Today we reviewed the evidence for evolutionary theory with a cool video explaining how whales evolved from land mammals.
Today we took notes on Evolution from this POWER POINT.
Next we did a lab on the evolution of Barbellus found HERE. These are due at the end of class.
Homework is to list and describe in your own words the 5 pieces of evidence for evolution.
Videos watched in class:
Today we wrote our test on Scientific Method, Intro to Biology and Cells. Next we started the unit on Evolution by completing a worksheet on evidence for evolution found HERE. This is due tomorrow
Today we got a review for the Test tomorrow on Chapter 1 and 2 and scientific method. The filled in words on the review are found HERE. Make sure you also study the review you got on Friday.
Today we wrote a quiz QUIZEROOO on cell organelles. Next we took some notes on how cells reproduce. We got the test outline for the test on Tuesday next week. In the first block we worked on how to calculate the actual size of specimens and drawing magnification when using microscopes. Make sure you hold on to the Actual Size and Drawing Magnification lab to complete it on Monday.
In the second block we went for a walk in the woods to collect pond water. We are hoping to use it to observe some plant cells on Monday.
We started watching:
Today we practiced animal and plant cells by doing some relaxing colouring. Make sure you finish off the colouring for homework and label the numbered parts. Quiz tomorrow on cell parts and functions. If you need practice, you can find it by following these links: MATCHING GAME CELL EXPLORER Practice questions
We also completed the introductory microscope lab and started the lab to calculate actual size and drawing magnification.
Some entertaining cell videos if you want to sing along......or clap, or beat box:)
Today we continued to add to our note sheet on characteristics of life. Use the online text chapter 2 (up to page 13) to help you fill in organelle table and answer the skill building questions on the note sheet.
We watched two short videos to help us visualize the timeline for evolution of life on earth.
