Biology 11

Today we turned in the Chordata questions and then worked on our cheat sheets.   HERE is a mock final to practice with.....careful, it is from the old curriculum so it is missing some details about DNA replication and cell biology.

Answers to multiple choice found HERE.

Today we finished off notes on Animals by looking at the Chordata Phylum.    We watched the movie on Chordates found HERE.

Chordata questions are due on Friday found HERE.

Science 8

Today we wrote a quiz on Plate Tectonics.  Next we worked on our Earthquakes/Volcanoes project.   This is due on Monday

For homework, you should be reviewing for the exam.  Use the following Unit Reviews in your text for vocabulary words:
Biology- Page 120-121 (Chapter 1 and 3 only) 
Chemistry-Page 346- 347 (Chapter 7 only)
Physics-  Page 232-233 (All except vision deficiencies in the eye)
Earth Science-  Plate Tectonics notes and plate tectonics map.   You will get a copy of the map for your exam.

Here is a practice exam to help you see the types of questions you could have.

KEY is here.  

Science 8

Today we did some plate tectonics practice in order to prepare for our plate tectonics quiz tomorrow.  Make sure you can explain: 1) Continental Drift (and give evidence for it)    2) Plate Tectonics (and explain how it works)    3) The three types of plate boundaries and what features are created at them. 
Here are some videos to help you review:

Today we wrote our eyeball quiz.   Next we took some notes based on a new power point: Plate Tectonics.

Assignments due today:  Pangea Map from yesterday.   And Interpreting Plate Tectonics Maps. 

Finally we watched a couple of videos on the Ring of Fire.
