Life Science 11

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.

Today we wrote a quick quiz on the scientific method.  Next we set up our mold lab and wrote up our procedure and prepared a data table to start recording data.  

Next we got a note sheet on Characteristics of Life we then used the living vs. non-living power point and the cells power point to complete some of the notes.

Today we did more practice with Scientific Method.  First we looked at a simple experiment to test the hypothesis that the Earth is flat:   

The hypothesis was rejected luckily and we don't fall off!

Next we did some practice graphing and answering questions about an experiment with this worksheet.  

Finally we set up a group lab to test bread under different conditions to see what would cause faster mold growth.     QUIZ tomorrow on Scientific Method.   Practice sets:  Online Quiz #1

Online Quiz #2.      Online Quiz #3

Today I collected any signed safety sheets.  These are due on Monday, found HERE if you need a copy.  Next we reviewed the Scientific Method with a POWER POINT and note sheet to go with it.  

We will have a short quiz on Tuesday on the scientific method.  Make sure you can:  write a hypothesis, identify the dependent and independent variables in an experiment and explain how to test a hypothesis using a control group and an experimental group.  

We practiced the scientific method by completing the worksheet found HERE in groups.

Welcome back to school everyone!  We are so glad to see you all back in person.   Stay tuned for how the Biology 11 (or now know as Life Sciences 11) course will look.  Rest assured that I will stay on top of the electronic files so that if you have to stay home for any reason, there will material for you.  

The course outline is found HERE.  Please note that to avoid shared items you need your own:  calculator, clear plastic ruler and pencil crayons (along with pens, pencil, paper and binder).  

Science 10

Work for the week of June 1-5

This week we will be working on review of our Chemistry and Physics Units as well as lab work.  If you are here for the lab, we will be completing lab 2-H on page 180-182.   If you are not coming, that's ok!   Your assignment #1 is:  Conclude and Communicate #3 and #4 on page 182.   You don't need to have completed the lab to do this. 

Assignment #2.   Review of the Energy Unit found HERE.  

Assignment #3.   Build your own Rube Goldberg Machine.  Assignment found HERE.  Please send a short video with you explaining the energy transformations or write up separately.
