Anatomy and Physiology 12

Today we wrote the water/acid/base/buffer quiz.  Yahoo!  First quiz done!

Next we worked on our Buffer Lab.  This lab with a conclusion is due on Monday.  

Finally we finished all the notes on carbohydrates and built our own glucose molecule.  

Power point is HERE and note sheet is HERE.    

Science 8

Today we had a great discussion about the meaning of our first unit:  Biology.  What does it mean to be alive?  What characteristics do all living things share?  We took notes on this.

Next we watched a video as introduction to microscopes.  The video is found below:

Finally we labelled the parts and functions of a compound light microscope.   These parts and functions are found on page 12.  

  

Science 8

Today we did some review of Scientific Method and did a test your own hypothesis lab.

First we did THIS worksheet to practice the steps of Scientific Method.  Next we worked on THIS lab to test our own hypothesis about reaction rates.  

Make sure you have completed this lab for homework with a graph and a conclusion.

See yesterday's blog post to read what we did in the double block!

 

Anatomy and Physiology 12

Today we did an acid/base lab to determine which Antacid was the most effective against stomach acid.  The lab is found HERE.  Bring the lab back to complete on Friday if you need to.  

Next we continued with notes on Biomolecules and we had a great discussion about CARBOHYDRATES!!  Power point is HERE

For homework:  Read Chapter 2.4 and complete Module Part C, but only C i) Overview and C ii) Synthesis and Hydrolysis

Modules found HERE.  

Practice for water and acid base QUIZ-----happening on Friday!!  found HERE.  

  

Anatomy and Physiology 12

Today we did a little demo on different household acids and bases using an acid and base indicator.

Next we looked at a small section of our notes on organic chemistry and functional groups.  The power point is found HERE- goes along with yesterday's note sheet.     

We finished the water lab from last class and then did a FUNCTIONAL group handout.  This handout is found HERE 

You should also have completed the module questions Part A and Part B.  We went over some of the answers in class.   

Science 8

Today we wrote our SAFETY QUIZ.  Great work everyone!  Next we completed our tour of the classroom looking at lots of scientific equipment.  Make sure you keep the handout with pictures of the equipment for future reference!

Next we went through the power point notes on Scientific Method and finished filling those out.  The notesheet is here and the power point is here.  

No homework today, but here is an interesting video on the placebo effect.
