 Today we watched three quick videos on the life cycles of stars:

                                                        (Just up to the low mass stars)

Next we went to the IT lab and worked on an assignment:  Stellarium Lab.  Go to https://stellarium-web.org. to do this lab.  

We also worked on our exam reviews.  CHEM    PHYSICS  and   BIO UNITS

Selected answers for        CHEM        PHYSICS        BIO

 Today we wrote the Genetics/DNA test.  Next we made a scale model of the solar system.......to be finished off on Monday.   Next we watched these three videos:

Science 10

Today we watched part of the Documentary "What Darwin Never Knew".   We watched about 52 minutes.

Next we worked on our visual dictionaries and our Biology Test Review.   Answers to part of the test Review are found HERE.    Biology Dictionary is due on Thursday and the Practice Test is due Friday.  

Science 10

Today we covered the last topic in Biology:  The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.  We watched these videos 

Next we got some notes found HERE on evolution.  Finally we played a survivor game to look at how natural selection works.   Complete this lab and turn in and then work on the visual dictionary.   We got a practice test for the Biology Unit Test coming up on Friday.  

Science 10

Today we finished off Genetics by completing the Power Point from yesterday.  We looked at incomplete and co-dominance.   Next we did a lab on genetics and made our own "Alien Babies" using THIS assignment.   

Finally we got a Chemistry and Physics review for the final exam.  Answers are HERE for Chemistry and HERE for Physics.    Make sure you are using your data booklet.  

Science 10

 Today we started with a video on CRISPR Cas9.  One technology used for gene editing.

Next we took some notes on Mendiellian Genetics:  Notes found HERE.   That go with THIS power point.  

Finally we did some genetics problems by studying Sponge BOB's genes.  Worksheet is found HERE and answers are HERE.  

Science 10

Today we took notes on mutations- chromosomal and gene mutations.   The note sheet is HERE and the power point HERE. (starts on slide #33).    Next we did this worksheet on mutations and the answer key is HERE. 

Science 10

 Today we finished off our notes from Friday using the power point started on Friday.  Next we extracted DNA from a strawberry using THIS lab and the video below:

Science 10

Today we practiced some radioactivity questions in preparation for the QUIZ tomorrow.  Next we finished off the Biology notes from yesterday on DNA- RNA.   Finally we built some mutant (and normal) bees based on their DNA structure.  

Science 10

 Today we finished off Radioactivity by working on this review.  Next we started our BIOLOGY unit by starting on this power point with these notes.   Next we built our own DNA model using crafty items...............

Science 10

Today we looked at Half-life of radioactive elements.  We took notes on this found HERE.   Next we practiced these with the following worksheet and watched a video on Carbon dating.  

Next we took some notes on Fission and Fusion found HERE.  Finally we watched some videos on nuclear energy.

 

Science 10

Today we wrote our energy test.  Next we took notes on Alpha, Beta and Gamma decay found HERE.  Next we did some practice problems on this and then watched a video on the most radioactive places on earth.  

Science 10

Today we started a short unit on radioactivity.  This is included in the Energy Unit, but won't be on the test.   We went through a power point and then did a lab with "cornium" atoms in order to determine the half life of this material.  Finally we watched a short video on radioactivity.
