Today we did a red blood cell lab. Found HERE. Next block we did work on our cell module questions. We got some practice questions HERE and answers HERE. Finally we got THIS assignment we started today and will finish off next class.
Module Questions on the Cell and Organelles are due on TUESDAY. QUIZ on cell and organelles is on Tuesday. Module answer key is found HERE. You need to scroll through to get to the cell section.
HANKS BEST VIDEO:
Today we started our next unit on cell organelles. We went through THIS power point and filled in THIS note sheet up to cytoskeleton. Do the module questions (the second part - Cells) found HERE up to Endoplasmic Reticulum #2.
Today we took notes on Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. Next we completed our Plant and Animal Cell Lab found HERE. Homework: Read page 14-16 answer concept check questions page 15.
Today we wrote a quiz on the microscope. Next we looked at plant and animal cells under the microscope and calculated actual size and magnification of our drawings.
Today we wrote our first testerooo on Biomolecules. Read chapter 3 in your textbook for a preview of what we will look at next week.
Today we completed our macromolecule murder mystery lab. This lab write up is due next week- Thursday, Sept. 29th. Components for this lab report are: purpose, materials and methods, data and observations and conclusion.
Lab report guidelines are found HERE. Next we practiced identifying biomolecules in a police line up. Good power point to practice is found HERE.
Today we had an unexpected change of plans:). First block we reviewed the microscope parts and function and how to do calculations. Worksheet found HERE and ANSWER KEY
Today we chatted with the Alberta college and university recruiters. Next we checked the page on our notes from last week where we needed to draw some cell organelles and describe their functions.
Quiz on Friday on parts of the microscope and calculations to determine actual size of objects under the microscope and drawing magnification.
We got our quiz back on characteristics of life and key themes in biology.
Today we worked on review for the biomolecule test coming up this Friday. We worked on completing all the module questions for this unit, our test review and we got two new review sheets: Review 1 and Review 2 answers to review 2 found HERE.
Today we wrote a Quizeroooo on acids, bases and water. Next we finished notes for this unit by taking notes on proteins and nucleic acids. Review for the unit was given out. It is HERE. Answer key HERE.
Today we took notes on Lipids and then did a biomolecule lab where we look at standard tests for starch, simple sugars, lipids and protein. Save your data until next week!
Module questions to complete: All the carbohydrate questions and lipid questions. (skip protein)
Today we went over the homework questions from yesterday on page 8 in textbook. Next we took notes on cells and then started a microscope lab that we will finish tomorrow. Microscope lab is found HERE.
This video is a good way to visualize the progression of life on earth:
Today we took notes on carbohydrates. Next we built our own glucose molecule. Do all the
iii) Carbohydrate module questions up to polymers- do the monosaccharide and disaccharide questions.
Answers are found HERE.
Today we took notes on characteristics of life and themes in Biology. The note sheet is found HERE. Next we used our text books to finish off the table in the notes and completed the assigned questions from page 8. Watched a video on jellyfish living forever
Today we took notes on BIOMOLECULES and looked at monomers and polymers and reactions that form or break apart polymers. Module Questions (C) i) and ii) should be completed for tomorrow. If you missed the notes, the power point is found HERE.
Today we practiced being able to identify the independent variable, dependent variable and write a hypothesis. We watched the following videos on different experiments:
Today we finished off the power point from last class and took notes on acids and bases and water. We got the highly anticipated module questions and worked on Part A) Role and Importance of Water and B)Acids and Bases for Monday. Module questions found HERE. Use chapter 2 in textbook to help answer these questions.
Today we continued on the power point notes from yesterday. Next we had an exciting water contest. Homework: Read Chapter 2.1 and 2.2 in your textbook. Answer the check your progress questions for each section.
Today we looked at Scientific Method with THIS power point and THIS note sheet.
Next we went to our first sit spot to make some observations about a living thing of our choice.
Today we got our course outlines. Please have them signed by parent/guardian. Next we did a partner assignment on Language of Science. This isn't "for marks" only bragging rights! Keep the prefix/suffix sheet it is helpful. Found HERE.
Finally you told me a little bit about yourself with THESE questions.
Today we got our course outlines and went over the routines of class and how to save the earth being sustainable in class:)
Next we got our text books: Inquiry into Life
Then we did THIS note sheet with THIS POWER POINT to review the Scientific Method. Read the section in chapter 1 in the textbook on the process of science and do the "check your understanding" questions in the purple text box at the end.
