Today we watched the evidence for evolution video below and started EVIDENCE for evolution worksheet found HERE. If you want to check your VIRUS question sheet, answers are HERE.
Today we started notes on Evidence for Evolution. Power point is found HERE. Next we finished off our virus lytic and lysogenic cycles if we haven't done so yet.
Today we wrote the CELLS quest. Next we started DNA structure and replication. Power point is HERE, note sheet HERE and module questions HERE.
Today we took notes on BALANCING chemical equations. We wrote notes from THIS power point and did THIS practice. (page 3 and 4) We will have a quiz on Friday on balancing.
Today we reviewed some mixed naming of ionic and covalent compounds. This sheet is found HERE. Next we went over this together.
We got some practice for mixed naming. This sheet is due on Friday. We will also have a short quiz on Friday on mixed naming.
Lastly we worked on notes for CHEMICAL reactions. We did the first 8 slides from THIS power point.
