Today we wrote a short quiz on Transcription-Translation. Be able to turn DNA- mRNA - amino acids.
Next we made some mutant beeeeees! Everyone got one type of bee from THIS activity and we made a class beehive.
Next we did a mutations worksheet. This is found HERE.
We watched the video below about gene editing to cure sickle cell anemia
Today we wrote the PLANT TEST!! Nice work photoautrophs.
Started animal kingdom: Read page 116-119. Do concept check on page 118 #1-4 and page 119 #1-3.
Today we continued with DNA! First we did some practice with transcription and translation. This worksheet is found HERE. (page 2 only). Next we took some notes on mutations. The notesheet is HERE and the power point is HERE.
Next we did a lab on DNA extraction. See the video below for an idea of what we did. The lab is HERE.
Finally we watched the next 15 minutes of what Darwin Never KNEW below:
Today we finished off the notes on Angiosperms. First we completed the last slide of the power point found HERE. (page 10) Next we watched the life cycle of angiosperms video found below. Finally we did the SEED PLANTS LAB found HERE and turned in.
Today we finished off our DNA notes by looking at transcription and translation. The power point is HERE and notesheet HERE. Next we did THIS worksheet which is due on THURSDAY.
Next we watched the next 15 minutes of what DARWIN never knew.
Today we finished off the plant unit by taking notes and answering questions about ANGIOSPERMS. We wrote out the notes from page 8, 9 and 11 of THIS power point. Next we did the seed plant questions found HERE. These are due tomorrow.
Finally we watched the video below to help us learn the angiosperm life cycle.
Make sure you work on the plant kingdom review due FRIDAY which is also PLANT TEST day!!
Review is HERE and answer key HERE.
Video:
Today we did a Fern Lab found HERE. Next we took some notes on SEED PLANTS. Power point is HERE. (only the gymnosperm/conifer section) Finally we did some seed plant questions. Do #1-6 on THIS sheet.
Plant kingdom test coming up next FRIDAY. Review is HERE.
Watch the video below for conifer info!!
Today we wrote the radioactivity quiz. Next we started the BIOLOGY unit with a review of DNA structure and function. The biology unit notebook will be collected for a mark at the end. The power point is HERE and notesheet HERE.
We also watched the first 15 minutes of the video below: What Darwin Never Knew:
Today we did the Fern unit. Power point notes are HERE. Fern questions are HERE and Fern vs. Moss lifecycle is HERE.
Videos below:
Today we had a special guest from UBC and we worked on our "sustainable dream home" on Tinkercad. Make sure you practice for the radioactivity quiz. Practice quiz is found HERE. Answers are below:
Today we finished off the moss unit. First we practiced the moss life cycle. Next we wrote the last couple of pages of notes found HERE. Finally we did THIS practice sheet. Answers are found HERE.
Today we practiced the concepts learned during our radioactivity unit. We got the unit review found HERE and did practice half-life problems. These are HERE. Next we watched the Nuclear Energy movie below:
Today we got deep into the plant unit. First we wrote THESE notes on the board. Plant overview. Next we filled in THIS notesheet with THIS power point.
Next we did the moss lab found HERE.
Finally we started on some moss questions. These are HERE.
We also watched the bryophyte video below:
Today we took some notes on half life. These notes are found HERE. Next we did a lab on half lives this is found HERE.
Today we had a little bit of study time before the PROTIST PARTY!! Protist quiz time.
Next we finished off our bacteria lab and then went outside to collect some moss for the MOSS lab coming up on THURSDAY.
Finally we had some book work: Read page 97-98. Do concept check #1 on page 97 and concept check #1-4 on page 99.
Video below on NON-VASCULAR plants:
Back to NUCLEAR PHYSICS!! First we went over the Alpha, Beta, Gamma worksheet from yesterday. Next we watched the three videos below:
Today we started a "mini unit" on radioactivity. This unit combines the chemistry and physics units!!
First we took THESE notes next we did THESE practice questions to review the 3 types of nuclear decay reactions.
Complete the first page of the practice questions for tomorrow.
Today we got THIS lab rubric which we used to write up a formal lab report for the distribution and abundance of bacteria lab.
The parts of the lab that you will need to write up are: Introduction, Graph, Discussion Questions, Conclusion, References.
Protist QUIZ tomorrow. HERE is the practice quiz and HERE is the key for it.
