Science 9

Today we practiced using a microscope and did two labs:  The Microscope Lab and Viewing Mitosis under the Microscope Lab.  Both should be turned in.


Next we took some power point notes on mutations and cancer. 
Make sure page 56 #1-7 is completed.

You should have worked on your mitosis model (you can finish tomorrow if not done). 
Page 70 #1-9 (omit #3)

Science 9

Today we continued with cell growth and reproduction by learning about Mitosis....the process that body cells use to replicate.   Is it a coincidence that Anna taught us about ANAPHASE??    We did a mitosis cuttin' and pastin' assignment, due at the end of class.       Page 57 #1-7 is due next class if you didn't already turn in. 

Biology 11

Today we prepared for our Field Quadrat sampling lab by looking at densities of different "plant" species scattered around the classroom.   Make sure you bring your randomly assigned grids as well as a calculator, some sunscreen and decent shoes to walk around in on Thursday. 

Ecology quiz coming up on Friday.  Formulas for Population Growth,  Density and Rate of Change of density will be given. 

Science 8

Today we got to work on the Earth Science Review since we are done our last unit!!!

Next we started a project on Earth Science.......I'm excited to see all your creative ideas.

Test on Earth Science is Tuesday next week.   Project is due for class viewing on Thursday. 

Science 8

Today we finished off the Plate Tectonics Unit by looking at Earthquakes and Volcanoes.

Power point on Earthquakes found HERE.   Volcanoes HERE.

Biology 11

Today we left the Animal kingdom and jumped over to the Ecology Unit.....we will be doing Ecology all this week with a quiz on Friday.   Next we did a little mathy math with the populations worksheet.   The first 2 pages of this worksheet were due at the end of class.
