Biology 11
Today we examined 2 ways that ecologist estimate the size of populations.
We completed a lab where we practiced using the Quadrat method.
After the break we discussed the Mark-Recapture method and completed our own trials using beans.
Both labs have a written component that is due on Monday October 15.
The powerpoint on the Mark-Recapture method is here.

Work you are responsible for this week:
Check Your Understanding pg 259 questions #2 - 6, 8, 10
Hand-in the lab report for Lab 7-4, Changing States of Water
We each built and tested a water distiller - next week you will complete your reflective report on the success of your distiller.

We have gotten a good start on the Ecology Unit.
We watched Being Caribou as it looks at the many biotic and abiotic influences on Caribou in Yukon & Alaska.
We have also made our way through the first set of notes on populations and communities.
Click here for the powerpoint.
So far in your textbook we have read pages 506-513 and completed the following questions:
page 508 # 5, 7, 8, 9
page 515 #10, 12, 14, 16

Science 8 (3/4)
Today I had 1 to 1 discussions with each student where we discussed areas of strength and improvement in their last 2 lab reports.
We then discussed the necessary elements of a complete lab report.
We worked collaboratively as a class to complete our current lab report for Lab 7-4 on page 256 in the textbook.
Students must complete the Analysis (line graph) and Conclusion (ABCDE paragraph) on their own. This report is due on Tuesday October 9.

Science 8 (Blocks 4/3)
We worked hard today on the foundational skills of a proper lab report.
Students wrote conclusions using the ABCDE scientific paragraph outline, and then workshopped and edited with a partner. They then used the data collected in last class during Lab 7-1 to write a complete lab report - including the finished copy of their ABCDE paragraph.
