Science 8

See yesterday's Halloween edition of Science 8

Science 8

Today we finished off Subatomic Particles.  We took a few notes on how to determine # of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom.   We did some practice questions on this.   These types of questions will be on the QQQuiz on Friday. 

Next we started the Biology Unit by learning the parts of the microscope and how to use it.   We looked a prepared slide of a Hydra and made a wet mount of some human hairs.   We will finish the microscope drawing next class. 

Biology 11

Today we went over the questions from yesterday:  Viruses, structure and nature.  We took a few notes on steps in the lytic and lysogenic cyles.

Next we got the microbiology project given to us and did some research on the lap tops to start off this project.   This project will be due in term 2  (November 16)

Today we spent most of the class finishing off the models of an atom.  Make sure you go through the criteria sheet for your one page write up that goes along with the atom.   These are due on Friday, November 2.
