Science 8

Make sure your two cell diagrams (from Thursday) get completed, labelled and coloured and turned in tomorrow.

In class today we looked at our own cheek cells and did a lab determining their actual sizes.  Make sure you bring this lab back tomorrow, but it doesn't need to be finished.

Remember to bring in your left over Halloween candy for edible cell building.  

Biology 11

Today we did two labs looking at Bacterial colonies.  The first was staining E. coli and B. subtilus to see bacteria that are gram positive and gram negative.  That lab (Staining and Observing Bacterial cells) is due on Tuesday with questions completed.

The next lab was: Antibiotics and Bacteria.  We cultured our two strains of bacteria and added different types of antibiotic discs to see their effects on E. coli and B. subtilus

Today we collected pond water and looked at it under the microscope.  We saw some cool stuff which we drew and then calculated sizes for.   Your cell diagrams are due on Tuesday.  They should be coloured and labelled.   They are found HERE and HERE. 

Biology 11

Today we looked at our rapidly growing bacteria in the Distribution of Bacteria lab.   This isn't due yet, we will culture it a few more days.  Next we answered some questions:  Diversity and Biology of Monerans.   This is due tomorrow if you didn't finish it in class.

I also collected the Prokaryotes Colouring Sheet

Today we got back our subatomic particles quiz.  Next we completed our Microscope Lab and determined the actual sizes of three organisms.  Homework:  Read page 6-11 do the reading check on page 11. 

Biology 11

Today we did a quiz on viruses,  took a few notes on bacteria: mode of nutrition and respiration, next we gathered some bacteria for the Abundance of Bacteria lab.

Today we did a quiz on subatomic particles, finished our atom models and started a microscope lab.  Make sure you bring the lab back on Monday.
