Biology 11

Today we took a few notes on our next Kingdom:  Protists.

Microbiology Project is due today at MIDNIGHT at the latest!   Next we completed Actual Size and Drawing Magnification Lab or started the Protist Colouring assignment (Due Wednesday). 

Science 8

Today we completed the Cheek Cell lab by making sure we understood how to calculate actual size of our cells.  We spent some time writing an ABCDE paragraph for the conclusion.  This lab is due on Friday. 

Next we watched crash course in Biology Cells.We also prepared for the making and edible cell by comparing and contrasting Plant and Animal Cells and Eukaryotic/Prokaryotic cells.  

Finally we went to the computer lab to write a review of an online game about cells.  Pick a game from one of the following websites and write in word: 1)A description of the game     2)What you liked about the game       3) What you didn't like about the game     4)Your score /10.    Share this with Ms. Wood on office 365 (swood@sd19.bc.ca)

Biology 11

Today we did some Quick Questions on bacteria.   Next we took a few short notes on specific and non-specific lines of defense against pathogens.   We completed a microscope lab (up to the middle of page 5) and turned in it.   Second block we worked on our microbiology projects....due on Monday!

Biology 11

Today we took some notes on bacterial reproduction and fighting pathogenic bacteria.

Next we finished the Antibiotics vs. Bacteria lab.  Make sure this lab with questions completed gets turned in. 

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

Science 8

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.
