Science 10

Today we did some quick questions based on the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom or ion.  Make sure you can used your periodic table to determine these.  Next we worked on our genetics posters.   THESE ARE DUE TOMORROW!!   Make sure you have given me a list of questions (2 at least) that someone should be about to answer after looking at your poster.

Today we watched a short video to review viruses.   Next we worked on our Microbiology Project.  This project is due on March 13.

Biology 12

Today we watched a review of enzymes video and then did some enzyme practice questions.  Your Diffusion Across a Semi-Permeable membrane lab conclusion is due tomorrow.  Your paragraph should include:  Which biomolecules were able to diffuse across the membrane?  Back this up with data from your lab.  Comment on why these molecules should diffuse across.  Explain any sources of error.

Today we started the Chemistry Unit with a bit of review...….Determining the number of atoms, electrons or neutrons in different atoms.   Next we had some time to work on our Genetics Posters.  These posters will be due on Wednesday this week.

Biology 11

Today we wrote our test on Evolution.  It was LONG!   Make sure you bring in any materials you need to make your virus particle if you are doing choice B in the microbiology project. 

Biology 12

Today we wrote our QUEST on cell organelles and transport mechanisms.   Next we finished off the sausage lab (rates of diffusion across a cell membrane).   You will have time to complete this on Monday.   We will work on Enzymes next week.

Today we played the Cell Games you created!!   Super fun and educational....

Next we made some little cells with dialysis tubing to test for different molecules passing across the membrane.     QUEST on Friday on Organelles and Membrane and Transport.    Module Questions:  Unit 1 Topic 3 A)Transport Mechanisms in Cells answers.
