Science 8

Today we continued to add to our power point notes on Scientific Method.  Next we look at the results of our gummy bear add and added some qualitative observations to our results.  We will make a graph of mass and length change next class.  Make sure you have completed the scientific method practice questions.  There will be a quiz on Scientific Method next week.  Online practice of Scientific Method Found HERE.  Questions #2-11 are for YOU!!  Practice #2.   Practice #3.

Science 8

Today we started our Gummy bear lab and collected the data required to write a conclusion.  Bring your lab back on Friday!!    Next we practiced the scientific method by doing a worksheet.  Finally we watched Bill Nye!!   Cells

Biology 11

Today we had a quiz on cells and organelles.  Next we did two microscope labs.  Make sure you have figured out how to determine actual size of an organism.   Next we started watching the NOVA documentary on the origins of life on earth.  We will keep watching on Friday.

HOMEWORK:   Make a table with the 3 Domains and 4 Kingdoms:  Archea, Bacteria, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia and Protista.  List some representative species, type of cells (uni or multi-cellular), mode of nutrition and type of reproduction for each of these categories.
