Biology 11

Today we are finishing off the cell metabolism from last week.  We will have a test on all of Unit 1: Part A on Thursday, Sept. 26th.   The answers to the cell metabolism concept check questions are found HERE.   Next use the online text Unit 1: Chapter 2 to answer any remaining questions from your note sheet:  Characteristics of Life.   Remember that the Unit Text is coming up on Thursday.   You got several review handouts today to help you study.   If you didn't get a mark for your Domain/Kingdom table make sure you make a table with the 3 Domains and 4 Kingdoms.     For each of these list the type of cell (prokaryote or eukaryote), type of reproduction, representative species, mode of nutrition.

Thanks for talking about some Climate Action ideas today Biology 11 students.  Here are some pics....Sorry I didn't get all of you!   Reminder that your Cell Metabolism questions are due on Monday.  Use Unit 1 B link to textbook at the top of the blog.

Science 8---Block 3/4

Block 3/4 of Science 8 went to the computer lab and started to work on the conclusion of the Gummy Lab.   This should be done in ABCDE paragraph format.  A: State whether you accept or reject your hypothesis.   B: Background, tell me the overview of your procedure.       C: citation, refer back to graphs or tables to talk about results.        D: Discussion: Why do you think the lab turned out the way it did?  Try to explain your results.     E: Extension: Comment on the reliability of your results.   What would you change if you did the lab again?     The whole lab is due on MONDAY....with the data page, graph and conclusion.   

Science 8

Today we went to the computer lab to write up our ABCDE paragraphs for the Gummy Lab report.  When you are done, practice scientific method by doing the online escape room found HERE.  Also check back to last Friday's blog entry (Sept. 13th)  for more practice problems.

Today we completed notes on how cells obtain and use energy.   Use the link at the top of the blog for online text B to read up on how cells get and Use energy.    Next we prepped some climate rally booths to teach kids about climate change and climate change mitigation.   Useful websites below:

Science 8:  Block 7/8

Today we worked on the results of our gummy bear lab.  You need to complete the two graphs for homework if you have not done so yet:  1) Change in masses of gummy bears  2) Change in length of gummy bears.
