Life Science 11

Today we looked at cells in all their GLORY!!   You should be able to distinguish between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes and know what all the organelles do.   We took more notes from THIS power point (the drawing of the cells) and we watched the Amoeba Sisters video below to do THIS worksheet.  Finally we  practiced recognizing organelles and their functions.  Come and see Ms. Wood if you need this worksheet!  -- Worksheet is due on Wednesday.

Life Science 11

Today we took a quiz on the microscope parts and function.  Next we started our cell unit with the first three slides HERE.  Finally we continued our work on actual size and drawing magnification with the microscopes.  Lab is HERE.    If you were away, try to do the practice questions at the end of this lab.  

Environmental Science 12

Today we continued with our work on reflectivity "box" to test the reflective properties of different materials.  Make sure you understand what ALBEDO is.  Here is the handout on Albedo.

Today we continued on with microscopes.  We finished off THIS lab from yesterday and started THIS lab to determine the actual size of objects using a microscope.   Watch the video if you were away to help you figure out what we did in the lab.  We also got THIS practice for the quiz on Friday answers are found HERE.

Environmental Science 12

  1. Watch the first two “units” of project Drawdown.  

They are found on the website:  https://drawdown.org/climate-solutions-101 

Videos are embedded in the middle of the page. 

 

Take notes on the main scientific points of each video and comment on the video, ie: was the information presented clearly with no jargon, did they understand the information? Do they think that the information has been peer reviewed? Are the sources sited? What surprised you? What did you already know? - they should take notes. Paper can be “scrap” paper, single sided. 

 

  1. For this section use the laptops (I have them booked) Next go to the solutions library on this website: https://drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions 

 

Have them work individually or in teams of two or three and explore this website. They should send (or share) a word document with me explaining: 

  1. How is the table organized? How can the columns be re-arranged?  

  1. What are 3 solutions you find interesting that you think could be implemented on a local Revelstoke level? Give your own explanation about each solution, explain why they make sense on a local level to implement them.  

  1. What are three other solutions that you find interesting- these could only be implemented on a federal level, or globally. Give your own explanation of each solution. Explain what you think Canada would have to do to implement them.
