Today we did the Macromolecule Murder Mystery. Who was the killer??? Lab should be completed with a conclusion by the end of class. Next we finished off the power point notes for cells and watched a wee movie explaining why cells are so small. Cells and Organelles TEST next Wednesday, Sept. 4th
Today we set up a lab and completed a formal lab: The Nature of a Burning Candle. This is found on page 176-177 of your text book. Make sure your lab has: Title, purpose, hypothesis, materials and procedure, data and observations, and analysis and evaluation questions. Complete the questions in full sentences for Friday. (You will have some time to work on them in class on Friday)
Today we finished off the notes in the CELLS and ORGANELLES power point. Next we watched possibly my favorite Crash Course video below.
Today we did a chemical and physical properties/changes and classification of matter practice quiz. Next we went around the room and looked at examples of elements, compounds, heterogenous and homogenous mixtures. QUIZ tomorrow!!
Today we worked on the plant and animal cell colouring. Turn these in when done. Next we worked on Cell Organelle Module Questions up to and including endoplasmic reticulum. Answers to module are found HERE. (You will need to scroll through the biomolecules unit to get to cell questions).
Today we reviewed Chemical and Physical change by thinking about some different situations found at the end of THIS power point. We also did the lab on page 169 of our textbooks and recorded some physical and chemical changes. We also got a practice quiz to help us prepare for our quiz on Tuesday on pure substances and mixtures and physical/chemical change.
Today we got our Biomolecules Test back. If you didn't write it, come prepared to write it on Monday. Next we took notes on CELL structures. The power point is HERE (we got up to mitochondria). The note sheet is HERE.
Read Chapter 3.3 in your textbook and start on module if you want to get ahead. Module questions are found HERE.
