Today we started a lab: Solute Concentration of Potatoes lab. The lab is found HERE. If you were away, you will have to collect the data from someone.
We also worked on quest review for our quest coming up on Friday- This is on Cell Membrane and transport and Enzymes. See last class blog entry for the practice quest and answers.
Today we took notes on Natural Selection . The note sheet from the first section is HERE and the power point is HERE. The second section note sheet is HERE and power point HERE. Next we finished off our lab from Friday. The lab is HERE and data table below. See the histograms video for how to make the graph. This lab will be due on THURSDAY, March 13th.
Today we finished off ENZYMES. See the note-sheet and power point from Friday. Also check out the video below for a review of ENZYMES.
All Module answers are HERE. QUEST on cell membrane transport and enzymes is coming up on Friday, March 14. Practice test is found HERE and answer key HERE.
Today Ms. Rodman was away, but we started a new "mini-unit" within the unit on the cell membrane and transport. The power point is HERE and the note sheet HERE. These questions go with TEXTbook chapter 6.2 and 6.3
We answered some questions found HERE. (Enzyme questions- starting on page 5: up to #11 )
We also watched the enzyme video below:
Today we worked on Evidence for Evolution and on a lab. First we used THIS note sheet to take some notes on the five pieces of evidence for evolution. We used THIS power point for the notes.
Next we started a NATURAL VARIATIONS lab looking at the distribution of traits in a population. This lab is found HERE. We will finish collecting the data and make our graphs on Monday.
Today we had a guest- Teal, from the Food Commons Project. She talked about the vision for the project and about DIRT!! If you missed the presentation, go through her slide show found HERE. We will work on some soil questions next week.
Today Ms. Rodman went over ways that things can get in and out of cells with and without energy (ATP). She finished the power point HERE with THIS note sheet.
Module questions for this sections were given out as worksheets each day. Answers to the module questions are HERE. Module questions are found HERE. (We have done up to page 4). Video below shows good examples of how things move across the cell membrane.
