Science 8

Today we worked on our Volcanoes/Earthquakes project.  We have some serious work going on here!

Remember that you Earth Science Review is due Monday and the test is Tuesday. 

Science 9

Today we checked answers to page 56 and 70.  Next we wrote a quick question quiz on DNA, mitosis and cancer.   Finally we took some notes on sexual and asexual reproduction.    If you need to watch the weird flatworm reproduction again, it's found below.


Sexual and Asexual worksheet is due Monday. 

Biology 11

Today we took a quick question quiz on Ecology.  Next we took notes on our next Animal Phyla............"Arthropods".  We worked on the Mollusk colouring sheet and Arthropod colouring sheet.  Mollusks is due Monday.   Arthopods-you will have more time to work on.

Biology 11

Today we had an improvised field lab.......nice work despite the heat, bugs and lack of Begbie Falls:(

Make sure your lab gets turned in.  We will have an Ecology quiz tomorrow on determining density, rate of change of density and population growth.

Science 9

Today we practiced using a microscope and did two labs:  The Microscope Lab and Viewing Mitosis under the Microscope Lab.  Both should be turned in.


Next we took some power point notes on mutations and cancer. 
Make sure page 56 #1-7 is completed.

You should have worked on your mitosis model (you can finish tomorrow if not done). 
Page 70 #1-9 (omit #3)

Science 9

Today we continued with cell growth and reproduction by learning about Mitosis....the process that body cells use to replicate.   Is it a coincidence that Anna taught us about ANAPHASE??    We did a mitosis cuttin' and pastin' assignment, due at the end of class.       Page 57 #1-7 is due next class if you didn't already turn in. 

Biology 11

Today we prepared for our Field Quadrat sampling lab by looking at densities of different "plant" species scattered around the classroom.   Make sure you bring your randomly assigned grids as well as a calculator, some sunscreen and decent shoes to walk around in on Thursday. 

Ecology quiz coming up on Friday.  Formulas for Population Growth,  Density and Rate of Change of density will be given.
