Biology 11

Today we continued our journey into DNA replication by doing a really finicky cutting and pasting assignment with sugars, phosphates and base pairs.  Tomorrow we will (hopefully!) Finish this off.  Make sure the DNA questions A and B (from part A) are complete for tomorrow.   Here are the really useful DNA videos we watched:  Remember the QUIZEROONI on Friday. 

Science 8

Today we practiced figuring out how to find actual size of an organism by using the field of view diameter.  We finished the microscope lab by looking at three slide samples.   Make sure you turn this microscope lab in. 

Classwork/Homework:  Read page 11-14.  Do the reading check on page 15. 

Science 8

Today we took notes on characteristics of living things, next we did a microscope lab where we were looking at rulers to determine fields of view.  Classwork/homework:  Read 6 and page 8-11.  Do reading check on page 11.  Answer in full sentences.

Today we started our next section of Unit 1:  DNA.   We took notes from the DNA power point.  Note booklet is found HERE and the power point is HERE. 

DNA question booklet on replication is due on Wednesday.  That is all of A and B of section A. 

Make your observations of the mold lab day #3 today. 

Science 8

Today we started off with microscopes by watching a short video on microscope use.  Next we labelled parts and functions on the worksheet found HERE.  Use your text book on page 12 and 13 to help you.

Today we started our bread mold lab.  Yummmmmy!   Next we finished off the NOVA video and worksheet.  If you want to get preview of our next unit, start by watching the first section of the powerpoint on DNA replication found HERE. 

Biology 11

Today we watched a video on endosymbiosis.  Make sure you can explain this theory and give evidence for it.  We also practiced actual size and drawing magnification by making drawings of some pond water protists.    Here are some videos to help you study for the Unit 1: Part A test coming up on THURSDAY!!    Go back through your notes, questions and prepare for the long answer questions.
