Science 8

Today we dissected the EYEBALL!!  Nice work everyone.  Your surgical precision was evident in the process.

Optics Quest tomorrow.....no eyeball parts on this.  Just waves, electromagnetism, light, mirror, lenses...Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 in your text book.  Make sure you complete the optics review found HERE.

Biology 11

Today we wrote the PLANT KINGDOM test.   Next we started the Animal Unit by doing the reading guide to early invertebrates.  This is due on Thursday.  Finally we watched CRASH COURSE to biology to learn how we are all tubes within tubes.

Science 8

Today we took some notes on concave and convex mirrors and lenses.  Next we worked on the mirrors worksheet from yesterday.  Finally we watched a video helping us prepare for the EYEBALL DISSECTION TOMORROW!!

Biology 11

Today we studied for our plant unit test.  Make sure you have completed the Angiosperm/Gymnosperm Reading Guide and Question sheet from last week.  We watched the amoeba sisters to help us understand double fertilization in angiosperms. 

Science 8

Today we set up the schedule for the week.....Finish off mirror and lenses, dissect an eyeball and write an optics quest.   Optics quest is on Chapter 4 and 5.  Use the textbook page 232-233 to help you study for this. 

We took some notes on how light acts when it hits mirrors and lenses.   Next we did a short activity drawing diagrams of light rays with mirrors and lenses.  Next we got a mirrors worksheet.  Bring this back tomorrow. 

Biology 11

Today we took a short quiz on mosses and ferns.  Next we practiced gymnosperms and angiosperms and answered some questions about these guys HERE.   Text on Tuesday on all land plants (mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, angiosperms).

Science 8

Today we had a quick quiz on waves.  You needed to draw waves and label wavelength, amplitude, resting position etc. 
We took some notes on the ray model of light.  Next we did a quick lab on measuring the angle of reflection when light bounces off a mirror.
