 Today we got a review for the Test tomorrow on Chapter 1 and 2 and scientific method.   The filled in words on the review are found HERE.  Make sure you also study the review you got on Friday.

Today we wrote a quiz QUIZEROOO on cell organelles.  Next we took some notes on how cells reproduce.   We got the test outline for the test on Tuesday next week.   In the first block we worked on how to calculate the actual size of specimens and drawing magnification when using microscopes.  Make sure you hold on to the Actual Size and Drawing Magnification lab to complete it on Monday.  

In the second block we went for a walk in the woods to collect pond water.  We are hoping to use it to observe some plant cells on Monday.  

We started watching:

Today we practiced animal and plant cells by doing some relaxing colouring.  Make sure you finish off the colouring for homework and label the numbered parts.    Quiz tomorrow on cell parts and functions.  If you need practice, you can find it by following these links:  MATCHING GAME    CELL EXPLORER      Practice questions

We also completed the introductory microscope lab and started the lab to calculate actual size and drawing magnification.    

Some entertaining cell videos if you want to sing along......or clap, or beat box:)

Today we continued to add to our note sheet on characteristics of life.    Use the online text chapter 2 (up to page 13) to help you fill in organelle table and answer the skill building questions on the note sheet.  

We watched two short videos to help us visualize the timeline for evolution of life on earth.

Today we wrote a quick quiz on the scientific method.  Next we set up our mold lab and wrote up our procedure and prepared a data table to start recording data.  

Next we got a note sheet on Characteristics of Life we then used the living vs. non-living power point and the cells power point to complete some of the notes.

Today we did more practice with Scientific Method.  First we looked at a simple experiment to test the hypothesis that the Earth is flat:   

The hypothesis was rejected luckily and we don't fall off!

Next we did some practice graphing and answering questions about an experiment with this worksheet.  

Finally we set up a group lab to test bread under different conditions to see what would cause faster mold growth.     QUIZ tomorrow on Scientific Method.   Practice sets:  Online Quiz #1

Online Quiz #2.      Online Quiz #3
