Today we watched presentations of half of our viral disease groups and then we discussed the immune system. If you have not watched the video from yesterday, please do so tonight. Lesson materials can be found in the powerpoint/note folder. Afterward, students were assigned the task of creating a comic strip representing an analogy of the parts of the immune system. Directions are below, or found in the homework/documents folder. The comic strip is to be done individually and is due Tuesday, Dec. 1st. Today we talked about viruses. Please reference the powerpoint in the folder if you need help. For homework, watch the following video and fill in the document found in the documents folder, or below. Today we took the first of 3 tests over The Hot Zone. See Ms. Smith if you were absent. Next, we watched Frontline: Outbreak, which is about the current Ebola outbreak in West Africa. If you would like to watch it at home, it can be found on PBS's website here.
Today we looked at the pond water we collected on Tuesday. Directions for the lab can be found under the lab folder. Lab is due on Monday, Nov. 17.
Today we started talking about two of the major causes of infectious diseases: bacteria and viruses. To start the day, we completed a micro viewer lab about the two entities.
Then students are to create a presentation about a chosen infectious disease which will be presented to the class over the next week. The diseases you can choose from can be found here. The presentation should include the following: - Name of the disease - Name of organism that causes the disease (if bacteria, needs to be scientific name) and whether they are bacteria or a virus - 2+ pictures of the organism that causes the disease - How you can catch the disease - Symptoms of the disease with pictures - Treatment for the disease - Number of people affected in the U.S. and worldwide each year - Mortality rate (chance of you dying) - 5+ Interesting Facts about the pathogen or the disease These can be done in any format you choose. These presentations must be prepared by: - Bacteria: by Monday, Nov. 16 - Virus: by Tuesday, Nov. 17 http://goo.gl/forms/VJ7bShzon0 Protists are fun, too. We discussed the different types today and their roles, both positive and negative, in the ecosystem.
We then went outside to collect some pond water for our upcoming lab! Homework tonight is pages 458-465 (bacteria). Today we talked about fungi...it was fun. Please reference the powerpoint in the appropriate folder.
Homework tonight is pages 472-477 (Protists) Today we looked at the internal difference of monocots and dicots by examining their roots, stems, and leaves. Students used the Exo Camera to take a picture of and label the following: Monocot and Dicot Root - label xylem and phloem Monocot and Dicot Stem - label xylem and phloem Monocot and Dicot Leaves - label xylem, phloem, epidermis, and stomata The pictures above should then be inserted into google docs, slides, notability, pages, or any other app the student desires, and uploaded onto google classroom. Students then completed the "Help Wanted - Plant Parts" to solve plant part analogies. The document can be found on google classroom, in the labs folder, or below. This should also be uploaded onto google classroom when finished. We then played a review Kahoot (will be uploaded after school).
Students were also given an assignment, a 15 multiple choice question quiz that will help prepare for the EOC. Students are able to use notes or internet help to answer questions as well as work together to come up with the best answers for the questions. The quiz can be found here. This is due one week from today, Thursday, Nov. 12th at 10pm. Students may check their scores and reset the quiz up until Wednesday. The log-in for the quiz is: Student ID # (no letters); password = "jaguars" |
