We then discussed the makeup of the cell membrane and made a cell membrane foldable. This foldable can be found in the "Documents" folder under Unit 1. Notes are in the "Notes" folder under Unit 1.
Homework: 135-140 (Active Transport)
Today we started with a quiz over biomolecules and cell organelles. Please see Ms. Smith if you were absent to take this quiz.

Today was a continuation of what we did yesterday. Any of the cell stations that were not finished in class are to be completed as homework. HW: 128-134 (Cell Membrane and Transport) QUIZ TOMORROW OVER CELL ORGANELLES AND BIOMOLECULES. Study the chart we made in class Monday and the gizmo over cell organelles. Also, know the difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Here is a helpful video about the cell and its inner workings: Today we set up our individual websites for this class. Please see Mrs. Smith if you need help!
Today and tomorrow, students will be learning various things about cells by reading articles, exploring activities, and watching videos. The two articles that are needed for this activity are the "Cell Stations" page and the "Cell Gizmo", which can be found on Google classroom or obtained from your teacher. Websites used during the activity can be copied and pasted into your browser, or can be found below: Part One: The Wacky History of Cell Theory Bill Nye: Spontaneous Generation Size Scale of Common Objects Part Two: Prokaryotes: Arizona.edu Part Three: Gizmos website Part Four: Endosymbiont Theory Part Five: Stem Cells Homework tonight is pages 118-126 (eukaryotic organelles). Today we discussed the four biomolecules that make up all life: carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. The notes we went through can be found in the "Notes" folder under Unit 1.
Students then had time to work on their Levels of Organization book from yesterday. This book is due tomorrow Tuesday, Jan. 24. Homework for tonight is pages 112-117 (cells and organelles). First we had a quiz over lab safety and equipment. Next, we discussed the seven characteristics that all forms of life should exhibit.
Afterwards, students were instructed to do the following: 1. Do HW for tonight: 92-98 2. Complete "Levels of Organization" book. Instructions are in the "Documents" folder in Unit 1, or on Google Classroom. Booklet is due Tuesday, January 24th. Today we started class by ensuring people were able to download the iBook for Biology. We also talked about how to access the online version of the book. Please see Mrs. Smith if you are struggling with doing either of these.
After, we quickly reviewed the scientific method. This should be review from middle school science, but if you need any clarification, please access the "Scientific Method" powerpoint that is available in the "Lecture/Notes" folder under Unit 1. Next, we did a group activity regarding scientific evidence, deductive reasoning, and collaboration. Mostly, you guys just made weird stories about identity theft, murder, and people being addicted to electrocuting themselves (I think you all watch too much bizarre television…). HW tonight: read pages 84-90 in textbook and take notes. Parent SurveyYou and your lab partners are responsible for finding and knowing the locations of the following internal rat parts. These parts, along with the muscles from Friday, will be on a quiz tomorrow. We will be dissecting rats today and Monday. Here you can find a link to a great online dissection with pictures. There is also a good pdf guide that can be found here. |
