Computer Lab Final

Dear Students,

It's been a hard few weeks. I'm finally feeling better and am looking forward to seeing you all in January. This computer lab activity will be collected at the end of class and turned in to me. Please give me your best work. I hope you enjoy the two websites and take the time to READ the information written.

Start here with Mendel's Peas: http://www2.edc.org/weblabs/Mendel/mendel.html
- Read & Click next several times
- Roll over each plant to see what the pea and the pod would look like
- To test the different offspring drag and drop the plants to the boxes
- Fill in the chart: (bottom left of page click “sections” then click on explore to test the different alleles for dominance by clicking on 2 plants to cross and see resulting offspring )

Natural Selection Activity: http://glencoe.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/dl/free/0078759864/383939/BL_12.html
- READ THE LEFT SIDE AND SCROLL DOWN!!! (Will help with # 1-4)
- Answer each question to the best of your ability

HAVE A FANTASTIC BREAK! I can't wait to see you all in January.

:)

Thursday: plant pigment lab- finish is not turned in during class. Began Mitosis.
Homework: Flashcards for all of Chapter 4!!!! AND Chapter read 4, 3 workbook pages77-79 due WEDNESDAY as so many have challenge day on Monday...

Next week we will continue with Mitosis and have a quiz on FRIDAY. Osmosis, diffusion, photosynthesis, & respiration.

Photosynthesis song!!!

October 3-7: Cell Projects due Friday!!!!

Monday: Students observed, sketched, and answered questions about Potato and Onion cells under microscopes. They also wrote a paragraph describing how osmosis and diffusion were present in the Elodea leaf lab. Students were then asked to apply that knowledge to what happens to the cells in their lips and mouth when they eat something salty like chips.
Homework: Read chapter 3, section 4 - 1st & 2nd: workbook pages 66 & 67 3rd period: flashcards of key terms

Friday: Good Job on Cell Projects!

If not completed in class: Please finish diffusion experiment conclusion (cornstarch & iodine w/ plastic baggie)

ALSO: Students received their organelle quiz. If they scored a D or F they need to correct it and retake it at lunch next Thursday.

CELL PROJECTS DUE FRIDAY! 50 points- please show me your best work!

9/27- 9/29 - Cell Projects due NEXT FRIDAY!

Tuesday: Periods 1 & 2 learned about osmosis and diffusion, did an osmosis lab, and played jeopardy. Period 3 was in the computer lab reinforcing their knowledge of organelles. On Thursday you'll switch.

Tuesday Homework: Crossword puzzle on organelles will help students review for THURSDAY'S QUIZ. Students have their flashcards from Chapter 3 sections 1 & 2 - use them to review terms and for crossword. Also review parts of the cell theory and scientists: Hooke, Van Leeuwenhoek, Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow

Thursday: What a day!
For 1st & 2nd periods the internet was down so our cell webquest was a bit of a flop. Students in Periods 1 &2 are to finish the worksheet at home or the library for homework.
3rd Period learned about osmosis and diffusion, did an osmosis lab, and took the organelle quiz. Homework is read chapter 3, section 4 and complete the workbook pages 66 & 67.

CELL PROJECTS DUE NEXT FRIDAY! Please be sure to work on the key over the weekend. If you're doing cartoons or 3-D models you should have it near completion. Remember this is worth 50 points! Everyone has to do it! No Excuses. See me if you need help of materials.

Grades

As you all have access through Aeries, I have not been posting grades here. However, I have heard that some of you are still having trouble so here it is:

Scholarships...

Student Grades- Aeries Grade Portal - Frequently Asked Questions

Parents will soon be receiving a letter with login information to access student grades on Aeries.

Mr. Lang's website has the same information and pictures as well...


How do I create an account to access the grades?

While at the Parent Connect sign in page, select "Create New Account."

Step 1: Choose "Parent" or "Student"

Step 2: Type in your email address, and choose a password for your aeries account. It is NOT asking you for your email password!

Step 3: Aeries will send an email to you from the address, "DoNotReply@pet.k12.ca.us" It will have a link to "Cornfirm this email address." This verifies the email address you provided works.

Once you click the link in the email, it will give you a "Thank you" message and a "Click Here" to get to Step 4.

Step 4: Now you need to enter the information that will identify which student is yours. Currently, the only way to get the required information is from a letter the district sends to your home. This is to prevent fraudulent accounts access to your information.

Step 5: You will be presented with a list of people that are listed as contacts for your child, so pick your name from the list. You should be there! If you are not one of the already listed people, there is a, "none of the above ," option.

Step 6: you will get another "Click Here."

It will take you to the log in page, you are ready to start!

What if I do not have an email address?

You need an email address. There are many places that host free email, like hotmail.com or gmail.com

What if I have problems with Parent Connect?

As of now, if you have any issues creating an account, email me, Mrs. Brooks Long, and I will see what I can do. If you are reading this, but your child is not at PJHS I probably can't help you.

How many people can look at my child's grades?

The letter with the information is mailed home, but once you have that you can make as many accounts as you need, so mom and dad can both make accounts, as well as your student's tutor, mentor, or anyone else you care to give the passcodes to. Be aware that this gives them access to a lot of your personal information - all the information you now have access to, so check out the site, see what is there, and make sure you want to give them this access. They stay at grandma's after school? Sure! You are paying some college kid to tutor? Maybe not!

What if I have more then one child?

If you have more then one student, your one account can cover all of them. Once you make an account, using the passcodes for one of your students, log in, and in the top right is a drop down menu titled, "Current Student." One of the drop down choices is to, "Add additional student not currently listed." Of course this only works if you have passcodes for both of them.

When the Portal is opened for more students, at multiple schools, multiple grades, I belive that your account will be able to cover them all. The portal is not school specific, but covers the whole PCS district.

Why is my child's name listed twice in the dropdown menu?

As of now (Feb 2011) In the dropdown menu, you will also see your student AGAIN, appearing as a 9th grader and "inactive." They already have their name down over in the high school's computer, but there is nothing there to see yet.

How long will my account last?

This acount will last until your child is no longer in the Petaluma City Schools District, so until they graduate high school, or you transfer out, it should work. As of right now, as far as I know, only one other teacher (at Casa) is using the grade program, but other information, such as attendance and transcripts should be available.

How do I find the grades?

Your options are:

Gradebook This is where you will find current grades for your child, for any of their classes where the teacher is using the Aeries gradebook progam.
Current Assignments I have no idea how this works. Ignore it for now!
Grades This will get you s report just like the mailed-home progress reports, broken down by grading periods
Transcripts This will get you an UNOFFICIAL transcript, semester by semester.


"Gradebook," is the option that gets you assignment by assignment details on your child's grades, and there will be a menu to select which gradebook you want to see. We encouraged teachers to try out the program, but as far as I know there are only a few who are actively using it, all of them in the science department.

Once you click the class you wish to see, you will get a detailed report of their grade. Missing assignments are highlighted in RED.

The link I got in the mail does not work, what's wrong?

Yikes, with all the changes happening, the web address was changed, but the letter was NOT fixed! The correct link is:

https://parentconnect.pet.k12.ca.us

7.15-7.17

Hello, We're jumping around this week.

Tuesday: Chapter 8, section 4: focus on Carbon and the numerous substances that can be created from it. Homework: read the chapter and workbook pages 150-153
