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.

Students that are not turning in homework will be in class at break and lunch completing assignments.

Wednesday: Cheek cells viewed under microscope/ stained slides
Homework: Workbook pgs58-60 covers Ch 3,2

Friday: Worked on Cell Diagrams and watched the Magic of Cells video. Organelle mystery IDs.
Homework: Cell Project 1/2 sheets went home today to help students begin to make choices about their cell project. In class we discussed using recyled materials to create 3-D models. Students can come in and ask for materials, if I have it they can use it. The 1/2 sheet is due Tuesday. Cell Projects are due October 7th. That's only 2 Fridays from today!

9/13-9/15

Weeks are flying by!

We've begun microscopes and today we took a quiz on parts of a microscope. We're learning about the discovery of cells and microorganisms. Next week we'll focus on the parts of a cell.

Due today was a yellow sheet on Light.

Thursday: I collected notebooks to grade over the weekend.
Students should be reading Chapter 3, section 1. Please make flashcards for the 1st 4 terms. Complete workbook pages 54-56- that includes the flowchart on pg 54.

Cell Project Outline went out today. If you are interested in making a food cell you need a parent/ guardian signature. This is giving your child the go ahead to purchase and create an edible project at HOME.

Have a good weekend!
