HAPPY SPRING BREAK!

Don't forget that the Element Superhero project is due on Thursday, April 5th.

We will be working on the Electricity Unit when we get back from break.

Biology 11

HAPPY SRING BREAK!!

Make sure you work on your Microbiology Unit Review as the test is coming up on April 6th.  You may turn your review in early if you want it marked before the test.

We will do the "Protist" section when we get back from break. 

Science 8

Today we started our next unit on Matter.  We took some notes on matter and atoms.  Next we did a Lab:  7-1 Modelling the Particle Model.   Make sure you answer all "What did you find out" questions on page 247.  

Last block we played Pandemic.

Today we did our Chemistry Unit test.  Done Chemistry!!   and we took some of our silver home in a mini test tube.   Too bad it's only worth $1.

Next we worked on our Element Superheros.   Finally we took notes on Static Electricy.  Homework:  Read page 274-277.  Do #1-4 page 278. 

Science 8

Today we wrote the test on the immune system.    Next we threw our osmosis eggs off the balcony!

For classwork (and homework if you don't get it done):  Read page 246-249.   Do Reading Check on page 249.

Biology 11

Today we set up our bacterial plates to test different antibiotics on two different bacterial cultures.   Then we worked on our microbiology projects---due Friday AT THE LATEST!!   Found HERE

Due Wednesday:  The Diversity and Biology of Monerans.  (Worksheet from last class). 

Science 9

Today we worked on our review for the Chemistry Unit test coming up on Wednesday.   Here is a great online practice for naming and formula writing for ionic compounds.  Make sure you click on IONIC compounds.

We also played an exciting game of jeopardy.  Found HERE.

Chemistry Unit Review handout and textbook questions due on Tuesday.

Biology 11

Today we took more notes on bacteria and looked again at our distribution of bacteria lab agar plates.....ewww.  You got a bunch of work back and have questions due on Wednesday:  "Diversity and Biology of Monerans". 

Science 8

We went to an assembly today.  Make sure homework from yesterday (page 117 # 4-10) gets turned in on Monday. 

Science 9

Today we wrote a Quick Question Quiz.   Next we took some notes on Lewis Dot diagrams.   We decided the best day for the Chemistry Unit Test was Wednesday, March 14th.   Two review assignments are due on Tuesday.  (one is a handout and one is from the textbook-see yesterday's blog). 

Science 8

Today we went to the computer lab to work on a concept map of the immune system.  This will help with review for the unit test.

Next we played Pandemic and most of us saved the world!  Homework:  Read page 110-114
Do #4-10 on page 117

Science 9

Today we took notes on Bohr Models and ionic and covalent compounds.   Next we did a lab on electrical conductivity of elements.   Make sure you turn this lab in with a conclusion.

Second block we started a project on an "Element Superhero".   This is due on Friday, March 16th.  

Review for Test handout along with:

Biology 11

Today we did two bacterial culture labs.   These baby bacteria are incubating and wating for next class.    We completed our microscope lab and turned it in and worked on our virus project.

Homework:  Read page 215-219.  Answer questions #1-4 pg. 219.    Remember that we have a quiz on viruses on Friday. 

Biology 11

Today we had some time to work on our Microbiology projects A, B or C.  Make sure you have turned in the virus questions (worksheet from last week).  Otherwise, no homework.
