We are asking students to make a 3D cell model. Each student was given a assignment sheet with details on what will be graded. There are also copies of the assignment on Thunderbird biology ilearn site.
Students should also know the cell organilles and their function by Monday: January 6th.
Today we are going over the functions and characteristics of nucleic acids
Students will get a concept map and use puzzles to create DNA and RNA
They will also get a copy of the review for the test which is on FRIDAY!
Thursday – students will get the cell model project rubric and descrip0tion which is to be completed over break
Review is also available on Thunderbird Biology 1 website
Students that need to retake or make up an exam should see me to schedule the testing.
Students are beginning a new section on Biochemistry
Monday – model making of glucose and information on carbohydrates
Tuesday – Questions from the text – passed out in class
Wednesday- presentations and discussion of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids
Students will make a fold-able that compares photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
They will be given a review for the quiz on Friday.
Check out a copy of the station lab from Wednesday and a copy of the review on Thunderbird Biology 1
Quiz on Cellular respiration is on Friday.
Today we will begin our week on Cellular Respiration
Students will take a pretest to measure how much they know
Students will read: “A Matter of Explosions”and answer the questions together on your whiteboard.
Students will then Read “Controlling the Release of Energy from Matter…” with your group.
Create a Mondel: Students will use the article, book and computer resources to create a model of the process of cellular respiration.
Today students will review photosynthesis
We will complete a lab that uses leaf disks (spinach) and gas exchange during photosynthesis to gather data
We will review any last minute questions
Test is Tuesday
Students will be taking a photosynthesis pre test (this score is used only to measure their personal achievement)
We will begin learning the leaf structure and the mechanics behind photosynthesis
Students could read chapter 6 to help with their understanding of the process of photosynthesis
They will complete an activity that includes creating the cross – section of a leaf and labeling its components
They also will be learning the reactions necessary for photosynthesis to occur
Students finished up their population graphs and we went over them in class
Today we took notes and discussed succession
Tomorrow students will be given a review for the test
The test is Friday on Ecology and populations
Today students will get notes on ecosystem relationships. They will watch short video clips and identify the different relationships in the clips.
Thursday
Students will complete a predator – prey graph. They will then read some short interaction “want ads” and identify the relationship as either commensalism, mutualism or parasitism. For homework they have a reading of the invasive King snake with questions.
Friday: Populations
Students will be asked to read Ch. 19-1&2 AND answer questions relating to the reading.
For homework they will have a work sheet pertaining to the reading.
