Grades are posted!!!

Congratulations everyone on passing the first semester of Biology!!!

If the world doesn't end today, let's meet up for next semester, same place, same time(s).

:-)

Final is on Wednesday - Review is due then

Work on the review, quiz yourself, etc.

Turn in the completed review for a little bonus!



Check your grades - if you see any errors, bring documentation to the final so we can fix it!!!!

All notebook work due Friday

If you have any makeup work, fill out the "Last chance for credit" sheet, stick it in the front of the notebook, and circle the pages you have fixed

120 Cellular Respiration...

Is the opposite of photosynthesis  - glucose is broken apart, and the energy is used to make lots of ATP molecules which allow the reactions of metabolism to occur in organisms...

Draw the reaction, and answer the questions below:

1. What is the reaction for cellular respiration?  (products and reactants)
2. What kinds of cells do cellular respiration?
3. In what organelle does cellular respiration occur?
4. What little energy carrying molecule results from cellular respiration?

Need more help?  There are so many videos/tutorials online about photosynthesis&cellular respiration - take a few minutes to look around and teach yourself!

119 Photosynthesis

Diagram/write the answers to these questions:

1. What are the products and reactants of photosynthesis?
2. What is needed for the reaction to occur?
3. What kind of cells can do photosynthesis?
4. In which organelle does photosynthesis occur?

118 - Pictures and steps of mitosis

Show the order of the five steps of the cell cycle (I, PMAT), and tape the correct pictures at each step.

Monday and Tuesday

Learn the steps of mitosis, and what major events are occuring in each step.

Make sure you know when the DNA is duplicated, (is it during mitosis?)

What happens when cells just keep doing mitosis over and over?  (What is this called?)

117 - Mitosis

then copy this next line:

mitosis

Then go to the ADAPTIVE CURRICULUM web site, log in, and paste the line above into the search box...

http://frontend.adaptivecurriculum.com/login/

Click on play and complete the LEARNER JOURNAL (pp.112-113) handouts are on the front desk

If you have time, check out the cancer modules on that same page - they're really interesting, and they'll help you understand what happens when mitosis goes bad...

116 How big can cells get?

As big as they want?  Or does that cause problems with homeostasis?

Let's do an experiment to find out... (and think about the size of your cells)

114-115 Cell membrane

Get a computer for your table,
Take the osmosis quiz at the adaptive curriculum site [click on the clipboard with the check mark] & let Mr. Chapman know how you do (open notes, etc.) - do you understand the questions that you missed (if any?)

then copy this next line:

cell membrane

Then go to the ADAPTIVE CURRICULUM web site, log in, and paste the line above into the search box...

101-107 The chicken or the egg? An osmosis question...

We'll be looking into osmosis and diffusion with our eggs this week.  Make sure to write down your observations and data as we go!

Day 1 - love that vinegar smell
Day 2 - sticky sweet syrup!

99 100 Antibiotics Video

The Antibiotics video is on the flash drive - if the sub has problems logging, please elect a student to log in and start the video :-)  One you all finish watching, go ahead and finish whatever else needs to be completed in your notebook!  (Coloring, etc.)

95 96 97 98 Diffusion Experiment (with Osmosis!!!)

94 diffusion observations

93 Diffusion Circle Map

So, what do you know about diffusion?

90 91 92 5 Second Rule part deux

Here we go again, with much improved technique and protocols...

5 second rule, first attempts at plating, ewwww

83 84 85 86 87 88 89 Cell (Basic Structures)

For all you visual learners, let's get COLORFUL!  Make sure you mark up the text as you go...

83 Prokaryotic Cell (Coloring guide, color the underlined text and the name)
84 Cell Structure and Function - cool reading, mark it up!
85 Prokaryotic Cell (color it) - write the names on the lines

86 Eukaryotic Cells - mark up the text
87 Eukaryotic Cells - mark up the text

88 Plant Cell (Coloring & a few questions)

89 Animal Cell (Coloring & a few questions)

81 82 Some Analysis of our Data - does it really mean anything?

79-80 about microbes...

Mark up the text - highlight key terms, circle the lists, draw some pictures of bacteria shapes - you know, mark it up in a way that helps YOU learn...

Now see how many of the various shapes you see in your petri dish (do we ever open them?  NO!)

73 74 75 76 77 78 Five Second Rule

It all started with a letter....

and then we started asking questions

 

71 72 Microscopy

70 Tissue Types

How many examples can you list?  (Better be at least 3+1+1+1!!!)

66 67 68 69 Human Organ Systems

For each of the 11 systems (that's what's in our book, it's possible to organize them a little differently) we need to know:

1. Name
2. Function (What it does)
3. Organs (Which ones?)
4. Disorder (describe at least one)

We'll be doing our presentations on Monday!

Check out this site for more information about body systems
http://www.innerbody.com/htm/body.html

and here's a handy reference for your notebook (pp.68-69)

65 Circle Map about Human Organ Systems

What do we already know (our brains are our sources - write that in green)
we are looking from the view of a BIOLOGIST (write that in blue)

63 64 Levels of Organization

We decided that this was the best way to show the levels of organization in terms of complexity.  Now just grab some examples and write the definitions

62 Progress Report

Fasten in the progress report, and get it signed by mom/pop/guardian.

61 Grade Reflection for the first quarter

Please reflect on your progress this past quarter in learning Biology - explain what grade you earned, and WHY you think you earned it. Spend some words describing what you've learned about how you learn best - and what you've done that has helped you learn. If you are having some difficulties, describe them.

60 Double Bubble Thinking Map

For Exponential growth versus Logistic Growth

58 59 Circle maps

Schedule for Friday 10/5 (short day!)

57 Canopy in the Clouds

Cool stuff from the rainforest - we'll be looking at some actual research videos about real symbiotic relationships

http://www.canopyintheclouds.com/

56 Creatures of the Deep (Video Notes)

FOR TUESDAY!!!

Take the KWL Notes just like on page 33.

Bonus for more than 3 full sets (9 answers).

Hope you enjoy the show!!!

54 55 Biomes and Habitats

Look through the text sections 4.3 and 4.4 to find answers to the questions about BIOMES and HABITATS

52 53 Zebra Mussels (and questions

on page 52, read the article, and MARK IT UP like you've been taught - use whatever techniques work best for you.

on page 53, use the Zebra Mussel article to answer the questions - feel free to discuss your answers with your group

51 Symbiosis (Self Quiz)

Work with your neighbor (or group) to answer these questions

50 Symbiosis (Tree Map)

We use tree maps to help organize information about categories of a subject (SYMBIOSIS)
Make sure to fill in information about the main three (Parasitism, Commensalism, and Mutualism)
Go above and beyond by adding more categories of Symbiosis

49 Symbiosis (Circle Map)

We use the Circle Map for Brainstorming and collecting information.  In this case, it's about symbiosis

Remember the FRAME OF REFERENCE (the rectangle)
We have blue for the point of view
Green for our sources - use as many as you need to fill the circle
Red for What did I Learn, and Why does it matter?

What you see below is an example of what the class came up with (yours should be your own, not a copy!)
