STUDENTS who were absent on Tuesday, here is the link to the video that you need to watch and write down 10 concepts from the video, (detailed and clear concepts)

Hi Students, here is list of guidelines for what to study for the Organelles test.

Please know the functions of the following organelles/cell parts. In case you are not sure where to find this info, you can look in your: book, homework, worksheets, PowerPoint (attached a few weeks ago), Powerpoint notes that were attached a few weeks ago, notes taken during presentations, Organelles activity from Monday the 24th of October, and the wonderful internet :)

-nucleus

-mitochondria

-chloroplast

-cell wall

-centriole

-cell membrane

-nuclear membrane

-vacuoles (both in plant cells and animal cells)

-ribosomes

-both rough and smooth Endoplasmic reticulum

-Golgi bodies or Golgi apparatus or Golgi complex

-cytoplasm

-lysosome

-Please know what each of the above organelles cell parts look like and be able to identify them in a cell

-please know which organelles/cell parts can only be found in plant cells

-please know what the mitochondria uses to make ATP and what the waste product of this process is

-please know that the above process is known as cellular respiration

-please know the chain of events that happen from the nucleus to the Golgi in terms of the manufacture of proteins

-know the difference between how the vacuole functions in a plant cell vs. an animal cell

-please know what a vesicle is and how it can be formed in the cell

-please know where DNA and RNA can be found, and which of these will leave the nucleus to provide the code for the making of proteins

 

HI students, your homework is to complete the worksheet on organelles I gave you in class on Thursday, you can use your book, the internet, or the attached notes as references.

Also, please print out a copy of the attached notes and bring them to class with you in your folder :)

Hi Students! For tonight's homework please read pages 174-181 and please answer questions 1-5 on page 181. Also, please bring your book to class with you this week :)

Also, bring a white poster board/paper thingy (the thinner ones you can find at Michaels or Staples) the same size as I showed you in class today

what to know for tomorrow's test:

1. semi- permeable

2. what makes up the cell membrane (phospholipid bilayer, hydrophilic heads etc)

3. the difference between active and passive transport

4. diffusion, osmosis

5. hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic

6. endocytosis, pinocytosis, phagocytosis

7. a few questions related to the scientific method

8. there will be several scenarios that will require you to apply these concepts to real life situations. So it is important that you fully study and understand the concepts so you can apply the information.

Hi tonight your homework is to get the science donation from your parents and bring it to class Friday :) Thanks!!

 

Hi ! Please finish "Getting to know you" I will be collecting it tomorrow :) Also remember the science donation is due on Friday. Have a good evening!

Hi Students! Your assignment tonight is to do 2 things:

1) Please give the donation letter to your parents and have them read it

2) Read pages 2-7 in your book then please do questions 1-5 in the section assessment (1-1, page 7) and do the "Asking questions" for figure 1-5 and figure 1-6 (basically there are some pictures with little captions to read and then a question at the end; your job is to answer those questions)

Greetings and welcome to Biology
1. Your first homework assignment will be to find a current event or past event related to Science. It can be related to the environment or medicine or any subject that has to do with science. Then please write up a 1/2 (that's one-half) page summary IN YOUR OWN OWN WORDS. Now to me "in your own words" means that you read the whole article first then break it down and explain it in your own words. I think two paragraphs would be a good way to organize your summary. The first paragraph should summarize the topic or issue (where, who, what, why and when) and in the second paragraph, give your own commentary/opinion and tell why people should be aware of this topic/issue
2. Also....finish your note card (name and interesting fact on one side and colored, creative drawing on the other side)
3. Cover your book and write your name in it too.
4. Have your folks read and sign the classroom guidelines page I gave you in class today.
5. Get a "notebook" just for this class and this class alone
