Notice May 1st, Monday, is a buffer class ~ in case we need more time for a particular group who didn’t get to present for whatever reason.
The Unit 1 Exam includes all 3 chapters on Ecology and will be Tuesday May 9th for both classes.
They’re available for pick up now, and Monday March 27th.
Due Friday March 31st.
Basically the same as the usual JO scholarship applications.
But I need your information separately for submitting outside of JO if that makes sense!!
Happy S-trip ~ don’t get too crazy please, you have a test when you get back.
Reminder to all my students, if you’re missing anything, please come and check today and tomorrow and sign up after school, TUES Feb 28th (my last office hours for Term 2), especially if you need to write missed tests or quizzes, or even hand in late labs.

Template for Research Papers
Name: ________________________________ Date: ________________ Block: ________
Use the following guiding principles to formulate a well-researched and articulate paper:
You need not include all the information on the web in this paper. Two well written pages (usually around 500 words) plus 2 diagrams or photos or images (cited please) from the web will suffice. The images should be appended or pasted after the written portion of your paper.
Please us your class time wisely.
Printer issues; please anticipate as research papers are due at the bell with no leniency given around leaving to print in the learning commons. After the bell late work will be assessed as per Biology 12 Course Outline guidelines.
Plagiarism: research gathered is to be in your own words. Academic honesty policies abound on the JO Website, VSB Policy guidelines, and on Mr Sommerfeldโs bulletin board near the front entrance ๐

Beef Pluck Lab: each person hands in their own, hand drawn Thurs Feb 16th
Digestion Test: Tues Feb 14th
Chap 12 Questions (Circulation, back of the chapter) due Thurs Feb 16th
Your reward for checking this blog: The long answer section has two big questions that are hugely open ended: what happens in the (and then 2 of the following, can’t tell you EVERYTHING on the test ๐ large or small intestine, mouth or stomach or liver or pancreas or gall bladder; then be sure to check for a process called “deamination”. Know what it is and where it happens!! IF I gave you a diagram of the entire Dig’n system, could you label it? And tell me where enzymes are made and what they do? Then congrats, you’re ready for the biggest test of the year (no pressure).
Digestion Test: Tuesday February 14th, officially ๐
Presentations: at this point your vitamin presentation mark is solely based on whatever you emailed me (see previous posts). We won’t be presenting any more, unless we find time somewhere after the upcoming Circulation unit.
Speaking of which, if I can’t make it in Tuesday Feb 7th, please find the Circulation Chapter in your textbook and do the questions at the end. Pay particular attention to the anatomy of the heart (The Beef Plucks have arrived and are waiting in a fridge near you; heart lungs trachea of a cow). We’ll be cutting the heart open, would be nice if you knew what you were looking at ๐
BIOLOGY 12
Please be nice to the EOC ๐
No presentations today.
Dang. So looking forward to some pretty stellar meals and funny anecdotes (you know who you are)!
Make sure your powerpoint gets to carlsommerfeld@gmail.com by midnight tonight
~ study for your Digestion test/bring other work to Biology 12 today ~
(Josh is really sick and Alvares has course planning to do)
____________________________________________
Science 8 (BLOCK 2.4)
If you see this, be sure to tell the rest of the class.
Please use the old rayboxes and get a multiple slit, finish your Activity 5.7 from last class and then read and do Find Out Activity 5.8 (I think it’s page 190) with lenses.
Put Activity 5.8 with Activity 5.7 and hand them both in Next Tuesday Feb 7th.
Workbook 5.2 and 5.3 are also due Tuesday Feb 7th.
Biology 12 VITAMIN PRESENTATIONS START Feb 1st and continue Feb 3rd
We have struck a deal ~ You will present on 4 Vitamins and 2 minerals. The format will basically be Q and A (I ask questions about your powerpoint and you answer, the audience might also have questions ~ too time consuming to have everyone present a perfectly prepared presentation)
The rubric to help guide my thinking has been inserted above.
Please delete the last few lines on the Vitamin presentation sheet where it talks about each group member does 2 Vitamins and 1 mineral, this USED to be a group assignment.
Please email your presentation to yourself and me (carlsommerfeld@gmail.com) AND OPEN IT. If it opens on your end, it’ll open on mine.
NO USB flashdrives; it must be on an online platform (One Drive or something like that). Or bring your own device; laptop/tablet/whatever (no Apple products, I don’t have the connection for that).
The order of who is presenting when has been uploaded to moodle! Mr S used a random number generator. Some might want to go first, we’ll see.
February 7th RECTUM LAB IS DUE at the start of class please
February 7th DIGESTION RESEARCH PAPER IS DUE at the start of class please
Since no one can remember which is due when, the lab and paper are due the same day (thanks Anum)
Science 10: IF you missed Tuesday’s class and your study buddy is at Dairy Queen, please remember you have a quiz on Chapter 8.1 THIS THURSDAY Feb 2nd.
It involves graphing, which is being covered today! Hope you showed up ๐
