Very cool…

Block 1.2 Thurs April 19th

Block 2.1, 2.2 Friday April 20th

Please remember: there will be a “layering” question.

In the Density Mystery experiment you did (p 266 and 267) you had to predict, and then measure, the density of 9 items. Layering them meant putting the item most dense, at the bottom, the least dense, to the top. Watch the youtube video to help you out with the concept of Density!!!

Monday April 23rd, group 1.1 presents. Feedback given, more group time for your projects and/or Planet Earth Video (we can vote/assess after the presentation)

Wed April 25th –> Quiz on 1.1, then presentations from 1.2 and 2.1

Oops… April 27th is a pro-D and we lose the Day 1.

Everything on and after April 27th changes to the following dates:

May 1st –> Quiz on 1.2 and 2.1, then presentations from 2.2 and 2.3

May 3rd –> Quiz on 2.2 and 2.3, then presentations on 3.1 and 3.2

May 7th –> Quiz on 3.1 and 3.2 then a presentation on 3.3

May 9th (CP Day) –> quiz on 3.3 and then Unit 1 Review

May 11th –> Unit 1 Exam, including chapters 1, 2, and 3 (you can bring your handouts in for this exam, the handouts from the presentations, add to them in your own handwriting)

Reminder, presentation on one day, quiz on that presentation at the beginning of the next class.

Block 2.4 Monday April 16th

Hints: know the processes of inhalation and exhalation (best to use your CLOZE notes, see Moodle) as one of them WILL be asked.

We’ll be starting the Nervous System soon, no test on this unit. There’s an Excretion test, then Reproduction will be included in the Final Exam, in June.

Block 1.1 is doing their debate, Thurs April 5th, Block 2.4 Fri April 6th, if you’re absent for the research period, you’re still responsible for having your research ready for the debate day of.
