We will continue going over answers in class.
Period 2-3: please complete worksheets given in class.
Biology 12 1-2 Martin 25 Sep 2015
Continue with your reading on Biological Molecules (Unit A in workbook as well as Ch. 2 in textbook).
Mini Science 10 1-3 Martin and Science 10 1-1 Martin 25 Sep 2015
Work on the periodic table handout as a review only. Not for handing in.
Be sure you have read up to 4.2 in the text.
Biology 11 Martin 1-4 25 Sep 2015
Continue with reading of Unit B (workbook) and Ch. 15 (textbook).
Finish new microscope problems and cell chart.
Biology 11 1-4, 2-1 and 2-2 Martin 23 and 24 Sep 2015
Finish the microscope crossword and the microscope calculations worksheet.
Study Unit B in the workbook (Classification) and read text chapter 15. We will review the cell and then begin Classification at the end of next week.
Biology 12 1-2 Martin 23 Sep 2015
Read and be able to answer the questions for Unit A in the workbook.
Answer the questions given in class on feedback loops:
Explain the following factors as they relate to feedback loops in homeostasis:
Stimulus
Receptor
Input
Output
Response
Afferent and efferent feedback loops
As always, please list references for any and all sources you use.
Science 10 1-1 and 2-3 Martin 22 and 23 Sep 2015
Finish the diagram of the atom (see p. 170 or the workbook for some good examples). Label the diagram, and list as many facts/points about the atom and atomic bonding as you are able.
Complete section 4.2 in the workbook.
Go to periodictable.com. You were assigned a number in class. That number corresponds to the atomic number of the element you will research on the periodictable.com site. For example, if you were assigned #1 by me in class today, that means your element is atomic #1, Hydrogen. If you are #2, that is Helium, and so on.
You will make a mini poster for next class. On an 8.5 X 11 inch piece of blank paper (no lines), provide the following information:
On the mini poster, show:
the element name,
atomic number,
atomic mass,
whether it is a metal or non-metal,
its period (horizontal row on the periodic table)
its group(family) (vertical column on the periodic table),
whether it is a solid, liquid, or gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP),
some of its characteristics,
interesting facts,
and applications/uses (what do we use that element for?)
Include at least one image.
Please be sure to include references on the mini poster (list all sources that you used).
Biology 11 1-4, 2-1 and 2-2 Martin 21 and 22 Sep 2015
Read the remainder of Appendix C (p. 10 – 11 in reference section of textbook) on the care and use of the microscope.
Finish the microscope crossword. Clue 17 across is difficult to read on the handout. It is “1 X 106 microns (or micrometers).”
Be sure you have read and understood 5-1 to 5-3 in the textbook.
