Continue reading the chapters on evolution. We will continue with the Galapagos Finches activity next time.
If you haven’t yet written the safety test, please see me asap. Thank you.
Mini Science 10
Be sure you have done the practice problems for balancing and classifying chemical equations. Section 6.1 reading should be done (factors that affect rates of chemical reactions).
Biology 11 – all
Practice questions on evidence for evolution as well as elephant evolution should be completed by next class. Be sure you have read the textbook sections that accompany the evolution topics we are covering.
Science 9 – all
Sections 6.1 in the workbook and reading in the textbook were assigned.
Poster on asexual reproduction due next class (section 5.2).
Make sure you and your group are ready to present (30 second – 1 minute) next class.
Poster must include title/topic, labelled diagram (big, clear), 1 – 2 bullet points (in your own words) explaining the type of asexual reproduction, references on the back, and names of group members on the front.
Be sure spider map, reading about mutations, and reading about asexual reproduction are all complete. Spider map and lab 5-1C were collected.
Science 9 2-1 and 2-2 24 Oct 2016
Finish lab 5-1C (calculate the percentages for the class data and answer the analyze and conclude/apply questions. Be sure the lab is neat and clearly written. Re-write or type it, if necessary.
Biology 11 2-3 24 Oct 2016
Continue reading chapter 13 (evolution). Summarize the articles assigned in class and present to class next time (one paragraph, 1 – 2 minute spoken presentation to the class).
Mini Science 10 2-4 24 Oct 2016
Read 6.1 (types of chemical reaction) and determine their characteristics (what are the patterns that can help you recognize them?)
Why does the book list six types of reactions, while some sources only refer to five?
Science 9 1-4 20 Oct 2016
Finish reading lab 5-1C in preparation for the lab next day. Be sure to bring the first part of the lab that was started in class.
Biology 11 1-1 and 1-3 20 Oct 2016
Finish part IV of the case study. Begin reading chapter 13 on evolution.
Summarize the antibiotic-resistance-articles and prepare a short presentation to explain the main ideas to the class.
Mini Science 10 19 Oct 2016 Block 2-4
Work on balancing equations (p. 211 and additional problems throughout section).
