Today we spent time in class completing the Cell Model Assessments, focusing on making sure that all students were quizzed on organelle purposes for plant, animal and bacterial cells.
If you were out and haven’t turned in your cell model, or taken the quiz, , see me to turn in your cell model, and to arrange when you will do the quiz portion of the assignment.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND SEE YOU IN 2016!

Today the cell model projects were due, and in class we had a quiz on the function of all the cell parts that we discussed in class for plants, animals and bacteria.

Today we reviewed the meaning of producer, consumer and decomposer and wrapped up the activity in which we were identifying producers, consumers and decomposers and linking them together to make food chains. See me for a copy of the handout, complete the activity and show it to me.
We also talked about Osmosis vs Diffusion. If you were out, copy the notes below to your journal on page 47:
Stand alone lesson 2: Moving Particles
Key Question: How can particles move from place to place?
Diffusion - movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area where they have a low concentration.
Osmosis - the diffusion of water across a cell membrane.

Today we reviewed the meaning of producer, consumer and decomposer and continued the activity in which we were identifying producers, consumers and decomposers and linking them together to make food chains. See me for a copy of the handout, complete the activity and show it to me.
Copy the notes below to your journal on page 45:
Stand alone lesson 1: Trophic Levels (Say What?!?)
Key Question:L What is the meaning of “Trophic Levels?”
Producer: Organisms that make their own food, often out of CO2 and H2O using Sun’s energy.
Base of most food webs
(Producer = Autotroph)
Consumer: (Heterotroph) must consume other organisms for food.
Decomposer: (also heterotroph) break down dead organisms or animal waste for food.
Trophic level - position within food web(chain (bottom, middle or top)

Today we reviewed the meaning of producer, consumer and decomposer and started an activity in which we were identifying producers, consumers and decomposers and linking them together to make food chains. See me for a copy of the handout, complete the activity and show it to me.
If you were out, be sure that I’ve seen your completed Cell Model Project Proposal, written on page 42 in your journal that describes what materials you will use, how you will use them and how you will label all the parts of the cell. After I’ve approved your proposal, you can get started. See the previous Agenda Blog entry for a link to the project requirements handout.
NOTE THAT TUESDAY, Dec 15, WE didn't have a normal schedule, and no makeup work is required

Today we went over the matching part of the handout called “All Kinds of Parts” that had to do with comparing parts of the cell and their functions to parts of a city to help with understanding. If you were out, see me for the key.
Today the class was assigned a Cell Modeling Activity, and we went over the handout that described the requirements for the Assignment. If you were out see me for the Cell Modeling Project handout, read it, and let me know if you have any questions. It is due on Friday, December 18.
Here is the Handout for the Cell Modeling Project.

Today we read from a handout titled: Cell processes - if you were out, see me for a copy. We also talked about analogies and how what goes on inside a cell to keep it alive can be compared to what happens in a city to keep it running, to help us understand what goes on inside the cell. See me for a copy of the handout: the Cell as a City, and do the quick matching activity to practice this idea.

Today we had a discussion of what models are, and how they are used in math and science (and related situations in life)
.
If you were out, copy the following notes on modeling to page 43 in your journal:
U2Act4: Models and the Cell
Key Question: how can we model the cell?
What are models and why do we use them (in math and science)?
Model: A representation of something else in the real world, possibly simplified, to help with understanding.
What are some different types of models?

If you were out, complete, and then show me your completed Onion and Cheek Cell page 2 (why stain specimens?) questions which were homework last night.
Turn in yesterday;s cell drawing activity, if necessary.
Copy the summary for U2Act3 - comparing cell structures (iCell) to page 34/35 - your Unit Connections pages.

Today we worked on drawing animal, plant and bacterial cells. If you were out, see me to get a copy of the handout for the activity and for specific directions. This activity is to be completed for homework tonight. You can use your any notes taken in class as well as iCell on your ipad. Also for homework, If you haven’t already finished, be sure to finish the last two questions on the Cheek and Onion Cell lab having to do with why stain is sometimes used when preparing slides to be viewed with a microscope. This will be checked in class tomorrow.

Today we finished going over the handout that was done on Monday with the sub titled “Eukaryotic Cells, the inside story. If you were out, see me for the key to check your work.
Quiz corrections to the assessment on Unit 2, Vocab set # 1 are due Friday Dec 4, and are mandatory if you got less than a “2” on the quiz. If Corrections not turned in by Friday, I plan to contact home.
