Functions of Cell Membranes

November 28th and 29th

CW:  functions of cell membranes
HW-bring in any supplies you need for your CELL R US project.

Today in class we started an experiment to investigate the functions of the cell membrane.  Here is the lab....Egg Lab. We will finish the experiment on Thursday and Friday.  For the rest of class we worked on our Cell R Us project.


p.s.  Many students are missing there photosynthesis/cellular respiration foldable.  Please turn it in!

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

November 7th-16th

We are continuing with our investigation of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.  Students are working on WISE .  When you log into the system your username will be first name last name and birthday...it looks like this FionaR0703 and the password is one you chose.  If it does not work, you might need to click on "forgot password" and follow the prompts.  It has been acting funny.

CW:  investigate photosynthesis and cellular respiration
HW:  study organelles for re-quiz

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

November 3rd (A day) and November 4th (B day)

Agenda:

1.  Write down your CW and HW in your planner.

            CW:  Photosynthesis

            HW:  Study Organelles if you got an N or S on quiz

2.  Chain note-  Have one person at your table write the following on a piece of paper.

What we know about photosynthesis? That person should answer the question in a COMPLETE SENTENCE.  Each student will add one COMPLETE SENTENCE to the chain note.  Make sure you read the previous sentences so that the next sentence makes sense.  Keep the note until later when it gets back to the first student.

3.  Watch, Where Do Tree Get Their Mass, by Veritaseum

     I will pause the movie at various points for you to answer a few questions.  

4.  Sign back into WISE and begin the activity on photosynthesis and cellular respiration.  (20 min.)

5.  Look back at your chain note, highlight or star any idea that might have changed since working on WISE.  Add one more complete sentence as a table group and continue working with your clock buddy.

6.  Continue with WISE....when you get to 2.17 please come and get an experimental design sheet from Fiona.

7.  Look at the chain note again. Correct any ideas that were wrong and add one more complete sentence.  

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Agenda:

1.  Fill out planner:

              CW:  Clock Buddies + Sign into WISE

              HW:  If you got a N or S on your quiz, make flashcards of the eight organelles and STUDY!

                       Cell Membrane, Cell Wall, Nucleus, Mitochondria, Golgi Body, ribosome, chloroplast, 

                       Vacuole

2.  Fill out your clock buddy and glue to the inside cover of your science notebook.

3.  Go to WISE and create an account.  We will be using it in the next couple of days.  

4.  Tomorrow is the field trip for 1/2 of the 7th grade.  Make sure you come with pants and closed 

     toed shoes!

Organelle Quiz

October 31st (A day) and November 1st (B day)

Agenda:

1.  Write down CW and HW in your planner!

         CW:  Take Organelle Quiz and Finish Cells R Us Planning Sheet

         HW:  Finish Planning Sheet

2.  Get Cells R Us groups

3.  Go over the project and create a PLAN!
