- Once we have settled down, everyone has gotten a Student Summary Detail Report (basically, your grade report). If you had any questions about this, you should have a talk with Ms. Stein in private.
- After that we have talked about the cluster map here on the blog and that someone in the middle of the US has checked it out .. creepy.. To make it even weirder Mr. Sheller comes in the room with one eyebrow cocked and looks over us and then leaves.
- After all this commotion we have all picked up our new Unit 3 Packet and the blue assignment sheet if you didn't get one earlier.
The New Unit!!
- The new unit is about cells. And the theme is cancer. What is cancer? Cancer are mutated cells that can divide/multiply out of control. This process is commonly known as mitosis.
- The class has brainstormed for a minute of what we knew about cells. After that we shared our thoughts with the class.
- After we got the general idea, we went over a couple power point slides Mrs. Stein has put up on the smart board. It mainly discussed the levels of organization, the cell theory, and cell specialization. It was basically a review but you should get the notes from a friend just in case.
- Do you remember we had to rate ourselves on our test on Tuesday of how we can perform with a microscope without looking over the guidelines in our packet? Well, after we took our notes we were put into assigned groups (so there is one person who knows extremely well how to handle a microscope and one person who can use some more help) and practice how to use the microscope.
Homework and Upcoming Quizzes:
- WE HAVE A QUIZ TOMORROW OF HOW TO HANDLE A MICROSCOPE WITH A SLIDE!
- We have to read 7.1 and take double bubble notes. You were to compare Eukaryotes Vs. Prokaryotes.
- Moodle was down yesterday so you still have today to finish any discussion questions that you haven't done so already.
- Rememeber to do extra credit! Only one visit counts for points but volunteering more for fun won't hurt!
