classwork/Homework
Monday - I'm out today! Follow the instructions listed here...
IB Biology - Big idea Question to guide us: What is a cell? What is its structure? Why is this the smallest unit? This is the title of your notes. NOTE: How do we take notes? Be a note taking STAR: Set it up, Take notes, Analyze what you've read, and Reflect when you have answered all of your questions. See the example at the bottom. Please just go to the next page for more notes, do not write on the back of your notes! You'll be using this method to take Cornell Notes on chapter 1.1 in your book. Topics that must be covered in your notes: Cell theory (and exceptions) Cell differences in Uni and multi-cellular organisms Limitations to cell size and why Cell differentiation in organisms Gene expression in cells Stem cells and types (and ethical concerns) How to use, and the parts, of light microscopes. As homework you will receive a handout called "The class of 2018 long Jumpers" By Wednesday I want you to analyze this data and explain to me how you would rank these jumpers (1-5) by how good you think they are, and then explain statistically why you ranked them the way you did. Be sure to quote the data. Claim (your rankings), Evidence (data/plots), and Reasoning (explanation). This will be graded on a five point rubric: 3=states a basic claim by sorting all five jumpers, does not quote all data, or explanations are minimal. 4= Like a 3, but has solid reasoning, uses all data. 5=like a four, but adds additional information such as outlining how we can get better data on our jumpers through improving fictional processes. Biology - Our big question for today is How did elements to make these molecules get here? This should go at the top of your note paper. You will watch both of the following videos (yes, you can watch them multiple times) and take notes on the how the elements form and how the Earth formed. video on star fusion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neMEo8ZrwuI&index=12&list=PLro6PRe2pzoie462IV07goqNModCSNroI&t=16s video on planet formation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mcC8kFacrk&index=13&list=PLro6PRe2pzoie462IV07goqNModCSNroI&t=182s When you are done watching and taking notes I want you to take another piece of paper and divide it into SIX equal squares. You will now use at least four colors and create a storyboard (like a comic strip that explains how the elements were formed and got here. You can search storyboard if you don't get what I'm talking about. You ONLY have 6 squares so be careful on what you choose to include. This is due tomorrow and will be worth 3 points to your grade. If you do not follow instructions your will receive a 1. If you complete the project with minor errors or is partially illegible it will be a 2. A three is assigned for work that is completed properly and has extended the research to include information outside of the assignment. If you need an idea of how to go beyond, read the description of what the honors class is doing below. Honors Biology - While you will be doing the same basic concept as the biology class, I would like you to extend your story board by two or three more panels (total of 8-9) to show us how Carbon specifically gets inside of our bodies. This will require some research on your own part. The answer is not as difficult as you might think, but read and analyze. Tuesday - I'm out today! Follow the instructions listed here... IB Biology - Using Cornell Note taking style... Cover Chapter 1.2 - Ultrastructures of cells - This is your note totals. Topics you must address: Prokaryote vs eukaryotic structure Prokaryotic fission Comparison of light and electron microscopes Drawings and function of each organelle (Be neat ) Basic structures and function of the Pancreas. How to draw tips can be found on pg 5 of your book Complete drawing/ID activity on Page 25. HW: Finish 1.1. And 1.2 if not completed. Be sure to also have your notebook and some tape and glue ready for tomorrow. Biology - Today you will first turn in your storyboard, and when you do you will receive a packet from your substitute. No storyboard = no packet. Finish your work! This packet is on biological molecules and should give you EVERYTHING you need to answer the question we started with last week about how are macromolecules classified. You must complete the packet up to Problem #17. You will be receiving three points for this work as well, do it right! You will give this to me tomorrow. Make sure you have every note and every supply that is required because we'll be setting up your notebooks tomorrow. Honors Biology - You will be completing a macromolecule packet like my regular biology course, but I want you to go one step further and to complete the entire packet, NOT just to #17. It's only 5 questions more! Make sure you have every note and every supply that is required because we'll be setting up your notebooks tomorrow. Wednesday - Today was really about getting everyone organized. We set up notebooks in every class and now we're ready to keep moving on with content. If you're one of the people who is struggling to keep up you need to start to come up with a new plan so you don't get behind. We're rolling now. IB Biology - Tonight I need you to address chapter 1.3. This section should be the first section where you get some new info. In your notes you should include: Structure and components of the Phospholipid bilayer Membrane protein diversity. Why cholesterol is found in animal cell membranes, and potential problems? Compare Davson-Danelli model to Singer-Nicholson (illustration or written) Draw pg 31 Membrane Structure and label Biology - Tonight I need you to update your table of contents that you created today. Then I need you to highlight those word roots that you already know. That's all for tonight, unless for some reason you didn't do your work from Monday and Tuesday. Honors Biology - Since today was really just about getting organized just follow the instructions for regular Biology. Thursday IB Biology - Today we reviewed what work we've done so far in chapters 1.1 and 1.2. Then we took time to review how to use the microscopes. Tomorrow we will be using the scopes so I need you to complete your Data Based Question found on pages 6 and 7. Please be sure to take notes on the use of the microscope and how to calculate the size of something on the right side of a new entry and the DBQ on the left. OH! Also bring in some tissues to examine tomorrow. Remember, it must be thin! We can prep it here in class though. Biology - Today we spent our time reviewing the origins of elements. Then we looked at how polymers form. Tonight I want you to list the many functions that each of the macromolecules perform in the body. This goes on the left hand side of "Organic Compounds Are Your Friends." This information isn't important to the test you will take tomorrow. Remember, tomorrow you will be taking a new sheet of molecules and be classifying them into the 4 groups you know they belong to and explaining why so be prepared. Honors Biology - See above. I would like you to also be prepared to discuss the functions of these macromolecules as well. Friday IB Biology - Today we looked at the Long Jump assessment. While most of you did really well some folks are mixing up the idea of what a box and whisker plot shows you. This data showed us precision, but not accuracy, and would give us good information about jumpers as well. When I see you on Monday I need you to be prepared to play with microscopes! This weekend I want you to find some organic tissues that we can view under the microscope. I'll have some stains that you can use. Biology - So today we took a quiz on what the macromolecules look like. I'll have those back to you on Wednesday at the latest, but we're going to continue to push to learn more about the molecules that make us up. So to prepare you need to think about the following terms: organic, polymer, monomer, amine, nitrogen base, phosphate group, carbohydrate, protein, lipid, and nucleic acid. Think about what they mean and how are they related to each other. Honors Biology - Today we got our first scored work back. I know some of you are disappointed, but we do have high standards. But also know that I will always be there to help you out. ALWAYS! SO, since the quiz was a bust, we will pick up the pieces on Monday. Don't worry and enjoy your weekend.
