classwork/Homework
Monday IB Biology - Today you were lucky enough to hear a great presentation by Ms. Cook about application and scholarships for nursing school. If you have follow up questions for her, please email me and I will forward them to her. IN the meantime I would like you to complete the DBQ from Friday if you haven't already and to redo the health supplement project that many people didn't complete according to the guidelines (see Thursday last week). Tomorrow we learn about enzymes. Biology - Today we started our lab to find out the answer to our big question of who to save first, the guy lost at sea or the guy lost at the lake. We created simulated people using tissue from a potato. We weighed the initial weights and tomorrow we'll see what happens. We may also try again on Wednesday if we don't have any affect. In the meantime, tonight I want you to read the following article and on the left side of the Lost at Sea entry, I want you to describe how fish and sharks survive the saline environment of the ocean and then to make a Venn diagram that compares diffusion and osmosis. the article can be found at: https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/water-h2o-life/life-in-water/surviving-in-salt-water/ Honors Biology - Today we started our lab to find out the answer to our big question of who to save first, the guy lost at sea or the guy lost at the lake.

In the meantime, tonight I want you to read the following article and on the left side of the Lost at Sea entry, I want you to describe the health affects of drinking salt water, how sea animals survive the saline environment of the ocean and then to make a Venn diagram that compares diffusion and osmosis. the article can be found at: http://science.howstuffworks.com/science-vs-myth/what-if/what-if-you-drink-saltwater1.htm Tuesday IB Biology - Create a summary of the notes today using the following vocabulary terms: enzymes, substrate, pH, temperature, competitive inhibitor, non-competitive inhibitor, and denaturing. Underline your vocab words in red. Also, be sure that you have some idea of how your enzyme lab will be conducted, where you can buy materials, and the chemical reaction for your enzyme. Biology - Today we looked at the two lost at sea survivors to judge their condition in fresh and salt water after we reviewed the article from last night. Then we tried to explain their condition by discussing diffusion and osmosis. This movie helped with that conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu6A-eZ05fE Lastly you had to make a diagram of how the two concepts work using only 6 words to help you explain. This will be turned in tomorrow when you have to write to me about who we should save first.

Wednesday IB Biology - Today we began our experimental design on the function and limitations of enzymes in hydrolysis. Your job today, as it is for tonight, is to complete the design of your experiment. IN designing the lab you should have a title, introduction, your question(defining of the problem), your hypothesis, your selected variable (IV, DV, Constants, and controls), materials, and procedures. Once you know what you are doing, please divide up the work and share your pieces so everyone has their own copy. Biology - Today we went back to the ideas of diffusion and osmosis. We looked at the Lost at Sea experiment to make a final decision about who we should save first! This was written up as a Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning paper. Oh, and when you were done, you turned in your diagrams from last night. Lastly, we then looked at how the small intestine absorbs the nutrients using this image: http://kids.britannica.com/kids/assembly/view/107046 . Tonight I want you to just update your table of contents. Honors Biology - Today we went back to the ideas of diffusion and osmosis.

Tonight I want you to just update your table of contents, but then on the left side of your entry I want you to describe how the kidneys operate in maintain homeostasis by regulating salts. In other words exactly how do kidneys deal with the salts in your body. Details please. Thursday IB Biology - Today we reviewed the material for the enzyme quiz tomorrow and then worked on putting our final touches on our experimental design on the enzyme lab. Did you send me your materials? I can't get your consumables, but I can get you the lab equipment you need. Biology - Today we applied our our knowledge of diffusion and osmosis to look at the small intestines where a chunk of nutrient uptake occurs (see yesterdays posting for the picture), but while this wokrs for small molecules how do big molecules get through? We'll need to look at cell membranes. ...but no before we briefly talk about blood and its main components. Tonight I want you to create riddles for the 4 major components using the guidelines listed in the resource pages under "Become the Riddler." This should be placed on the left side of the entry we created on blood. If you don't do it all that means no credit!

If you don't do it all that means no credit! I know some of you struggled with the kidney filtering so get that done tonight if you didn't already do it. Friday IB Biology - Today was the final day that you have for preparation for your lab work. Please take care of any materials you may need to have by Monday. Also on Monday I'll have a rubric for you so you can make sure you are constructing your report properly. Biology - You got to play with the website on membranes, https://biomanbio.com/HTML5GamesandLabs/Cellgames/celldefensehtml5page.html but there is no homework! See you on Monday! Honors Biology - Today you played around with an online interactive and took a bunch of notes. This was so you could get an understanding of what cell membranes are made from and what they do. Tonight, on the left side of your entry, I want you to develop three follow up questions about cell membranes. Here's on the online membrane activity: https://biomanbio.com/HTML5GamesandLabs/Cellgames/celldefensehtml5page.html
