This week we will begin the week by going over the test the students took last week. After we go over the test on Tuesday we will wrap up the topic with a 30 minute video wrap up. The students will be starting a similar topic to what we did the past few weeks... Mitosis is the reproduction of one cell into two daughter cells with the same genetic material. Students will learn about this process and the other processes that can influence it in a thing called the cell cycle. The cell cycle is basically tells us each step the cell takes to replicate itself. Over the first two days of the week the students will be lectured about mitosis and the cell cycle. They will be provided with materials to help them with studying this material along with ample opportunities to show comprehension of the material (class work and bell ringers). The students will be lectured on Thursday as well, but the topic will be expanded to talk more about the limitations of cell division, cancer and checkpoints in the cell cycle. Friday will be used as a laboratory day to investigate mitosis and the different stages that are able to be viewed under the microscope. Worksheets and lab due at the end of the week.

Biology--

This week the class will begin the week by finishing a laboratory exercise on Monday using potatoes and seeing what occurs when placed in several solutions. This shows the process of diffusion and what can occur at the cellular level. The remainder of the week the students will be lectured on different aspects of the cell. On Monday the students will learn the important differences between the different types of transport that occurs in the cell. Tuesday, the students will be learning about energy and how it is made inside the cell. Wednesday, the students will learn more about the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, Glycolysis and fermentation. Thursday will be used as a review day and the students will compete for extra points on their exam by playing on teams. Each of these days the students will receive an assignment in class that will help them review for the test on Friday. The week will culminate with a test on all the material they have learned on the cell, their organelles and the processes that occur within the cell.

We will start our week finishing our lab on organelles and cells. Before the end of class we will review in prep for tomorrow's QUIZ. On Tuesday, the students will have the quiz and then complete any parts of the lab that hasn't been finished to date.Lab report will be due Wednesday and must be finished for homework. Wednesday, after labs have been collected, students will have a chance to get creative working on an advertisement about cells. This is the last part of the cell folder. Completed folder project is due Friday. On Thursday lecture on the transport process of cells will begin and carry into Friday.Before the end of class Friday we will set up an osmosis lab using potato....results will be read on Monday next week.
