Today in class we spent a little bit of time on remediation of the Ecology unit. We then moved onto the Atom notes-reviewing atoms and molecules. If you are struggling with Atoms, Bill Nye has a really fun video that some students find helpful.

Today in class we took a test on the Ecology Unit. If a student is unhappy with their grade, they can come and retake the entire test (before or after school) after studying to try and get a better score and show mastery.
Way to go! You have completed the Ecology test. We are moving onto a unit on Chemistry next. You can work on remediating your Brine Shrimp lab now if you need it. If not, please take a look at these sites while you wait for everyone to be done with the test as well.
1. Skyward- check you grade in this class and talk to Mrs. King if there are any issues. 2. Darwin Adaptations game 3. Scale of the Universe 4. Amazing Periodic Table 5. CHNOPS, what? Today in class we worked on bettering our understanding of the Matter Cycles through an iPad research. I have links to videos that would be helpful to you as well as links to small articles to read. Please look at these and do further research if you feel as though you need it. We will have a Mastery Check next time on the four cycles.
Today we finished the Brine Shrimp lab. This is being graded as an cumulative assessment of what has been learned this year up to this point. Students should have turned in the lab, completed by the end of the day Friday. It will not be considered late if turned in completed Tuesday.
Today we will be spending a few minutes remediating as a class the previous unit. Then we will take the first Mastery Check of the Ecology Unit before moving onto a lab concerning the life of Brine Shrimp. This lab will take at least two class periods to complete.
Today in class we spent time reviewing what was learned last week. We talked about the energy pyramid and compared it to the numbers pyramid and biomass pyramid. We then walked outside and find a small ecosystem in the grass to evaluate with a worksheet called Measuring an Ecosystem.
If you were absent, please print that out and do it at home. If you need to make up a Mastery Check from the Scientific Method/ Graphing Unit, please do so before or after school as soon as possible. I would like to have all grades updated by Thursday of this week. Today, with the substitute, students will be working on a Matter Cycle research using the Biology textbooks. Once this is completed, students should keep the textbooks out to write definitions of the vocabulary words for this unit. These vocabulary words were given last week, on the paper with the I can statements for this unit and the SMART goal. Please email me with any questions regarding this at [email protected].
I am going to have a substitute this week while I am at a family wedding. While I am gone, today students will be working on the Energy Practice, which was given to them last Thursday. Once that is complete they will be moving onto the packet called Separating Facts from Fiction where they will read two articles about the same thing and try to see which one represents bias while the other is factual.
