Once you take the Cells test, remember to not talk to neighbors as this is considered cheating. Please do the following in order, you do not have permission to play games before completing these steps: 1. Check you grades on Skyward. As I am not available today, please plan on coming to see me before or after school to make up Mastery Checks, or come talk to me ASAP to get on the Enrichment list. 2. Organize your binder according to the notebook organization. You must stay in the computer lab to complete this. You cannot go back to the classroom for other materials. We are having a random binder check sometime next week. 3. Visit all the links on this page: learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/basics/ and be able to answer the following questions: - What is the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction? What are the pros and cons of each type genetically? -What are the different blood types and what do they mean? -What are some different types of mutations and what are their affects? -How is a gene translated? -What is the genetic code? -What is RNA? -What is the central dogma? -Who discovered the structure of DNA?

Today in class, we watched The Cell and completed a video guide. It was turned in at the end of class. The Amazing Cells and HeLa worksheets given last time are due Tuesday. Have a great weekend!
Today in class we took Mastery Check #3 on Active Transport, Diffusion and Osmosis, and Photosynthesis. We then had an ethical conversation about HeLa cells and whether or not it should be legal to take a sample from someone with the intent to make a profit without permission or contribution to the patient. We then moved onto the Amazing Cells. I have informed students that we will be watching a film on Cells Friday as it is a short day and they may bring snacks.
Today in class, we reviewed the Active Transport notes from last time, some students took Mastery Check 2 from last time. We then went into the computer lab to do the Photosynthesis/Respiration Lab.
Today in class we had our Organelle Election. In A1, the Mitochondria was elected. In A2, the Rough ER was elected. In A3, the lysosome was elected and in A4 the Mitochondria was elected again! We then set up a lab next time showing diffusion through Gummy Bears and talked about the difference between hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic.
Today in class, we went over the difference between heterotroph and autotroph. Then we moved onto the Organelle Election. Check out the mudslinging that was done! Next time we are going to be completing day 2 of mudslinging and working on the campaign flyer and poster. These should be sent to Mrs. King or printed off so that they can be reviewed as a whole.
