Wednesday and Thursday November 29-30

The last two days we have been covering osmosis and diffusion.  The students have been observing demonstrations in lab. 

Diffusion Demonstration: 
*When iodine contacts starch a purple color is seen.
Diffusion is the process of a substance moving from a high concentration to a low concentration.  The cup represented the cell environment while the baggie represented the cell membrane.  StudentsThrough the demonstration, we saw that only iodine was able to diffuse through the baggie.  The starch molecules were too big to diffuse.

Osmosis Demonstraion

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a cell membrane.  Look at the observations we made to see what happened to the egg (cell).  

Tuesday November 28

Today we had a class work day for our cell analogy poster.  The rubric for the project is posted below.

Today we talked about the methods used for getting things into and out of a cell.  The notes are below.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Monday-Tuesday November 20-21

Today and tomorrow students are working on a cell analogy poster.  Students will take the time in class to choose a plant or animal cell for their project, then they will decide on an analogy for each cell part.  An example of an analogy is on our bellwork for today.  The poster is due Dec. 4.
A copy of the rubric can be found here.  Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the cell analogies rubric file.

Monday November 13

Today we continued to color cell organelles in the plant and animal cells.  Students who were absent can find a link to the color pages and answer keys here.
The answer keys are also posted below.


Plant Cell Coloring Key

Thursday November 9

Today we began a plant and animal cell coloring page.  Students are beginning to learn the different parts of the cell and the differences between a plant and animal cell.  Anyone who was absent can find a link to the coloring pages and the answer key here.  Scroll down and click on the animal plant cell coloring page.

Wednesday November 8

Today we took time to write the 3 parts of the cell theory in our notes.  We also played a Kahoot review game.  QUIZ TOMORROW over the scientists and how they contributed to the cell theory.

Tuesday November 7

Cell Theory

Today we watched a Ted Ed video introducing the Cell Theory.  Please watch the video by clicking the link below.  We also took notes over the scientists who helped develop the Cell Theory.  Please make sure the notes are in your notebook.  Copy what is printed in yellow.
