Week 3

It was a shorter week but we managed to pack a lot in today! Please remember to keep up with your reading and keep your notebooks up to date!

Biology

Today we viewed bacterial slides in preparation for our pond cultures next week. For Monday, read Module 2 to the end and answer the "OYO" questions and keep up with your vocabulary. For Wednesday, make sure you read over the experiment 2.1 so we can get started right away!


Chemistry

Today was a more complex lab (2 labs actually) that took several steps as we worked to calibrate our thermometers then we worked to calculate the specific heat of an unknown metal. Make sure you are reading over the labs we will be doing before coming to class so that you know what to expect. And I'll know to purchase ice in the future!!! I will be sending out an email individually to the students with sample data to help them through the calculations. Please try and work through them the best you can! We will go over the calculations as a group on Monday!

For Monday, you need to read Module 3 to p. 82 stopping before the Law of Multiple Proportions. We will also have a short test on Monday on Modules 1 & 2. We will be completing experiment 3.1 on Wednesday.


Advanced Biology

Today we finished out Module 2 and took a short test. I will have those graded and back to you on Monday. Read to p. 72 for Monday and do the "OYO" questions. We will be doing Lab 3.1 and 3.2 on Wednesday as well as the coloring exercise 3.1. Please make sure you bring your coloring books (sounds like preschool, huh!) with you each Wednesday. I know it's one more large book for your backpack but it will really help us with our identification!

I believe that's all for now! As always, I am available for questions if you have them!

Thanks for being such amazing students!
