Week 7

Week 7 is completed and we're almost to the middle! Let's not lose our pace and keep working to finish strong!

Biology
This week we entered the Kingdom of Fungi. We took a walk this morning to find mushrooms which we dissected and attempted to find spores. We were able to find a few to view under the microscope. We also made slides from dissolved yeast which we stained to be able to see budding yeast cells. For next week, finish up module 4 and keep up with your vocabulary list and your OYO questions. Please make sure your notebooks are up to date! You never know when you might need them! Strong hint!

Chemistry
We finished out module 4 this week and worked on balancing equations. We also took a test today on Modules 3 & 4 and the grades were much better this time. We start talking about moles next week in Module 5 as we lead up to stoichiometry. Complete your reading to p. 149 and do the OYO questions as you read.

Advanced Biology
We finished up module 4 this week and took a test on Modules 3-4. The grades were great! Good work! We also had some creative fun time making all of the synovial joints out of edible substances! A great stress reliever after the test! For next week, read to p. 136 in module 5 and do the OYO questions and your vocabulary list!


If you missed a day this week then just go by the syllabus to know your assignment. If you missed a test, then I will be give it to you next Monday. Please try and bring it back to class with you on Wednesday.

Have a great weekend!
