We were missing a lot of students today due to the PSAT as well as illness. We are officially over the halfway point and now is the time to reach deep for more energy so that we can finish well. I know many of you have lots of assignments piling up, but I encourage you not to fall behind on your reading or your notebooks. Class will go so much smoother if we are all on the same page!
Biology
We worked with bread molds and cheese molds today. Not many things gross me out, but blue cheese sure does! For next week, read to p. 140 in Module 5 as we begin the "Chemistry of Life"! You will need to choose one experiment - either 5.1 or 5.2 to complete at home. Please make sure that you do the write-up for the experiment that you did at home because we will be sharing results in class!
Chemistry
Today we reconstructed a model of the decomposition of water. It took a little problem solving, but both groups got positive results!
We are entering the world of moles as we get ready to hit the heart of chemistry - stoichiometry! Please finish reading Module 5 do ALL the OYO problems! These give you valuable practice as we start to work with converting from grams to moles. We will finish Module 5 with ample practice converting!
Please make sure that if you do not understand any of the concepts, that you don't wait until right before a test to tell me. I am more than willing to help but I can't do that if I don't know you're struggling.
Adv. Biology
With only 2 students today, it was a very laid back class. We viewed striated muscle under the microscope and worked on coloring exercises 5. 1 and 5. 2. Please complete these coloring exercises at home!
We will finish reading Module 5 this week. Make sure you keep your vocabulary up to date as well as the OYO questions. !
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Matthews
