Greetings Scientists,
On Friday you will be conducting an experiment to observe the evidence of yeast activity. Before performing the lab, you must take the time to answer the Pre-Lab Questions from the handout given to you today in class. The link to the reading "Chapter 15-Investigating Fungi II--Yeast" will help you answer these questions. Be sure to read pg. 180-182 and the Lab Instructions!
Chapter 15-Investigating Fungi II--Yeast
The Pre-Lab Questions must be completed by the start of class on Friday for you to do the lab.
Good Luck!

Tuesday February 12th - Lesson 8
Here is the link to the reading in Lesson #8 of Macro to Micro Text.
After completing the cell division simulation in class, Lesson 8.1 and 8.2.
Please complete the reading on pages 102-105 and the reflection questions on p. 101 #1 a-c.

Tuesday December 4th
Today the students are completing their Greatest Scientific Discovery Presentations!
They have been amazing.
This Friday we will have our first quiz over the Macro to Micro Curriculum. Here is the link to the study guide. A good process to use would be to be able to answer all the questions on the study guide. Tackle 2-3 of the concepts per night and come in Thursday with any questions.

Monday December 3rd- Parts of a Flower
Here are the notes we completed today.

Monday November 26th - CWB Eggs have arrived!
Wednesday of last week our Cabbage White Butterfly eggs arrived!
This past week we placed them on the radish leaves and additional cabbage leaves provided so they had something to eat when they hatched.
Today in class the students sketched both the egg and the larvae in the first instar stage of their life cycle. They were able to get very accurate measurements using our new digital microscopes.
Here are the pictures we took from class.

Wednesday - Microscopes!
Greetings All!
Today's goals for science were for students to:
After some great work over the past few days, students were finally able to take what they have learned about microscopes--the history, the purpose, the parts, etc.--and apply it to a hands on activity.
We kicked it off by going over "How to Use a Microscope" and applied the instructions towards our microscope labs.
Students used "Guidelines for Scientific Drawings" to create their own sketches of a cat liver.
Finally, the class was unleashed to apply all of their knowledge to the "e" lab. They took newspaper cuttings of the letter "e" and examined it through the lens of compound microscopes. Their sketches and observations were recorded here.
Homework Tonight: Continue reviewing material and handouts about microscopes and sketches.
Also read pg's 22-25 in Micro to Macro ("Intriguing Insects" and "Dr Matthews and the WOWBug"). Write 3 things you take away from the reading, 2 things you would like to explore in more detail, and 1 question you have.

October 23rd
Today in class students reviewed the parts of a microscope and then jumped in feet first to how to use a compound light microscope. We were fortunate enough to be granted money from the Yarmouth Education Foundation to buy a digital microscope and it was used for the first time today! Thank you YEF!
Here are the notes we took today in class on the parts of a microscope and also the different magnifications of the objective lenses.
Be sure to study up! You get to use the microscopes tomorrow to go through the letter "e " lab and also sketch a pre-mounted slide!

October 18th - Class Work
Links to the Sea Monsters. View the below links and find out what parts of the name were linked to their physical characteristics.
Dolichorhynchops
Tylosaurus
In class today the students started the mini-project "Create-a Creature."
They worked in groups to sketch the creature, list the physical characteristics and then submit the drawing to me to approve. Once approved they can start to create the creature out of various items found in class. Here are some photos from our construction phase today. The kids were very creative and had a blast!
Tonight's reading is page 6 and 7 and can be downloaded here.

Monday October 15th - Introduction to Macro to Micro
Today we started our New Unit- Macro to Micro.
The learning goals were:
1. Identify and list physical characteristics of organisms.
2. Understand how organisms earn there scientific name.
Students constructed a working definition of physical characteristics/traits. From this they practiced identifying traits of common flowers and animals.
