Please take some time and look over the Pig Heart Dissection powerpoint below. Pig Heart Dissection Powerpoint This will be just like the one we will complete on Wednesday. Be familiar with the names and parts.
Here is the image of the hear that you will use to trace the blood flow. Remember you will have a word ban kto help you out, but you need to identify the parts and how the blood moves.
Remember that you can also take some time to work on your Photosynthesis A-Z sheet!
I'd also like to reinforce that both groups did a wonderful job this week! We are very impressed with your work ethic, positive interaction, and critical thinking skills.
Today in science we introduced our new unit on Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which a cell captures energy in sunlight and uses it to make its own food (a type of sugar called glucose).
As a class we focused on a few key terms to know when learning about photosynthesis such as autotrophs, heterotrophs, pigments, chlorophyll, and stomata.
Tomorrow, we will start to dive deeper into the the process of photosynthesis. The reading for tonight will help reinforce our new understanding of how organisms get energy. The reading will also introduce the two stages of photosynthesis.
Here is the link for the reading from our Science Explorer text.
We also took the time to watch this three minute video from Discovery's "Greatest Scientific Discovery" series and learned about the experiments that enabled Priestly and Ingenhousz to "discover" photosynthesis.
