Study Guide for Thursday's Assessment

Here is the Review Powerpoint for the Circulatory and Respiratory Assessment.

Circulatory & Respiratory Study Guide

Both Systems:

Major structures & functions

• Circ. - Heart, blood vessels, blood
• Resp. - Lungs, diaphragm, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli

How the systems work together to collect & distribute oxygen & eliminate wastes (CO2) - Essay question

Circulatory System:

Functions of the chambers of the heart:  

• Atria - Collection, Ventricles - Pumping chambers

Blood flow throughout the heart & body

• PHSchool.com, code CEP-4031

Cardiovascular health - Diseases & preventions

• Heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure & atherosclerosis
• Healthy diet, avoid smoking, fatty/salty foods

Respiratory System:

Gas exchange process - What happens in & around around the alveoli in the lungs - Essay (see above)

Mechanics of breathing - Role of diaphragm in breathing

• PHSchool.com, code CEP-4041

Gasses in the air - Oxygen = 21%

Air passages & how they help in maintaining respiratory health

• Moisten, heat & filter the air we breathe

Friday April 5, 2013 - Study Guide

Here is the study guide for the Assessment on Cell Processes.

Be sure to fill this out over the next few days and check in with your teachers on any questions prior to Thursday April 11th.

Wednesday -Thursday 20- 21st - Study Guide and Comparing Active and Passive Transport

Today we made a comparison between active and passive transport using a Double Bubble graphic organizer.

Here are some pictures of the carousel activity that we completed Wednesday.

Here is a link to the the online BBC Webquest.  I emailed this to your school accounts as well in a Pages format so you can type right into it.

Here is the Cell Transport Study Guide for Friday's Quiz.

Here is a final BBC Video that is very good on osmosis and diffusion.

Here are a few good review question on plant cell osmosis.

Here is a great visual of the effect of osmosis and blood cells.

Here is a look into today's review session using a cafe style review technique.

Study Guide: Cell Cycle Assessment 

Prepare to answer the following questions:

1. What is the cell cycle & why does it occur?

2. What are the 3 major stages & at which stage do cells spend the most time?

3. What major events occur during interphase?

Mitosis: Prophase, metaphase, anaphase & telophase

•  Know mitosis stages by picture 
•  Know the order of the stages 
•  Know what occurs in each stage

4. What is cytokinesis?

• How does it differ in animals and plants?

5. What makes up a chromosome? The different parts. 

6. What makes up a DNA? The different parts. 

7. What is meiosis? Be able to compare and contrast meiosis and mitosis

• type of cells they occur in 
• # of cells they have at the end of division 
• # of chromosomes compared to the parental cell are they genetically varied?

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 October 1st

Students worked on the citations in their Invasive Species Projects today.

In addition I handed out a Practice Quiz to the students to complete.  We went over this in class and I fielded any additional questions on the Study Guide.  Students should complete a final 10-15 minute review tonight. 

Here are some links to some Ecology Games to help you study.
Consumer, Producer & Decomposer Identification
Food Chain/Web Game
Another Food Chain/Web Game
Yet another Food Chain/Web Game!


Invasive Species Projects have been moved to a Due Date of Wednesday October 3rd!
