Today's Sub Plan

For today: First Students need to watch the following clip: DO THIS AS A CLASS https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/developmental-biology/development-and-differentiation/v/somatic-germ-cells Next Students will use the chrome books to find images of the following cell types: Muscle cell, neuron, red blood cell, intestinal epithelial cell, taste receptor cell, macrophage Obtain a piece of white paper (there is a stack on my desk)  and fold it so that you have 6 different boxes on one side. In each box sketch out one of the assigned cells  then color it (at least 3 different colors) to show details specific to those cells. Label each cell with it's various parts (ex. for a neuron you would label the axon, dendrites and myelin sheath) then label each box with the cell type illustrated. feel free to use my coloring supplies up front Put your name on the back and hand it in before leaving  Homework - start this in class if you have time! DNA coloring sheets!

Honors Project Posted- ALL classes window panes not due until next MONDAY

All honors students will be participating in the following edX  program for the next 6-8 weeks: https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-to-animal-behaviour This course if  FREE!

Please create your login using your Gaston county schools email so we can work on these in school when time allows.

Last week for grades for this first 6 weeks!

Window panes for 'Bioenergetic reactions" is due this TUESDAY, October 2nd. Here's  a copy of the list if you lost it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wMdD1hb_sFjgC41UJbNi4Ql5-ourbZrs55B1f8zQZ34/edit?usp=sharing If you were absent or re-taking/ taking a test in class on Friday here is the documentary you missed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Fq2mOCTX6k    You need to watch it! ALSO- If you have not completed any of your previous word lists you should have those completed by Tuesday October 2nd  if you want to receive a "re-take" project grade. REMEMBER- your homework window pane grades will be averaged for a test grade at the end of every 6 weeks. If you've only handed in one set of window panes then that means you'll receive a 33% test/ project grade.   FIX YOUR WINDOW PANES TO IMPROVE YOUR GRADE!    THE PREVIOUS LISTS ARE ALSO POSTED ON THIS SITE IN PREVIOUS POSTS.

TEST FRIDAY
