Biology 12
The cell biology presentations were well done. I think we all learned a lot. Next class we will finish up the generalized animal cell and start looking at the cell membrane in more detail.
Biology 11
An evolution test will be coming soon. You will be responsible for 15.3 (p.378 - 386), natural selection on polygenic traits (p. 398-399), genetic drift (p. 400), and patterns of evolution (p. 435 - 440). You will get to make a study / summary sheet next class. Test will be this Thursday - November 7, but you can use your study sheet during the test!
Science 9
The Chapter 3 test is postponed to Thursday Nov. 7 (Blocks 2,3,4) and Friday Nov. 8 (Block 8), because of the take your grade 9 kid to work thing. You will be handing in your binders this week for evaluation. Remember to practice simple ionic formulas, multivalent formulas, and polyatomic formulas. You will be given the periodic table and the list of polyatomic ions...not to worry!

Biology 12
Test coming up next Monday - October 21. You are responsible for p. 504 - 511 (replication, transcription, and translation) p. 515 - 517 (mutation), and p 526 - 527 (biotechnology).
Use book questions and on-line past provincial exam questions to check your knowledge.
There are good youtube videos on all these topics...search and you shall find!
Biology 11
Great job on the DNA test...moving on to evolutionary biology!
Science 9
The Chapter 1 and 2 test was hard but you guys put in a great effort. Worksheet 3.1 should be finished by next class...lab coming soon!

Biology 12
Your work on Nucleic Acids and DNA replication should be completed by nexy class. We will be moving on to Transcription, Translation and cracking the code of life!
Biology 11
Your work on snorks - all 4 should be done by next class....well done today!
Science 9
Test on Thu / Fri on Ch 1 and Ch 2 ....You should have a clear understanding of the difference between atoms and ions and how this is shown in Bohr models.....among other things.

Sep 24 update
Biology 12
Test will be postponed to next class ...next Tuesday. Too much to do in 1 short class!.You need to know sections 2.3 to 2.7 in text..that is water, pH, carbs, lipids and proteins. We will do a thorough review tomorrow.
Biology 11
Get ready for your exciting Mendelian genetics test on Thursday! Focus on handouts and definitions. Key to sex-linkage problems will be posted tomorrow!
Science 9
We are at section 2.2 in the book....the meet the elements activity was a great success...well done! We are just starting the periodic table....test on Chapter 1 and 2 together will be coming soon...date TBA.

Biology 12
Hey people...... we have covered organic molecules (must have C and H !) and the section on Carbohydrates in the book....worksheets were handed out and mostly finished in class....well done so far!
Youtube dehydration reactions ( aka condensation reactions) and carbohydrates for more visuals. Next we will be covering lipids and proteins.
Biology 11
Hey class...we have finished "The History of Earth" - National Geographic- and your job will be to illustrate 4. 6 billion years of history in your poster next class!
Science 9
After our very exciting bag of change activity we worked on the table of physical properties of matter. You will have some time to finish this next class and then we move further along into atomic theory.

Hi, so far we have been spending a little time getting to know each other, discussing the course, expectations, and procedures.
Friday Sep. 6 / Mon Sep. 9
Science 9:
Hand in safety assignment - 1.1 worksheet and p. 4,5 from workbook
KMT summary p. 19
Copy Figure 1.10 p. 21
Reading Check 1-7 p. 21
We also have been watching "History of Chemistry"- a BBC documentary available on youtube.
Lab next class!
Biology 11
We are starting with an in-depth look at how the planet was formed and the first life forms appeared (ancient bacteria). Some of these bacteria started living in large colonies and evolved photosynthesis which changed the oceans and the air by introducing oxygen. Some of this oxygen eventually formed ozone which blocked a large part of the uv rays coming form the sun and allowed life to evolve on land.....
We have been using "The Story of Earth" - National Geographic as our guide and have completed Q1,2,3 in 17.2 of the textbook - Biology (Miller-Levine - Dragonfly cover)
Biology 12
So far we have discussed the chemistry of water, and some of the reasons why it is important to life. Today I will hand out text books and course outlines and continue in the study of chemistry with a particular emphasis on atoms, molecules, types of bonding, types of compounds, water and pH.
We will be covering (with worksheets and videos and some molecular models) Chapter 2.1. 2.2 and 2.3
I also plan on watching a bit of "From Big Bang to Man" from the Cassiopea project.
