The class started off with an attendance question and then we did these two sheets on microscope review and the following lab on mitosis after. Second block, we drew out the female and male reproductive systems using page 109 and 113 in the textbook. Students labeled different parts with numbers and while they played Uno they had to identify the number of the card they laid down.
Please draw out your own properly labelled female and male reproductive systems for homework! And complete the following sheets if you were not here. The class demonstrated their knowledge of mitosis and meiosis by pretending to be centrioles, cell membrane and chromosomes and moving around the classroom. Then, they demonstrate their knowledge again by using pom poms, beads and pipe cleaners to visually show what happens to the chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis.
Today we marked the physics quest from last week and then we worked on our homework for the last few minutes.
Please hand in your cell biology worksheets from last class if you did not hand them in today! Today we continued on learning about mitosis, meiosis and reviewing organelles in animal and plant cells. Please complete all biology worksheets for Monday if you did not get them done in class! The class started off with an attendance question and then we did the physics quest. After, we watched the following videos on electricity safety to finish the uint. To end the class we started our new unit of cell biology! We did some white boarding focussing on our cell knowledge from last year and then did this mitosis unscramble... Please hand in your mitosis unscramble! Today was dedicated to reviewing physics.
There is a 'quest' on Thursday, please hand in your review that day! Today the class got this 'Physics Review' and took the following notes...
Types of Electric Charge -Static Electricity is caused by the accumulation of charges on an item, knows as an insulator -Current Electricity is caused by the movement of charge through an object, known as a conductor -Insulators do not allow electrons to move easily Ex. oil, fur, rubber etc. -Conductors do allow electrons to move easily Ex. copper, gold, aluminum etc. -An object is 'grounded' when it is connected to earth (<3), so missing electrons or extra electrons can be balanced. Earth is so big (and beautiful) that it can receive many electrons. Law of Electric Charge -protons have a (+) charge and electrons have a (-) charge -opposite charges attract and like charges repel -only the electrons are transferred Please complete the 'Physics Review' and bring any questions you have to class on Tuesday! Today the class started off with an attendance question and then we did a silent group circuit white boarding activity. Next, we tested ohms law with resistors and a multimeter. Then we completed the static electricity lab on page 292 in the textbook.
The Current and Ohms worksheets were reviewed as a class and then students worked in small groups using whiteboards to answer questions about voltage, resistance and current in parallel circuits.
The class reviewed the 'Virtual Electricity Lab' together and then handed their documents in.
The class started off with an attendance question and then worked on their electricity worksheets from last class. After break, the 'Virtual Electricity Lab' on Teams was worked on.
Please use this answer key to make corrections to your electricity worksheets and hand them in on Monday! If you were not there on Wednesday, please do the Virtual Electricity Lab and hand it in on Teams. A homework check was done to start the class and students answered the following questions...
Notes... The symbols for a voltmeter, ammeter and resistor were added to the last physics notes and Table 1 on page 320 was copied into notes. Calculating Current: I=Q/t (triangle) I=current (amperes, A) t=time (seconds, sec) Q=charge (coulombs, C) 1C=6.25x10^18 electrons Examples...
Please work on these worksheets at home and bring any questions you have to class tomorrow! The Circuits Lab that was done last class was reviewed. Then students used voltmeters for the first time in circuits that they had made.
Please read pages 310-313 + 320-322 in your text book for homework! The class received their Chemistry Tests back and Progress Reports for Term 1. I then spoke with each student individually to check in and see how the course is going for them so far. After, a predicting parallel and series circuits activity was done. Happy weekend :)
Please bring back your signed Progress Reports on Monday! An attendance question was done to start the class. Next we did a white boarding activity answering the questions below... then we took the following physics notes. After break, I read out loud pages 302-304 and 315-317 in the textbook and then we worked on making different types of circuits with lights, batteries and switches!
-What is physics? -What is voltage, resistance and current? -Why do batteries have a + and - side? -How can electricity be dangerous? Notes... -Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, with its main goal being to understand how the universe behaves. Natural science that studies matter, motion and behavior through space and time, energy and force. V -When an electron has the ability to move in a circuit, it has potential energy. Voltage is the difference in potential energy between two points in a circuit. Volts, V. I -A voltage source pushes electrons through a circuit creating a current (the flow of electrons). Measured in Amperes/Amps, A. R -A load (like a light bulb) slows down these electrons to transform their energy into another form (light and heat). This slowing of electrons is called resistance. Measured in ohms, Ω. -Electrons flow from the negative terminal of a battery to the positive terminal of a battery. -Table 1 on page 304 was copied out with the addition of resistors. The chemistry tests were marked as a class and reviewed at the same time - great work everyone!!
