Homework
 - Read pp. 68-69. As you read, pay close attention to the different cell parts and what they do.

Absent Students
Complete tonight's homework (see above). Finish your drawings for handout 22, label them, and be sure you follow the rules of making a scientific drawing. See yesterday's post for pictures of cheek cells. See below for pictures of a nerve cell. Also, complete the vocabulary table on the front of handout 22.

Handouts

Nerve Cell Images

Homework
 - Corrections for the lesson 3 reflection on Schoology due by Tuesday, September 30th at 8am. You must answer all questions again. The computer will randomize the matching so do not just re-enter your previous answers. If you do not need to correct a short answer question, please just say that you received full credit already.

Absent Students
Today we began our observations of animal cells. We made a scientific drawing of either our cheek cells or pig nerve cells. When you come to class tomorrow you will create the drawing that you group did not get to. For homework tomorrow night (not tonight) you will need to draw the other cell you did not observe. I've included some images below of cheek cells so you can see what some students saw in class today.

Today we took the cells preassessment on Schoology. Please complete this (it isn't for a grade). Then we filled out handout 21 as we played Cell Craft. Play the game for a few levels (no more than 20-30 minutes) so you can document some of the various cell parts.

Handouts

 - Handout 21: Cell Craft

Homework
 - No homework.
 - Please check your grades. A few students are failing due to missing work. If this is you, please schedule a time with me ASAP to make up your missing work.

Absent Students
Today we made our ponds and took photos of them. When you come back on Friday, be prepared to take a picture of your group's pond and collect the initial population of the Lemna.

Handouts
You received one handout today.
 - Handout 19: Pond Observations

Homework
 - IBI Lesson 3 Reflection on Schoology. Due Wednesday 9/24 at 8am.

Absent Students
Today we re-ran the pulse rate lab. Instead of running trials, we collected pulse rates from different locations on the worm. See the presentation slides from today (on here or Schoology) for our findings. Complete the Schoology reflection.

Handouts
You did not receive any handouts today.

Presentation Slides
Slides will be posted after 8th period.

Homework
 - Read pp. 49-53 in the textbook. Do not answer the discussion questions.
 - Corrections to lesson 2 reflection due tomorrow through Schoology. Fix any errors (see comments on right side of screen) and resubmit. Send me an e-mail so I know your corrections are in.

Link to Data Tables
 - Login with your WPS39 account to access the Lesson 3 data tables.

Absent Students
Today we measured the pulse rate of a black worm. Please read the procedure on pages 45-46 so you know: 1) what the pulse rate is and 2) how to measure the pulse rate. Also, complete the homework above.

Handouts
You received one handout for your binder today.
 - Handout 18: Blackworm Pulse Rate Post Lab

Resources
Here is a video of a blackworm's pulse.

Homework
 - Enjoy your weekend!

Absent Students
Today we took our microscope quiz and measured our blackroom. Be prepared to take your quiz on Monday. Also, review steps 1-6 on pages 45-46 in the textbook. Finally, download handout 17 to Notability.

Handouts
You received one handout today.
 - Handout 17: Blackworm Pulse Rate

Homework
 - Finish handout 16 (drawing and labeling). No measurement is required.
 - Microscope quiz tomorrow.

Absent Students
Today we completed handout 15 and began our drawing and labeling for handout 16. Please complete handout 15 and create your drawing/labeling for handout 16. You do not need to measure anything for handout 16. We will do that in class tomorrow. See the images below for what to draw.

- Microscope quiz move to Friday (yay!)

Absent Students
Review for your microscope quiz. Make sure the images/labeling are done for handout 13. You will need to schedule a time to complete step 7 on the bottom half. Also, download handouts 14 and 15. Complete #1 on handout 15 using the video and images below.

Handouts
