Fighting Disease...

3/25/2015

0 Comments

 
Today we wrapped up the virus video and discussed how to keep ourselves healthy!  Read pages 60-65 and take notes that answer the key questions listed on page 60 (notebook page 125).  If you were absent you missed great music and class work time.  Tomorrow is Plague, Inc. time... we have the app for the ipads so no need to purchase BUT if you already own the app you can bring your device tomorrow for science class!  THIS WEBSITE is pretty amazing to discuss gene therapy and allows YOU to interactively explore fixing genomes!
We will revisit keeping healthy when we return from break as we discuss bacteria's role in our lives.

Today we discussed more about viruses and fighting the diseases they cause.  We will continue both the video and the discussion tomorrow.  THIS SIMULATOR is fun to run to explore vaccination rate effectiveness as well as the effects of population numbers and population mixing.  We will explore these factors as we play Plague, Inc. Thursday in class (bring your own device if you already own the app).  Stay healthy!

Today we began our understanding of viruses... not quite a living thing yet quite annoying TO living things!  We created a venn diagram comparing and contrasting viruses with living things (pages 40-46 in the textbook; page 123 in your notebook).  Tomorrow we shall explore more with viruses (and vaccination!)...

Today we took a quick SWYK to show what we know about classification.  Good work!  We also discussed the tree of life and the 6 kingdoms and their characteristics.  And then there is that swing... VIRUSES!  More on viruses and diseases (especially fighting them) next week!  IF you still didn't finish classification work you have a busy weekend ahead of you since you sure didn't work much this week!  HERE IS TODAY'S VIDEO AGAIN!  IF you were absent today PRINT THIS and attach to page 122. You also will make up the SWYK next week.

Today we began understanding how scientists classify organisms.  Homework is notes using outline structure.  Not sure what to do?  READ THIS  Tomorrow we shall discuss scientific naming as well as begin learning the levels of classification we currently use.  The notes are YOUR investment into learning the content... the activities we do over the next few days in class are MY investment in your learning.  Let's work together here!
