Today we had a visit from Igor and learned a bit of carbon dioxide chemistry.  This week we explore the characteristics of living things and dive into cells!  IF YOU MISSED CLASS TODAY ... what a bummer!

Today we continued our discussion of the Cell Theory and added Hooke, Leewenhoek, Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow to our GOSATOT.  We also discussed the concept of "What does it mean to be Alive" and discovered there is an organism that doesn't seem to die (WATCH THIS).  IF YOU MISSED CLASS TODAY click the links and learn!

Tomorrow you will combine classes with Mr. Eash since I will be gone for the day (remember Hero is the theme for Paideia costumes if you choose to dress up).  You will explore chemicals of life. 

​Wednesday we dive into Characteristics of Life.

More Giants in Science ... and one cool tool ...

Today we took the Show What You Know for microscope parts and use.  IF YOU MISSED CLASS TODAY you will need to take the SWYK when you return AND read a bit about the history of how cells were discovered AND who created the Cell Theory (All living things are made of cells; Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things; and All cells come from other cells).  We'll discuss more Monday!

Today was our last day (for now) to zoom in and observe with microscopes.  Don't worry... we will use scopes throughout the year as we zoom in and out to study life!  Feel free to explore this site's VIRTUAL POND DIP and see some of the critters we saw today and more!  Tomorrow is our SWYK on microscope parts and use.  Be sure to review your parts AND know how to use the scopes!  IF YOU MISSED CLASS TODAY OR ANYTIME THIS WEEK you still SWYK tomorrow... be ready!  REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!

Today we continued using the microscopes!  We made our own slides to use!  Tomorrow we will use the dissecting (AKA binocular) microscopes and learn how to use depression slides.  Tonight you will continue your review for the SWYK  Friday.  IF YOU MISSED CLASS TODAY you missed more microscope fun!  Come in during Study Hall tomorrow morning (or lunch) and SEE what you missed! THIS IS A FUN SITE FOR EXPLORATION AND REVIEW if you are reviewing today or even want more microscope stuff!

Hey Avogadro ... I got your number ...

Today we began our understanding of the parts and use of the microscope.  Tomorrow we use the scopes!  Tonight you need to begin the learning of the parts and their jobs (SWYK on Friday).  IF YOU MISSED CLASS TODAY you can PRINT THIS INFORMATION and attach in your notebook on page 36.  Remember there are always Giants in Science who ask questions and find answers ... wonder what Avogadro asked?

Today we took notes on how living things are organized in the universe: atoms to molecules to organelles to cells to tissues to organs to systems to organisms to populations to communities to ecosystems!  Wow... quite a lot of organization!  

The current cell theory states that all living things are made of cells, cells are the basic unit of structure (building blocks) and function (all those necessary processes to stay alive), and all cells come from other cells.  We will explore this theory as we venture throughout this school year.  Will we use science and engineering practices still even though the unit is done?  YES!!!  Answers to our questions come from applying those steps.  And sometimes we need to change our conclusions!

IF YOU MISSED CLASS TODAY you will need to get the notes you missed AND leave your notebook with me upon your return to class for a notebook check.  Next week we learn about microscopes!
