Science 8:  The "Cup Experiment" was collected today, after we added the Title, Purpose, and Materials section to the front.  We made a place mat and learned about Nutrient Categories by reading pg 64 - 69.  On Tuesday we will mark pg 63 # 1-10.

Science 10:  We started with a quiz on Human Reproductive Anatomy.  We went to the library to research how flowering plants reproduce sexually.  The Assignment, which is due Tuesday, is outlined below in blue.

Meiosis, Sexual Reproduction, and Heredity                                                Science 10

At the library, you will spend 20 minutes learning by reading, and taking brief notes.  Allow yourself about 5 minutes of video learning, and use your headphones.  Spend 20 more minutes creating a mind-map or mini poster that answers these questions:

A      How do flowering plants reproduce sexually?

B      In what structures do meiosis, fertilization, and embryo development occur?

Finish this for Tuesday, but limit yourself to 20 minutes of focused work outside of class.

Marking guide:

-Point form notes are created that attempt to answer the questions posed.

-Miniposter shows some level of organization.

-There is considerable connection between Questions A and B and the content on the miniposter.

-The amount of detail and number of key terms show that new learning has occurred and is consistent with a 60 minute deadline.

-you are able to explain your miniposter to someone verbally


Earth Science 11:  We started with a mini review on Atmospheric Science topics and cloud formation.  Then we did a worksheet where thermometers were read in order to determine the Dew Point temperature for several scenarios.  We finished with a You tube video called Luke Howard, the man who named the clouds.
