Beginning of Reproduction

We started the day off by picking up a new calendar and unit 6 “The miracle of life” Reproduction and development packet. We then took our first notes, Reproduction in Animals, and learned that there are two ways of reproduction: Asexual and Sexual. We went over the Reproduction and Development in Animals Chart. Then we watched a very interesting movie called Nature of Sex. The movie was mostly about animals having sex. Our Homework was:

1) Label UP 5-8 and with functions and descriptions use 34.3 and online links-Due Wednesday.

About The Day: 10/25/10

This morning we started the class off by turning in our cancer papers in the red bin. Then we discussed our thoughts on the Small Pox film from last week. We will be watching more videos from this series later on in the year. We answered questions and wrote them down from our homework. Mrs. Stein brought up the epidemic in Haiti and how it relates to today's lab (Who Infected Whom? UP 6-9). The point of todays lab was that there was a virus being spread in GBS. Many people were coming down with this illness. Out of all the people that got the illness, one person was carrying the illness in their body but they had no symptoms. This person is called a carrier. In our lab Ed was the carrier. We did this lab until the bell rang. If you need help with the Picture+ Words here is the general format.

Homework for 10/25/10:

-Finish UP 6-9: due tomorrow

-Read 20.2 w/ "In Picture + Words": due Wednesday

-Postcard: due 11/8/10

-Quiz Thursday

In Biology class today, we started off with Turning in our Cornell notes which were due today for homework. Then, Mrs. Stein checked in page 14 in our packets and gave us a stamp if we had it completed. We then went over page 14 and that led us into taking notes. These notes were over the main ideas of food chains, energy flow and the biosphere. We received this piece of paper that helped us better understand producers and consumers.
(sorry the picture is blurry) After taking our notes, we jumped into an activity on page 19 of our packet. We had to answer questions about food chains, webs and biomass pyramid.

Tonights homework is the finish your Rip-O-Meter lab write up and read section 3.3 and complete the “picture this” strategy. To get to the “ Picture this” strategy, go on to to the biology page on moodle and go to Reading Strategy Resources. I believe it is the first one.
