"Teach Me How to Bucky?" Scribe- October 21, 2010

Hey Class!

On October 21, we started off class by listening to Mrs. Steins new favorite song, "Teach Me How to Bucky", while writing down the homework for the weekend. Next, Mrs. Stein had us go up and get our homework checked in (which was pages 4 and 5 from the Unit Packet) and she also gave us a NEW homework stamp sheet. Then, we discussed our homework and the zapper game from last class. We went over how the Zapper game and viruses are similar. We discussed how computer viruses and disease-causing viruses are alike, as well. Since someone was absent the day we played the Zapper game, we begged Mrs. Stein to play it again. So the entire class played two more games of Zap! After that, Mrs. Stein pulled up the slide show and we took notes on "Spread of Diseases". We learned that diseases are spread by physical contact, contaminated food or water and vectors which are animals that carry diseases. Lastly, we watched a video about "Disease Warriors. This video was interesting because it showed us how viruses could be spread, wether it was from another person, or by animals. It also showed how some vaccines were created. Earlier in class we were assigned homework for the weekend. The homework is the following:

~Read section 20.1 with 6 questions AND answers

~Watch out, Grandma! Disease postcard project ( Due November 8th)

~Remember to finish the Cancer Paper (Due Monday)

If you need any rubrics or the format for 6 types of Q's and A's, then look on Mrs. Steins homepage!

Hello everyone!

We started off class today by turning in our "Check My Understanding" sheet (pages 226-228 + 250-251) which was due today. While we were turning the homework in, we collected two papers from the counter. The large green paper that we got was the "Prelab for Diffusion Lab" and the other small paper was a diagram of cellular respiration. Next, Mrs. Stein showed us the rest of the slide show which gave us information about the mitochondria(converts chemical energy), biochemical energy(cells store and release energy using ATP), cellular respiration(energy fomr glucose is released), lysosomes(breaks materials down into small molecules to be reused), vacuole(stores materials), cytoskeleton(provides support/shape and is involved in movement) and cell walls(provides protection and support). Mrs. Stein said that if you could not finish all the notes, then she would have the slide show posted on the blog. After watching the slide show, Mrs. stein explained the homework to us. Also, Mrs. Stein announced to us that the Cell Quiz will be on THURSDAY instead of Wednesday.

The homework is as follows:

-Read diffusion prelab on pages 33-34 in your Unit Packet.

-Finish color code and annotations

-Read all of 7.3..... If you were in my row, Mirella's row, Dana's row or Amandas row, you were assigned to do ENDOCYTOSIS and FACILITATED DIFFUSION and the rest of the class was assigned to do MOLECULAR TRANSPORT and MITOSIS. (ex. http://gbs-moodle.glenbrook225.org/moodle/file.php/1521/Reading_Strategies/Definition_Mapping.pdf)

-Reminder: there is still time to do the extra credit!

For the remainder of class, we worked on our homework!
