In the beginning of class, Mrs. Stein went over the agenda, which included the homework pass. Mrs. Stein described how important homework passes are and when we can get them. The deadline is next Wednesday, November 10, 2010. They are really reliable to stay away from a zero on your grade print-out. Nevertheless, next we went over Dana's scribe from the previous day about the lab we did. We then transferred to another topic on how the results were surprising. Some had swapped dirty objects and some other objects that were not as quite obvious to have many bacteria.
The Disease of the Day is: #6 Tuberculosis. (In our 'Current Infectious Diseases' chart).
- agent of disease: bacteria
- endemic
-spread through air (airborne)
-infects lungs, brain, kidney, and spine
-treated with antibiotics
In class we took notes on Antibiotic Resistance.
This just basically included:
-natural selection
-mutation~spontaneous
-conjugation
-problem in hospitals
In relation to the D.O.D., Mrs. Stein asked the class who was born in a different country. Nobody raised there hands . . . except me. I was born in Poland, and therefore, I have the vaccine mark on the my left shoulder ( a little lower). Mrs. Stein also said that I am immune to Tuberculosis, but if they tested me here in the United States, I would come out positive. Also, Mrs. Stein added that this doesn't mean that I have it, it just means that the vaccine/antibiotic is resistant/not resistant towards the disease. (I didn't really know how to explain this very well...)
For the rest of the class, we got to work on UP 22-25 (packet). We could, with a partner or individually. It was based on Eva's story on when she fell from her bike. If we didn't finish, unfortunately, it became homework.
Today, was full of information.
The Homework:
-UP 22-25 - tomorrow
-"Immune System" Tree Map
- read 35.2 / 1st page of 35.3-Postcard 11/8
-Postcard 11/8
-Test 11/9
- HW Pass by next Wednesday!
P.S. If you have trouble with the tree map, here is the link to the format on Moodle:

We always learn something new in Mrs. Stein's classroom every day.
Since today was late arrival with thirty-five minute classes, the class began by walking in, picking up a sheet and a picture, and sitting down. The sheet was our homework, and the picture was to tape into our notes. After organizing ourselves, Mrs. Stein asked for everybody to have their stamp sheet and their Estimation of Cancer Risk Graph located in the UP packet (55). Continuing the morning, Mrs. Stein had notes on the Smart Board for everybody to copy down - there is a picture of them on the left of this scribe. The notes were on the Cell Cycle and basics about it. The cycle has four stages, in which chromosomes take place. The cycle consists of: Interphase (G1), S Phase, G2, and the M Phase. Cells undergo these stages in order to grow, replicate, prepare for mitosis, and finally, divide. Chromosomes are in the cell, and they are the ones that do the jobs. After taking notes for about twenty minutes, we were allowed to work on our Mitosis (65) Worksheet. We had to annotate, and on the back, color the appropriate structures the appropriate color. Since that was fifteen minutes, the bell rang and class
was over. We walked out with our heads filled with science and looking for tomorrow.
HOMEWORK:
1) Annotate the Mitosis worksheet (with notes in the margins!), and color code the back.
2) Start Cancer research.
3) Cancer essay due 10/25.
