Thanks Dana!

Hey guys. Friday was a pretty busy day. To start off, everyone handed in up pages 25-32, and took out their other homework so Ms.Stein could stamp it. Next, We did our POD. The plant of the day for Friday was the madagascar plant, which was pretty neat! After that, we discussed Transpiration activity, and each lab group showed what they really knew about it. To continue with transpiration, we did a Demo lab. Luckily, Ms. Stein got a great volunteer, me, and I helped her and desribed to the rest of the class what the specimens looked like. Here are a few pictures showing what we did:

After doing the Demo lab shown above, we did a virtual lab at our lab stations. In this lab we also looked at transpiration, and we used the booklet shown below, to help determine the rate of transpiration.

We pretty much worked on the lab until class ended.

Hello! So In todays class, we did many things. We started off with everyone recieving a grade report, then you collected your papers off the lab benches if you did them. Although Mrs. Stein didn't hand back our tests, the grades are on the grade reports. If you have any special questions or if you want to go over your test, please go to the TLC or ask her for special questions. Also, by now you should have your turnitin.com account completely set up. If not, ask Mrs. Stein for help. Or you can look on moodle. While discussing the cancer paper assignment, which is due monday, we talked about plagerism and how to site your quotes and information. Dont cheat! Also, Mrs. Stein said that she will be posting a link on moodle to show you how to correctly site your information.
Next, We started our new unit on infectious diseases. Heres a little bit of the notes that we took:
Disease: Any change that disprupts the bodys functions.
Pathogens: Agents which cause infectious disease.
We didnt take many notes today, because we spiced it up and played a game! ZAP! In this game, you tried to avoid getting "zapped" by the person who was infected by the disease in which our case was Swine flu. In the second round, a little more than half the class was vaccinated and there was still one zapper. I think that a lot of people in the class really enjoyed this game!
Hw for tonight: - UP 4-5
- Finish your cancer paper!!! Due Monday. ( If you need a copy of the rubric, look on moodle!)
Thats all! The next scribe is... Caroline! ^.^
