Students will be able to:
use information from internet access, textbooks, virtual activities, hands-on laboratories, and/or classroom discussions to
-summarize Mendel's role in the history of genetics.
-explain the relationship between genootype and phenotype.
-compare and contrast homozygous and heterozygous alleles.
-apply concepts to complete punnett squares to predict the genotype an phenotype probability of an offspring.
Students should remember to turn in the home learning 9 on Meiosis.
Students did the essential lab on human genetics and heredity. The lab will be continued tomorrow.

These are the instructions for SS3. Follow them carefully!
Students will be able to:
use information from internet access, textbooks, virtual activities, and classroom discussions to
-identify the digestive organs and explain their functions.
-desribe the pathway through the digestive system.
-specify the parts that form the skeletal system.
-explain the functions of the skeletal system.
-summarize the functions of voluntary and involuntary muscles.
Students received the instructions for Short Story 3, which can be found at the top of this blog.
Students updated the interactive notebook by adding all assignments for this grading period to Assignment Sheet 3.
Those students missing pages from the front of the notebook were given those pages. The back pages will be distributed tomorrow.
Students should complete the Discovery Education activities for the muscular system.

Tuesday, 15 through Thursday, 17 February, 2011
This is HL 8. ALl three sheets are to be done, in order on ONE sheet of loose leaf, correctly headed paper, using blue/black ink or pencil. Follow all written directions, placing answers only on your paper.
Students will be able to:
use information from internet access, textbooks, virtual activities, and classroom discussions to
-identify the digestive organs and explain their functions.
-desribe the pathway through the digestive system.
-specify the parts that form the skeletal system.
-explain the functions of the skeletal system.
-summarize the functions of voluntary and involuntary muscles.
Students did a Crunch time probe on the digestive system for their do now on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, students will be taught by Mrs. Broas from the Region, so there will be no do now.
On Thursday, students will have a mini-assessment as their do now.
Students will be working on learning about several body systems. They will do Discovery Learning explorations on the digestive system, the skeletal, and the muscular system.
Students also saw a BrainPop on Body Systems.
The home learning for Tuesday can be found at the top of this blog.

This is HL 7. Follow directions and place answers on correctly headed loose leaf notebook paper.
Students will be able to:
use information from internet access, textbooks, virtual activitie, and classroom discussions to
-explain cell growth and division in multicellular organissm as the mechanisms by which organs and tissues are formed and repaired.
Students took a quiz on cells as their do now.
Students then completed their Cornell notes for the cells notes, pasting in the Discovery Learning activity as notes, and copying the questions in the questions section, while answering them in the notes section. Don't forget to coordinate the questions and answers with your highlighters and summarize the notes. There WILL be a notebook check this week!
Students then did another Discovery Learning activity on mitosis. This will also be placed in the notebook as notes.
The home learning can be found at the top of this page on mitosis.

Students will be able to:
use information from internet access, textbooks, virtual activitie, and classroom discussions to
-compare the parts and functions of lplant and animal cells.
-observe differnt cells and identify their structures.
-construct a visual display of the parts and function of a school comparin them with those of a cell.
Students did an FCAT transparency for their do now.
Students reviewed home learning on the cell.
Students spent the remainder of the period completing notes form Discovery Learning on the cell. If you were absent, you can complete the activity at home by going to Discovery Learning sign in for students, and entering your user name and password
username=miami_youridnumber

This is HL 6. Follow all directions. Use blue/black ink or pencil.
This is HL 5.
Students spent the day reviewing the recent winter interim assessment. Since we did not finish, we will continue the review on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Mrs. Broas reviewed information on density.

This is HL 4. Note: The pages you received in class were on the same page. If you are turning in THIS assignment from the internet, you must head a sheet of loose leaf paper correctly, number your paper 1-15, and write the correct answers on your loose leaf paper.
Students will be able to:
use information from internet access, textbooks, virtual activitie, and classroom discussions to
-compare the parts and functions of lplant and animal cells.
-observe differnt cells and identify their structures.
-construct a visual display of the parts and function of a school comparin them with those of a cell.
Students took notes on cell parts of both plant and animal cells. Students drew the cell parts, as well as defined the organelles within the cells.
Home learning can be found at the top of the page. Keep one page to place in your notebook, and submit the other for a grade.
