Science 9 - Homework from Friday was corrected in class, answers are now posted on the main feed. Students also started working on their planets project. This is also posted on the main feed for those students who were absent from class today and wish to get a jump on it. Please note that presentations will start on Thursday, February 10th and not Wednesday as is indicated on the assignment.   Biology 112 - Students learned about the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus in class today (see link below) and its importantance on research. We reviewed the organelles of the cell that were assigned for homework in class and also looked at the microscope and how to operate a compound light microscope. Students will be in the lab tomorrow and Wednesday working with microscopes, preparing their own slides, and working on their lab write ups.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU-yq_IJhtU

Science 9 - Students examined the planets today in class and will be starting a planet project on Monday with presentations on Wednesday. Questions 1-5 on page 419 were assigned for homework and will be checked on Monday.   Biology 112 - Students were reminded about their timeline assignments that are due on Monday. Students reviewed the organelles of a cell today in class. Most were able to recall the functions of the organelles from grade 9 science which allowed for a more in depth look at the organelles of the cell and their functions. Students were assigned to finish their organelle function outline for homework. This will be reviewed on Monday in case any mistakes are made.

Science 9 - Homework was corrected, the answers are posted on the main feed. Students learned about the movement of the Earth in class today. They will have a short quiz on this at the start of class tomorrow.   Biology 112 - Students had a quick follow up in regards to the impact the surface area:volume ratio has on cell size. Students were then given a timeline assignment (posted on main feed) where they will learn about spontaneous generation and how it is no longer accepted in the scientific community. This should lead students to the development of the cell theory which was discussed in yesterdays class. This assignment is due on Monday, February 7th.
