Tuesday, Dec. 21

1. WIKI Chat Grade 5s

2. CELL is LIKE:
- Check to make sure that you have shared your working document and that you have access to your rubric.

- That you have shared what your topic is and suggested one possible example for a connection to a part of a cell.
- You should have one consistent theme to which all aspects relate back to.

What could I work on over the break if I wanted to :)

- Make Sure that the evolution package is complete. (you worked on this during the first semester)

- CELL IS LIKE:

a)  You have selected your topic and shared it in a google doc or through an email if you are using another method.

b) You have shared one example of a comparison to part of a cell.

c) SAMPLE FORMAT:

Example: Cholorplast:

    - Science: This organelle is where photosynthesis takes place, it is only found in plant cells, etc.

    - Your Connection: In my example, I have compared the cholorplast to the ______________  because __________________________________.  (Reasons include connections to water, carbon dioxide, light energy, sugar and oxygen, etc  - for a level 4 - you would be delving into the details of the photosystems, light and dark reactions, how water breaks down, etc.

d) REMEMBER:

- If you would like to improve your unit 1 mark on RNA Transcription or Protein Synthesis - you may complete the basic version required by this assignment which gets entered as another unit 1 mark.

   --> You also have the option of creating a more detailed explanation/comparison as it fits with your part of the organelle.

What to expect in 2011....

-Wed/Thurs/Friday (first week back) - wrap up evolution discussions and start into genetics  - practice lecture and note-taking with netbooks.

- Genetics: 

  - Mono & dihybrids, incomplete and codominance, multiple alleles and X-linked traits

  - Genetic engineering discussion - collect any articles that you have to share in this discussion

  - Hardy Weinburg Principle
  - Linkage - 

Cells Unit Exam Reminders:

• Check out sample questions on our wiki.

Remember to study using your Concept List page as I will provide a copy of this for you as a reference during the exam.

Exam Outline:

Multiple Choice - 25 (10-15 minutes)

Short Answer - 11 questions (some with multiple parts i.e. photosynthesis and cellular respiration)
 (45 - 50 minutes)
