April 18
Tuesday	I will start class and then I have a Digital Learning PLC, so here is the plan. 20 minutes - Grade 5 project (until 9:20) - Check Function info and leave comments or suggestions for the grade 5s.  Finish research on your assigned organ.  If you have time check for an experiment. 15 minutes - work on Transport in Cells digital product.  Try to finish - I would like to work through them in class on Wed. If done try the types of solutions worksheet. If you are done with that you can work on the Evolution worksheet package.	Transport in Cells Post digital formats here for transport in cells.
April 19
Wednesday	1) Protein Synthesis Assignment due - Use the rubric and checklist provided to self assess your project.  Answer the journal questions on the rubric.  - Listen carefully about the instructions on how to proceed with your assignment. ** You must submit a copy of your assignment today. 2) Grade 5 Project - I have had a few group updates from you yesterday.  Where are we at?  Are the functions pages done?  Are you done your organ research? Skype with the Grade 5s 3) Link up your Transport in Cells Page 4) Present transport in cells info to the class. 5) Correct the worksheet on types of solutions. 6) Did you draw out your concept?	Transport in Cells Post digital formats here for transport in cells. Worked on Protein Synthesis Reflection.  If you chose the option to extend you are responsible for ensuring that I have the updated copy by the start of class on May 2nd. We worked through the grade 5 project. Transport in Cells - Diffusion Concept Reviewed in Class.
