Day 1

Sub Plan 9/30 - The baby is here and I will be gone all week. Complete the following work. We will not go back and talk about these things again, you are responsible to know this material.

You have several things to do today: you will take notes and do a color sheet. These will both be due today. Turn them into the basket before you leave.

Cell Theory and it's evidence:
Watch and take notes on this video on the Cell Theory and it's evidence: Evidence 
Video
Here is a power point to look over and take notes on the same topic.

Cell Types - Prokaryote vs Eukaryote
Cell Theory Video - Watch and take notes on the differences between cell types.
Here is a power point to look over and taken notes on the same topic (Slides 1-12). Focus on c
ell types and characteristics of those cell types (similarities and differences)

​Color Sheet

Day 2

Sub Plan 10/2 - The baby is here and I will be gone all week. Complete the following work. We will not go back and talk about these things again, you are responsible to know this material.

Today's topic: Organelles
Here is a power point to look over and ​write notes on each organelle. You need to have notes on each organelle, these notes will be turned in.
Watch this video and add to your notes on organelles: Cell Organelles and their Function & Similarities and Difference Between Cell Types - From Bozeman Science. Remember your notes on the Power Point and Video will be turned in.

Cell City Assignment - Instructions:
Cells have many structures including organelles that are necessary for the cell to function.  Cities have many things, buildings, government, power-plants, roads, etc..  that can equate to cell parts. In this assignment you will make a drawing of a city on one side of a blank sheet of white paper. The picture must be colored and each of the things you place in or around your city must be the equivalent to a cell part or organelle for a PLANT CELL. On the back of the drawing you need to write each organelle you used and which building it is equivalent to in the city drawing. For examples see this link.

Cell City is not homework, bring it back and you can finish it next class.

Day 3

Sub Plan 10/4 - The baby is here and I will be gone all week. Complete the following work. We will not go back and talk about these things again, you are responsible to know this material.

Today's Topic: Cell Organelles and Cell Size
​
The first thing you need to do today is finish your cell Cell City Assignment and turn it in. Cell City is due today!
​
Surface Area/Volume Ratio Lecture: Cell Size and Surface Area to Volume Video Good Explanation Video - From Science Music Video,  How to do the Math - From Mr. Catterson. Watch and take notes on these video's. Your notes will be due.

Why are cells so small? Worksheet - Use this sheet for the questions, write your answers on your own sheet of paper. You will need to use rules and actually measure 10 different items and calculate the surface area, volume and surface area to volume ratio for each of those items. Here is a formula sheet that has the necessary surface area and volume equations. Bio Formula Sheet

This is due next time, get all your measurements done quickly and move onto the the math portion. You do have a quiz this weekend. Make sure you take it!

#1
​Go to this website
You need to turn in a lab sheet. On that sheet you need to have:
  1. Make a hypothesis.
  2. Write down your procedure. You will count bubbles based on light intensity (need to do 3 light intensities for five minutes each intensity).
  3. You need to have a data table.
  4. You need to have a graph of three different bubble counts.
  5. Then answer the following questions:
    1. What are the bubbles?
    2. Why are there different rates?
    3. How does light intensity effect the rate?
    4. What is the independent variable, dependent variable, and controlled variables?
    5. What was the main take away from this lab?
