Tuesday - In Da Club!

Block 2 - Welcome Mr. Vanerp as your teacher for the next 8 weeks!  

#waxingouch! #tourderock #mrvanerpisawesome  (and less hairy)

Hey everyone! Thanks for the awesome first day.
We did an organelle activity via Kahoot.
You all put up with my ridiculous pun activity.
Started to look at transport across the cell membrane!
Diagrammed out a pre-lab. Please be sure to show this to  me before you start the actual lab tomorrow

Block 3 - Organelle Check-in - class activity.

Cell Membrane - structure & function and Paasive (heehee) transport ... yes it is actually Passive Transport.

Potato pre-lab - diagram out your lab procedure (like we did in the acid/base/buffer lab)

Fri - organelles (Cont'd)

Organelle stations continued.

eQuiz: cell organelles (closes Tuesday at 10:30) ... too many of you have been forgetting about this.  You need to come up with a strategy to not forget (ie. set up a reminder on your phone).  This is a longer one so you have 30 minutes to complete it.

Thurs - organelle stations

Use the notes template given to learn/re-learn details about cell organelles (always structure & function).  Here are the stations (link here) that will guide you over the next 2 days.

Can you identify the organelles in this video?

Wed - Unit 2 test

Unit 2 test today

When finished:
1) What does the cell theory state?
2) What are cells?
3) What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
4) What is an organelle?
5) Workbook p 21 - label the organelles of an animal cell.

Tues - Unit 2 review
