Remember to bring in something to magnify under the microscope Tuesday. You have your first opportunity to earn your microscope license on Tuesday!! Be sure to study! The long weekend is a good opportunity to complete your disease report. Remember it is a report do not just answer the guiding questions I gave you. Happy Thanksgiving.
Study for the microscope test this week for homework. We will be taking the test next Tuesday to get your licence. I will assign you a disease report also for homework this week. It is due in two weeks. You have guiding questions that should be answered in addition to any other interesting information you find about the disease. You may choose any disease – infectious, genetic or environmental. It will be due in two weeks. Please bring in an object next Wednesday to view under the microscope.

I will be here after school on Monday. The new quarter begins this week. I will be discussing a clean slate to the students. Please encourage them to complete missing work in a timely manner. It would definitely help if ParentLink is checked weekly. We are finishing our notes on the body systems and reviewing for the interim test which will be on Tuesday and Wednesday. Next week will be the body systems test. Below is what the students will be tested on for the Unit B test.
Wondering? What do you need to know for the body test? Here you go! Happy studying!
The parts and functions of each system. (Big question on how the digestive system works).
Cells make tissues. Tissues make organs. Organs make organ systems. Organ systems make organisms.
We are multicellular not unicellular.
We have specialized cells.
I will name a health problem and you will need to tell me what system it affects. For example a heart attack would affect the circulatory system.
We are studying the body systems for the next couple of weeks. What are the major organs? What is the function of the system? Does the system work with any other systems? ect. Discuss this around the dinner table if you have time!
I will be here on Tuesday after school to help students with work they need to complete or any concepts they do not understand.
We will take the district interim test on Wednesday and Thursday so homework is to get rest and eat a good breakfast. (The test has been moved to Tuesday and Wednesday of next week due to concerts).
I will be here after school to help students on Monday and Wednesday. The students have been informed that Friday is the last day to turn in any missing work. Most students have been given a list of the missing work. If they don’t have it — they may ask again and I will get them a list.
Tuesday is the Unit One test. Wednesday we are on to the body unit!
