Bookmark
this site for information about class discussions, assignments, extra
credit projects and science class events. During the 1st term, you
will be learning the steps involved in the scientific method and creating
your first lab and lab report. You will be introduced to the cell and
you will learn about each of its organelles. Each of you will create
a unique 3D model of a cell such at the two displayed below.
Learning
about the cell will lay the groundwork for us to study genetics and
human genetic
disorders. Click Here to see a chart
outline of our entire year. Check out Anianaeth's
Science Blog to add more comments to our class discussion. Please
submit blog posts to mschaloner@groups.mac.com.
We will keep posts anonymous, but you can see responses to your ideas
on the blog.

the plant and
animal cells.
Type the code into the green box on the left of the phschool.com
website.

the Exploratorium to
see a gallery of cell structure and function slides.
- Check
out Biology for
Kids where you'll cell illustrations and much more!

well as other biology diagrams.
- See
a list of links and illustrations that show cell parts
and cell projects: Kathi
Mitchell's Science for Kids.
 Remember "A
Wrinkle in Time?" Challenge this term - what cell
parts were important to the story? Write a few paragraphs
about the cell parts used in the story and how they compare
to the real cell. Submit your answer by October 24th, 2005. |
