Sorry I haven't been posting to the blog. Mr. McNaughton quit student teaching on Wednesday due to some family issues. So I have been trying to do the catch up game for the past few days! So here is a quick overview of what took place in class this week.
Science: Wed/Thursday the kids did an experiment with yeast to see whether cells respire or not. We used an indicator called bromthymol blue which shows whether carbon dioxide is present or not. We then discussed how cells respire and why they respire and also discussed how cells allow materials to pass through the cell membrane through the process of osmosis and diffusion. We took some notes on Friday and watched some animations about osmosis and diffusion. They took a notebook quiz on Friday over activities 39/40. They are posted on edline.
2nd hour math: We reviewed all of chapter 7 and took a test on Chapter 7 on Friday. Grades for the test are posted on Edline.
5th hour math: we started some Geometry on Wednesday with triangles and Monday we will work on Quadrilaterals. Due to a large number of students not doing so well on their Ch. 6 test we did some review during class on Thursday and they retook their test Friday. Grades will be posted shortly. The kids who did well had the opportunity to go to the computer lab and find me some math brain teasers to use for our warm up problems when they come into class. Then Friday they were given a website to go to, to play some math games.
Monday will be a better start and I will continue posting information on the blog! I hope this is helpful:)
