Study Guide for cells (parts, organization of organisms, body systems, diffusion and the cell membrane) page 1 is due Tuesday, page 2 is due Wednesday, page 3 is due Thursday. Test is Friday. Study Group Thursday 1/19 from 3:00-3:45; Test Friday, January 20study-guide-for-cells-test.doc
January 9-13 Structure and Function of cells in the human body
Monday- continue peer jigsaw notes on cells, tissues, organs and functions of the human body systems, Organ Systems Song, Cells "r" us practice sheet.
Tuesday- Diffusion demonstrations- teacher demonstrates three types of diffusion (gases in gas, liquid in liquid, and through a membrane) Students record their observations on the left side of their journals and try to explain how and why that happened, on the right side.

Thursday- Watch online Stem Cell Guy and fill in cell type chart Homework: complete the double sided Assessment Probes "Human Body Basics" and "Whale and Shrew"
Friday- Expert Groups are made; each table is an expert on one human body system and will need to complete a structure/function diagram of the organization of the system (cells, tissue, organs, system) Also, we will begin a cell comic challenge. Any of this may become homework if it is not completed in class.
