remind

in bio, draw a macro and micro picture of interphase relating what occurs during S2 (what the cell looks like then) and how the sister chromatids are forming joined at the same centromere after DNA replication....pictures pictures...
then, revisit notes from the start with videos too.

chem- got up to graham's law in 7th; only got to the end of the gas laws today, no dalton or graham.
do mole and avogadro with 7th tomorrow.

10/31- did crush the can lab during 7/8 - remind them that it is due Friday
11/1- go over can lab with 8/9 and collect that lab tomorrow...
give all till Monday to hand in all labs in folders...
won't do test corrections until after the next test!

EMPHASIZE STP MUST BE LABELED in questions as P1 or T1 (or 2, depending)!
do mole and Avogadro's pictures with 7th
do Graham's Law AND DEMO with 8/9 and then do mole calcs!

next year, don't bother with surface area to volume ratio UNTIL YOU DO MITOSIS!!!
you wasted two days!
INSTEAD , do every possible organelle picture to life function and millions of hyper and hypotonic scenarioS!!!
and do thousands of MC questions!@!!!

Chem and Bio: nobody following test advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in chem: MAKE SURE THAT YOU EMPHASIZE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RATE and time (INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL!!!)
Did not emphasize ENOUGH (only 50 x) that ENTROPY =S is NOT NOT NOT NOT ENTHALPHY = H...and that they have NOTHING to do with each other (directly)

Tuesday, Oct. 30 = HAND BACK ALL CORRECTIONS AND SHOW HOW TO DO WHY AND HOW (again!)
Put correction deadlines on blog! Do pre-notes for CHEM UNIT!
Cans for chem tomorrow and Wed.

for friday

redo all kinetics demos...do not do the powdered Zn in acid because the Zn is already oxidized..do other surface area demo....pencil shavings or something....

for the kinetics lab, the recipe did NOT need an acid catalyst.

for 7th period, give out kinetics and PE handouts!

Do the ENTROPY worksheet!

Tuesday, October 16, 2007

teach factors that affect chem reaction rate in terms of collision theory FIRST

Then finish enthalpy diagrams with catalyst curve.

reminderz

Bio - EMPHASIZE that, as a cell grows, surface area increases at a slower rate than volume which is why the surface area to volume ration decreases.

CHANGE SEATS; CLOSE ALL QUESTIONS but open up every five minutes.

Chem- hand out new unit packets first thing!
enter grade passwords and grade ALL labs...

do DEMOS OF EXAMPLES OF A CHEMICAL CHANGE!!!
gas formation, precipitation, obvious new product (properties unlike those of either reactant)

find JL's grades!!!

corrections hw for this weekend, in all classes!

10/15- show precipitate formation reaction with silver nitrate or calcium salts...

ONLY got to PE of the arrows with 9th period! MOVE FASTER! stop repeating stuff!!! until review!!!

Columbus Day

Scan review packet for 7th period chem.
Scan sample correctly done lab for Bio!
Set up catalase lab and indicator lab for BIO!

Tuesday, October 02, 2007

for oct 3

for concentration of enzyme and substrate, do lego activity with class...e.g. they are the enzyme...then they are the substrate....

finish presentations and give prizes....do enzyme lab? or wait till after test?


for chem: officially assign hw test corrections...no abbreviations, all perfect!
scan test...show test taking underlining skills.


don't forget that the goals are due!
SHOW the iodine sublimation to 7/8
and show the phase diagram video to 9!
buy liver for bio! get toothpicks and clips! get 30% H2O2 also.
