We're moving forward with cellular biology opening up the conversations and learning around eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Let's compare similarities and differences and see what organelles are found in them. Each organelle has a unique shape, design, and function and we'll need to know 8 of them moving forward.
Keep in mind students, the work we do now builds towards the cancer research we'll be doing later. A solid foundation in cells is needed to move forward. FLC LAB - Friday Sept 17 Hi there everyone,
We've been discussing "LIVING, NONLIVING, AND DEAD" and I hope you've been able to differentiate between them. We've also been talking about the "6 Characteristics of Living Things". It's time to get busy recording what we've learned and discussed. On your G-class you'll find 2 Google Slide shows containing the information we've been discussing. Use your time in class to gather notes and thoughts about this information. Next steps are heading us into the world of cells and the structures found in them. Chur and check the G-class. Welcome incoming Fresh-people to AHS!!! It's been quite the wild ride for the past 3 semesters of school and I know many of you are excited to be back full time and in person.
We're kicking off the year in Biology diving into living, nonliving, and dead things, then heading into the characteristics of all living things. Once we figure this out, it's time for deep immersion into a variety of topics. Here's where we're headed for the semester. We're starting off examining cell structure and function - Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic. We'll include bacteria and virus in here because hey ... why not??? After this we're off to the wonderful world of structure and systems. The guiding question(s) "what is it, what is it's function, what larger system is it a part of?". After this is immersing ourselves into the world of cancer. The end goal of this amazing deep dive is for all of us to study a type of cancer and exhibition our knowledge in November. As of 2017, 1 in 20 Americans have had a type of cancer and we've all been touched by it somehow either through family, friends, or association. This project and exhibition is designed to have students take the roll of an Oncologists and to turn AHS into the "Durango Oncology Center". Students will have conversations with incoming "patients" having meaningful conversations and describing in detail imaging, diagnosis, and treatment(s) of their type of cancer. So buckle up students and let's get after it :) |
