Hi all!

Bio 20- Tomorrow we will be finishing our notes on phylum mollusca and then viewing a BBC Earth video on the creatures of the deep! We have a bit to finish still in this unit but your exam will be Tuesday December 10th if you would like to start preparing! The exam will cover all invertebrates so Phylum Porifera to Phylum Echinodermata.

Bio 30- Tomorrow we will look at the synapses that form between neurons and how neurons will chemically communicate with each other. On Thursday we will be finishing the last topic in the Nervous System which is nerve transmissions. Your unit exam that covers both the endocrine system and the nervous system is Wednesday December 4th.

Sci 90- Your electricity exam is tomorrow. As you are studying tonight be sire to focus on the outline I gave you last week as it will help you narrow down your studying. A reminder that your Interactive Notebook is due tomorrow as well.

November 14th, 2013

Bio20- Tomorrow we will continue our look at Phylum Platyhelminthes. There is no homework specifically, but I have the notes up in the link to the right as well as the video if you want to view it again.

Bio 30- Exam is tomorrow and INs are due tomorrow. Please don't worry too much about the practice test. Your outline that I gave you earlier in the week is specific to the test and will help guide your studying as I wrote that outline while looking directly at your test. A lot of the questions are about the structures specifically and what they do. I would also focus your studying on putting the major events in order, especially for things like the breathing cycle and the heart beat cycle. Remember that you will have a choice in which written response you want to do so you can prepare and answer the one you know best. One question will be about the circulatory system and the heart, the other is about the respiratory system and the lungs. Take a deep breath and don't panic.

Sci 90- Please make sure your assignment on batteries is completed for tomorrow, we will also go through the work from Wednesday tomorrow. I have posted your power point notes to this blog now. Just click on the link to the right and it will take you to my Google drive. You can read through the notes or print any if you miss a day of class.
