Nathan's Scribe Post for Tuesday, May 24
The first thing we did today was discuss the homework assignments we had and when they were due. Our homework is to:
For the Cell Project, what we have to do is use everyday objects to create a representative model of an animal cell or a plant cell. For each organelle, we need to choose an object that symbolizes or represents the organelle’s function. Next, we create a table which lists each organelle you have represented in your model. For each organelle, state its main function. For more information about the project or the rubric, it's in grade 7 science, on moodle. It's a word document at the bottom of the page called "Cell Project".
What the Table is Supposed to Look Like
After the homework discussion, we moved into cell diagrams. First, we had to take out our highlighted "Building Blocks of Life- The Parts of a Cell" sheet (also on moodle). After going through each part of a cell, we color-coded each part with a different color for each. Then we each received two sheets with two different pictures on them. One had a picture of a plant cell, and the other with an animal cell. Our job was to label it and use the color-code we created to color that part in the picture.
The things we had to label on our diagrams:

Nathan - nice work on your post here. You have covered everything we covered during class and I love that you found the exact pictures we used for the plant and animal cells. I do think you could have gone into more depth about the specific parts of the cells and what they do for the living organism, as this was the first time we discussed them in class. Your explanation of the Cell Project is thorough and clear. I loved your links to the two games - fun! But you did forget to link to Moodle. The writing aspect of this post is very strong. From the colors used to the sentence structure and the spacing - this was well done! Overall, good job on your last Scribe Post of the year! ~Ms. D.
ReplyDeleteHello Nathan,
ReplyDeletethis post is very good. The thing I like most are your pictures and your game is amazing, but you had a couple of spelling mistakes. You could explain more about the individual organelles and what functions they perform inside the cells. Also, you forgot to color and underline your hyperlink to Moodle. Your labels are inaccurate and misleading, you should have added for example: "organelles", "animal and plant cells" etc.
You should be more careful with your layout(titles and subtitles), so your post could be more organized. Other than that, this post is better then your previous one and I hope you will be the best blogger in your next school. Dave :-D
P.S:
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention this in my previous blog comment, but you didn't talk about the real-life example and you didn't have any videos about cells. By the way there are some pretty amazing ones out there. Dave :-D
Hey Nate-
ReplyDeleteYour blog post looks great! Its colorful, but not too colorful, its organized and clear, and your pictures, captions, videos(games) and labels are all good and correct. You should have linked to Moodle though and I think that you could have at least written a short, general description of all the organelles in the animal and plant cells because if someone who was absent that day was to have to known what all of the organelles' functions were they would have a hard time figuring that out, and as I recall from last year, you should have gotten a packet with all the explanations of all the organelles in both animal and plant cells! Except for those few things, your blog post was great overall! :D
Hey Nathan
ReplyDeleteI liked your post a lot, what I liked the most was the pictures. They were really specific. This post is awesome keep up the good work sir. The labels were really nice because I could see what each part was but you could have given the definitions of each organelle. You covered everything that we did in class. You had a couple spelling mistakes. Well it doesn't matter your blog is still awesome anyway. Sir =D
Hi Nathan,
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a great post. You included a nice font, and you had a good choice of pictures. I also liked that you included colors that were not to bright. You only listed the organelles of each cell, and did not explain what their functions are. This is something important that people from other classes would not know, except for us, because we already studies this last year. The rest of the post looks great, although you did not include a link to moodle, which is something, every scribe post should have.
All in all nice post!
Hi Nate,
ReplyDeleteThis was a good post. You had pictures and captions and the information about the cell project we have to do. I think, though, that you should have put more links, at least one to moodle, though the labeling cell game was pretty cool, and I think that your post was a little bit short. Though your information was good and you gave all the information about the cells and the parts of cells, and the pictures explained a lot but like I said before it was a little short and lacking detail of what we did in class. You had a nice font and color of the writing. Over all good post, but I think you could have done better.
Hello Nathan,
ReplyDeleteI like your post and I think the picture you used is very good. The game is also awesome, however you had a few spelling mistake, but nothing major. Another thing you could have done is give a very brief explanation of each organelle and its function. Also your labels are a bit wrong. Finally, I can't help but notice that your post is pretty short, maybe you should have wrote a bit more or added extra information.

Nathan,
ReplyDeleteYour blog post was very well done overall, you summarized the class well and included all necessary elements of the project, as well as labelled pictures and helpful links. I liked especially how you put a picture of an example table for your project as well as diagrams of the organelles of a plant and animal cell. Overall, your writing was well done and this post was well put together.
Hi Nate,
ReplyDeleteThis in an awesome post! You had great diagrams, cool links, and interesting information. There are very few things that you could have improved; you can try to make your captions look a little more "outstanding" - put them in bold, italics, or something like that. The caption for the cell diagrams are really weird - they are misaligned and they appear as separate pictures. Your link to Moodle is also extremely hard to find because it is the same color as the rest of the text. I think that your science looks great and you are definitely getting better and better at blogging! :)
hey Nate!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all you Blog is very organized and I really like your pictures, especially the one with the animal and plant-cell, because they are very detailed and easy to read. But I think that e.g. you could have explained what those certain parts of the cell actually are, because you only wrote: Mitchondria, but you could say that it is the powerhouse of a cell. But you do have new links, but not the one to Moodle. But again I like the organizing and the different colours that you have used, because they makwe the reading more entertaining and fun. So overall pretty good Blog.

Hey Nate,
ReplyDeleteI really liked your post. You made it very detailed and you used good science too. Your pictures were labeled well and explained whats in a cell. I think there are also some things that you still can improve. I think that your captions could still be better. Your link to Moodle could be easier to find. Scientifically I think you covered everything well. Good job!

Hi Nathan!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post. You had very good pictures that helped explain the topic. I liked how you listed everything you labeled. Your links were good to9 and also helped. I also liked the colors which you had and they weren't overwhelming. You could have put words in bold so that they stand out more and make it even more understandable. This is a really good post.
