Hello Everyone!!!
On Tuesday, everything started out with every student saying what was most creative in their Cell Project, and why they used it. These were later handed to Ms.D for grading. Also, there were many things that were due on Tuesday. First, we had to do the last blog comment of the year. Then, there was also a Reflection Post that was due. Here are the directions to the past homework. Later, we discussed the many things that will be happening this week. First, there will be a Cell and Microscope Quiz Friday for all of the seventh graders. Remember, this is the last big grade of the quarter (along with blogging), so study hard!! The picture above shows a plant cell with all its parts, so it might help to study! Here is a fun link that helps you review the different parts of a cell! Basically, what we have to study is the following:
- The different Organelles of a Plant and Animal cell
- Microscope Parts- Here are my notes for the Microscope parts:
- Magnifies small objects so humans can see them better.
- Types of microscopes- simple, compound, electron and light.
- Simple- only 1 lens to magnify objects,
- Compound- 2 or more lenses used to magnify,
- Light- magnifies as far back as cells! Refracting light.
- Electron- magnify from electron level, amazing resolution.
- SER (scanning electron microscope)- outer of organisms,
- TEM (tunneling electron microscope)- inside of organisms.
This is a picture of an Animal Cell!
Here is a Video that might help you revise for cells!!
We also have to study the organization of everything. Here it is!
Strings(?)- quarks (6)- protons, electrons, and neutrons- atoms- molecules- elements- compunds or mixtures- DNA (Deoxy-Ribonucleic Acid)- cells- tissues- organs- systems- organisms- species- Genus- Family- Order- class- Phyllum- kindoms(6)- Biomes- Planets- galaxies- cluster of galaxies- Universe- ?
Basically, it is how everything in the universe is classified, from smallest to greatest. The question mark on the string is because scientists are not sure if there actually are the strings. Also, the one after the Universe is because no one knows if there is something bigger yet.
Later in the class, we started talking about our Cell Lab. Ms.D gave us the worksheets and we continued started working. The partners were the same we had had for our practice Lab, or numbers 7 on our appointment clock.
Here are some pictures of the people that worked together!
Courtney (and me)!
Tamara and Ghazaleh!
Karin and Maria Chiara!
Eric and Dave!
Valentina and Emilija!
Finally, our homework is to STUDY!!!!!!! Study as hard as you can, because, as I already said, the test will be the last final grade of the quarter!!
Here is a link to Moodle!
I hope you all enjoyed my post!!!
Oh, and I almost forgot.....The next scribe is........amazing, humongous final drum roll of the year..... JAKUB!!!
sorry, there is supposed to be a link in the white space, and I have no idea of why it didn't turn out... :(
ReplyDeleteHi Davide!
ReplyDeleteYou have improved A LOT from last quarter! You have an awesome video, cool pictures, and lots of creativity! Even though your formatting could have been better (pictures aren't aligned with captions, etc) you did a good job. Your caption for the first diagram is very hard to spot and I think that you should have made all the captions stand out by making them bold or italicized. Your science looks good, but I think you could have explained more about the cell lab and you could have added a link to the directions. Other than that, your labels look good, you used exciting voice, and I love that you embedded the video! Keep it up! :)
Nice final post Davide - You have included some great pictures and I think your links are the strongest aspect of your post. The links to the games will help people study for the quiz we are having this week. I also like that you included pictures of people and tried to caption them. But your spacing is awkward throughout the post, which makes it a bit hard to read. Plus, I think you could have gone into more depth about what you did for the cell project and what the focus/purpose of the cell lab was. I think this would have incorporated a bit more scientific vocabulary and more scientific information than what you have here. Your spelling, title, grammar and sentence structure all look super. Good job overall! ~Ms. D.
