Well, hello there! Here we are at the dawn of yet another exciting week. It starts with a quiz, ends with a test, and contains a lab, a class work, two homework assignments, and some note taking. It'll be epic.
Here's what's on your science-y horizon:
Monday 10/21: Quiz 7, followed by a lesson on meiosis and sexual reproduction. Homework: pg 126 #1-3 and 7
Tuesday 10/22: We will have a class work assignment to help you navigate some of our new vocabulary, and help you differentiate between mitosis and meiosis. I think. I'm still working on this and will let you know. Due: page 126. HW: none.
Wednesday 10/23: We will be discussing methods of asexual reproduction, along with its advantages and disadvantages. Homework: Page 137 #1-5. Due: none
Thursday 10/24: Lab day! Hooray! Due: page 137. Homework: LAB REPORT! (due Monday 10/28), oh and STUDY FOR YOUR TEST.

Tuesday 10/15: Quiz #6, followed by a class work activity on mitosis. Nothing is due and you have no homework.
Wednesday 10/16: Lab Day! We are doing another lab involving microscopes. LAB REPORT IS DUE FRIDAY. There will be 10th period for anyone wishing to have help on their lab reports (or to finish back work, or to retake tests and quizzes...).
Thursday 10/17: Levels of Organization! We will be taking notes and discussing how cells are organized to make whole organisms. Homework: Page 105, #1,2,3, and 5
Friday 10/18: Vocabulary Day! We have had a lot of new vocabulary since our last test. We will be doing a class work assignment to reinforce it all before we move on. Due: Lab report, and page 105. Homework: TBD Have fun!
