Monday – TSW explain the relationship between reactants and products in a chemical formula.

Tuesday – TSW classify substances as elements or compounds from their symbols or formulas (7.12.spi.3).

Homework: Memorize the formula for photosynthesis by Friday (textbook page 90). You must be able to recognize both the words and symbols for each reactant and product. Remember, a formula is very specific so don’t forget that there must be a certain number of molecules of each reactant and product.

Wednesday – TSW apply his or her knowledge of elements and compounds to the formula for photosynthesis. TSW identify the reactants and products of photosynthesis and respiration (7.3.spi.6).

Homework – Review the formula for cellular respiration on textbook page 91. Recognize that it is the reverse of photosynthesis. Note: If you know the formula for photosynthesis you will always be able to determine the formula for cellular respiration.

Thursday – TSW associate the processes of photosynthesis and respiration with appropriate cellular organelles (7.3.spi.7).

Homework: Memorize the formula for photosynthesis by Friday.

Friday – TTW review Chapter 4 Sections 1 and 2. There will be a quiz over this material next Tuesday.

Monday – TSW write a description of the experiment that TT set up last Friday and describe what it looks like today. TSW predict what occurred over the weekend. (7.1.spi.6) TSW complete Chapter 4 Section 1 Review in the textbook (page 89) and Chapter 4 Section 2 in the workbook (pages 30-33).

Homework: Complete any unfinished classwork from today.

Tuesday – TTW lead students in a review of the diffusion Venn Diagram and classwork from yesterday. TSW use new terminology to explain the diffusion picture on page 86 of the textbook (figure 2). (7.1.spi.6)

Homework: Study your chapter 4 section 1 notes in your blue folder. Come to class prepared to explain diffusion, osmosis, passive transport and active transport.

Wednesday – TTW review the human organ systems and TSW (7.1.spi.5) determine the relationships among cells, tissues, organs, and systems given a diagram and identify the function of organ systems. TSW (7.1.spi.6) predict the movement of substances through osmosis or diffusion across the cell membrane, given solutions of different concentrations.

Homework: Study your class notes.

Thursday – TSW take notes on chapter 4 section 2. (Photosynthesis and Cellular respiration.) TTW introduce elements, compounds and the periodic table.

Homework: Complete the chapter 4 section 2 review in your textbook (page 93).

Friday – TTW review chapter 4 section 2 and the student will complete reinforcement classwork over photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Homework: Memorize the formulas for photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Remember, if you know one you can figure out the other.

Monday – TSW explain the functions of each part of a eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell. TSW describe and illustrate the differences between plant and animal cells.

Homework: TSW read textbook pages 278 and 279.

Tuesday – TSW identify each of the 11 human organ systems given a diagram and explain the functions of each. TSW construct a graphic organizer detailing the 11 human organ systems.

Homework: TSW study the 11 human organ systems.

Wednesday – TSW illustrate passive and active transport (page 88 figures 4 & 5).

Thursday – TTW conduct a review of major concepts covered during the 1st nine weeks. TTW extend the concepts of the cell theory and small cell size.

Friday – TSW complete an organ systems chart that requires them to organize from the cellular to the system level. TTW will demonstrate diffusion and TSW take notes on diffusion.

Monday – TTW perform a folder and workbook check and introduce students to Chapter 4. TSW scan chapter 4 and begin an outline of the chapter.

Homework: Study your crossword puzzle and corrected graphic organizer in preparation for Thursday’s Chapter 3 Test.

Tuesday – TTW review Chapter 3 Section 3 in preparation for Thursday’s test.

Homework: Review Chapter 3 Section 3 in your red workbook.

Wednesday – TTW conduct a baseball review in preparation for tomorrow’s test.

Homework: Study all of your notes for tomorrow’s test.

Thursday – TSW demonstrate mastery of chapter 3 concepts through a T-CAP based assessment. TSW complete his or her chapter 4 outline.

Friday – Fall Break Begins

Monday – TSW take notes on cell similarities and complete his or her organelle graphic organizer.

Homework: Please review your chapter 3 notes.

Tuesday – TSW will write a short story, poem or song about what would happen if all of a cell’s organelles rebelled against the nucleus. The writing must demonstrate TS understanding of each organelle’s role. This assignment is due Thursday.

Homework: Work on your creative writing assignment.

Wednesday – TSW summarize the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells using a Venn Diagram. TSW use this information to determine in which type of cell each organelle resides for the organelle graphic organizer.

Thursday – TSW will share (oral presentation) his or short story regarding what happens when organelles rebel against the nucleus.

Homework: Chapter 3 Crossword Puzzle.

Friday - TSW complete a Chapter 3 Quiz and work in cooperative groups to develop review questions for next week’s baseball review.

Chapter 3 Test Next Thursday
