November 9th

Today we took a quiz on Solutions in Biology. If you were absent today, please make sure that you plan on making up the quiz as soon as possible. Tomorrow we will be completing a study guide for our Unit 2 Test on Cells. Please make sure to be in class on time tomorrow!

Today's journal was:
Complete the following sentence:
Osmosis is the movement of _____________ molecules across a membrane from areas of ___________ concentration to _______________ concentration.

If you have been absent please take the time to look at the websites I have posted over the past few days. Below you will find more links to helpful websites:

Hi Kiddos,

This week we spent a great deal of time learning about solutions in biology; specifically isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions. Yesterday and today we focused on cell transport, diffusion, active transport, and passive transport. Please review the links below so that you stay familiar with the things we are learning over the weekend. You will be receiving a quiz next week on these items on Tuesday. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I will see you Monday! DON'T BE ABSENT!!!

Basic Cell Transport Definitions
Information on Active and Passive Transport (Look at the links on the left hand side of the website)

Today's Journal:
Explain what an aqueous solution is, and provide an example.

Solutions in Biology

Hello and welcome back from your 5 day weekend. I hope you had fun and I hope you are ready to learn all about Solutions, Diffusion, and Osmosis this week.

Today we focused on hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions. The PowerPoint that we worked on today can be found below:

Solutions in Biology

The journal today was:
Explain the difference between cilia and flagella, and describe their function.

Tomorrow we will get started on diffusion and osmosis. See you then!
