VIDEO: HOW THE EARTH WAS MADE

The following video segments were shown in class and form the basis of a video worksheet.  The focus of this material is how the geological record provides evidence of how the Earth has changed over time, particularly with respect to the atmosphere:





And here's the second segment...

BIOLOGY: THE NERVOUS SYSTEM!

And, for that matter, the endocrine system as well!

Yes, it's the second group of notes for Unit 6, "Systems for Control and Defense."   That, along with the previous Power Point on Body Systems, will be what is expected to be in student's Cornell Notes on Thursday, Feb. 21st, when they take their first Unit Test of the year.

ALERT!   Students are allowed to use these notes on Thursday's test.....but there is a catch:   the notes need to be in a Composition Book, and the Notes need to be completed, "Cornell style".  

That means they should have original questions and comments in the margins, proper headings on every page (front and back), summaries (in their own words) at the end of each section of notes, and other evidence (highlighting/underlining/drawing etc.) that they have actually reviewed and personalized the notes given in class.  They could reasonably be expected to look something like this.....

BIOLOGY: NEW SYLLABUS, "BODY SYSTEMS" NOTES

Biology students: we spent the first two weeks of the spring semester reviewing DNA's structure and protein synthesis, which is found in Chapter 12 of our text. 

We have now begun a new unit on Body Systems for Control and Defense.   Much of this material will be found in Chapters 35, 39 and 40.   Here is the syllabus for this unit, previously distributed in class:

Here are the notes on Human Body Systems that have already been given in class.   Use these to make sure your Cornell Notes are complete!

POWER POINT: THE FLUID MOSAIC MODEL OF THE CELL MEMBRANE

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE: EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES, FAULTS AND FOLDING

EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES

Here it is, in all its earth-shaking glory:
