WA: Life Science

Next week, the Life, Physical, and Earth Science classes will have a special program on Watershed Dynamics, Tuesday, from 9:00-12:30.

Life Science:  This week, Life Science students completed a diffusion lab, several graphing exercises, some data analysis, CER, and a POGIL Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes activity. The goal is to finish Cell Processes and start DNA and Genetics.  CER is Claim-evidence-reasoning activities to build critical thinking skills.  POGIL is a guided inquiry exercise which develops analytical skills.  The class is becoming more adept with the graphing calculators.  The kids did a Data Analysis and Graphing Predator-Prey Interactions.  Just a gentle reminder that students need to devise an experiment for their Science Fair projects.  The class is making excellent progress!
