Next week stuff: content posters in lieu of window panes, book info.

Here is your info on content posters, remember, we'll cover a few of them in class.


Content poster: There are only 12 total. YOU MUST DRAW A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF THE SUBJECT THEN DESCRIBE IT, LABEL IT (IF IT APPLIES), MAKE AN ANALOGY TO EXPLAIN IT AND/OR GIVE EXAMPLES OF IT. It’s kind of like doing window panes, but you don’t have to use it in a sentence and it should be mostly a visual representation. Basically; draw a picture and then tell me everything you can about the picture!
We’ll do 5 today :
1. Most common non-organic compounds in living things!
(oxygen, carbon- dioxide and water) which is the most plentiful? WATER
2. control groups
3. pH scale
4. Interdependent relationships in nature
5. Biomass pyramid
6. things that affect how well an enzyme works
7. diffusion of particles( it can be active, passive or facilitated)
8. Use of stored chemical energy (food, sugar) by the cells (it has to be ATP).Helpful hint: oil has to go to a refinery before it can be used as gas for your car.
9. Cell specialization : every cell has the same general parts, however, some have more of certain organelles than others do. In a plant, the leaves will have more chlorophyll than the stems. In humans, the muscles and sperm have more mitochondria than any other cells.
10. Tests for organic compounds: brown paper for lipids, Iodine for starch
11. Acid Rain- what toxins contribute to it, what is the effect on the environment?
12. microscopes – 3 types- detail which is the most powerful and which was the first.

your book topics will be from some current stuff and some of the trouble spots from the benchmark

Just the SAS that's due on Thursday should be handed in on Thursday

Test on heredity will probably be Wednesday, even though we'll be finished with the subject matter on Monday. Tuesday we start DNA
