Greeting Science Fans! Welcome to our Wiki. You can access homework info here: Homework 

 

Hi Folks! Welcome back from break. We'll be looking into more of the human body by way of frog dissection this week. We'll also present our research to the class with our group projects as our diagrams.

For homework please watch the frog dissection video on Youtube:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4ncCrbZS6s

Monday, December 5, 2011 - Tuesday December 6, 2011

Finishing up on our live specimens in the microscope! Enjoy watching these animals move around and identify this with the dichotomous key!

 

Thursday, December 1, 2011

We'll look at more live specimens today and work on identifying them through the dichtamous key. We need to think back to our Kingdoms and bacteria. How did bacteria move?

Prokaryote

 

 

 

Amoeba 

 

 

 

Paramecium

Today we'll get to look at some LIVE specimens. This is where our talents for focusing come in handy as we search for microscopic creatures swimming across the lens!

 

Essential Question: What do you think an animal cell looks like?

We are looking at live specimens under the microscope this week. Now you'll begin to understand why it was so important to work through all the little details in the microscope driver's test and the letter e lab. Many of you had difficulty yesterday seeing the yogurt bacteria and are instead identifying air bubbles.

 

These three pictures are of yogurt bacteria as seen in your microscopes!

 

 

These are what air bubbles look like. Many of you showed me these images and thought you were seeing bacteria! These are air bubbles!

 

 

Today we will be looking at live specimens and you may see things moving in your microscope. Make sure to focus.

 

 

We're focusing on Microscopes and Cells this quarter in 7th Grade Science. Students are learning how to navigate their microscopes. Daily lessons and assessments focus on microscope use.

 

Homework continues weekly with current events. This week a text book guide for the chapter on cells was due Thursday. 

 

 

First Unit: Classification & Taxonomy 

Agenda for Week of September  26th:

Friday, October 14, 2011 ~Harbor House Field trip

 

 

Dichotomous Keys! We've been sorting and writing keys. As with everything, practice helps understanding.

here is an attachment to compliment class work on classification:

http://www.beaconlearningcenter.com/documents/1032_01.pdf

 

 

Aristotle

1.  Greek (300's BCE)

2.  grouped by how things moved - swim, fly, walk

3.  problem --> some things could belong to more than 1 group.  What about plants?

 

John Ray

 1.  English - 1600's

2.  grouped by internal anatomy and behavior

3.  first person to use "species"

4.  problem --> not necessarily internal differences, external feather colors (orange tip vs. yellow bars)

 

Carolus Linnaeus

 1.  Swedish - 1700's

2.  grouped by structure

3.  put things into smaller and smaller groups.

4.  first to use "binomial nomenclature"
