Extra Credit Review Packet

Just in case you accidentally wipe your mouth with their cell review packet instead of a napkin during Thanksgiving dinner (No I have never done anything like that before...... maybe that one time...). Here is the complete packet.  Remember your test on December 2 when we get back!







The Cell Museum

Students displayed their work yesterday in our second annual cell museum.  Here are some pictures of their finished work.  It was overall very impressive, getting rave reviews from teachers, administrators and other students from around campus who came to take a look.  Not included are our  multimedia projects which showed some beautiful student faces that should remain anonymous.  Enjoy a happy Thanksgiving break.  Be ready for our cell unit exam when we come back December 2!

Hard at Work

Sorry for the delay in posts but we have been hard at work cramming our minds with all there is to know about cells! Prokaryotic cells, Eukaryotic cells, organelles, mitochondria, chloroplasts, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, mitosis, binary fission... you get the idea.  Right now the students and I are putting together a museum to house all of the amazing artifacts they have created about these topics.  Here are some pictures of their work under construction.  The finished museum pics will follow shortly.
