10/31

This week, discussed several important cell organelles that function to keep a cell running properly. In order to learn these organelles better, students spent most of the week working on a "Cell Analogy Project." In this project, students had to find pictures that represented analogies of the important cell organelles. In doing this, the students were able to make connections about how organelles function like everyday objects. The students presented their analogies to the class on Friday, and I was impressed with the result! Great work!

We have finished our microscope and cell chapter, so we will be taking our second chapter test on Wednesday of next week. Students have been given a study guide in order to help them prepare. Remember, students should not have to go back to the textbook in order to study! As long as they review the notes listed on the study guide, they will be in good shape for the test. Next week we will begin our discussion of diffusion and osmosis.
