Week of 11/15

On Monday we reviewed the processes of mitosis and apoptosis and did a mini-lab to observe the four stages of mitosis in onion cells. Students that had class on Tuesday used computer activities to review all of the cell processes that we have discussed in class. Students watched videos and animations of active and passive transport, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, mitosis, and the cell cycle. On Wednesday, students learned more about cancer and how this disease is related to problems with cell processes. We discussed the types of tumors, treatment methods, and possible causes of cancer. We reviewed for our cell processes test on Thursday and Friday, and we will take our Chapter 4 test on Monday.
