VOCABULARY

BLITZ!

We will be having an in-class Science Blitz on November 17^th and 18^th! In this station you will begin to prepare for the Science Blitz by creating Flash Cards for the terms/concepts that will be quizzed during the Blitz.

Write the name of the word or concept in one side of the card, and use the book to find the definition/function/answer and write it on the opposite side of the card:

1.       Nucleus

2.      Cell Wall

3.      Cytoplasm

4.      Chloroplasts

5.      Mitochondria

6.      Vacuoles

7.      Cell Membrane

8.     Virus

9.      Bacteria

10.  Fungi

11.   Parasite

12.  Digestive System

13.  Respiratory System

14.  Circulatory System

15.   Reproductive System

16.  Excretory System

17.   Immune System

18.  Nervous System

19.  Musculoskeletal System

20. Homeostasis

21.  The three statements of the Cell Theory

22. Hierarchical Organization of organisms

Rules for Blitz, Round One:

- With a timer running, all students will stand up and then the teacher calls on each student with a definition/word and the student responds. If the student gets it right, they get an A and sit down. If the student gets it wrong, they stay standing. The teacher will come back to the student after questioning all students, if the student gets it right this time, they get a C and sit down, if they get it wrong a second time, they get an F, and sit down.

- The grade for the week is averaged from every day that week and put in as a grade for Bio Blitz for that week.

Data Chat Journal Set Up

In order to complete your data chat, you must set your journal up like mine. I opened my journal to the last 5 pages and glued one copy of each item in my journal. The items that are glued in my journal are the same items that can be found on your desk. The items are listed below.

#1. White copy of my baseline data (If you do not have it yet, Miss. Gainous is still passing them out.)
#2. Blue copy of a bar graph so that I may track my data after each exam in we have in class.
#3. Yellow copy of the "My Science Data Chat" sheet which I will use to brainstorm  and organize ideas/strategies to help me reach my goals in science class.
#4. A colored book mark I can use to remind me where to find my data.

Steps to Set Up My Data Sheets

 #1. Open to the last 5 pages and on the first page glue my book mark down and label the page "My Data". Please do not spend too much time labeling your data cover.

 #2. Turn the page and glue down your baseline information on the right hand side of your journal.

#3.  Turn the page and take your "My Science Data Chat" form and glue it onto the left page. Fold it and quickly glue it in. There should be no cutting.

 

 #4. Paste your Bar Graph on the right side. Right across from your Data Chat form. Once you have completed these steps your journal is ready to go! :)

 

Feeling like you need some EXTRA CREDIT Opportunities?!

 

1. You must complete the incomplete work in your journal and have the grades changed in the grade book before you are allowed to complete extra credit.

2. For extra credit you may choose any topic on this website or in your journal and write a FULL page summary on what you know about the topic. You may use the internet, PENDA, or a friend for help.

3. Staple your extra credit into your journal on top of the topic that you chose. For example, write a full page summary on what causes moon phases and stable it on top of your moon phases diagram.
