We are also beginning Chapter 3-Cell Division this week! On Monday of this week, we viewed Euglena under the microscope and did some standardized test preparation with a passage about the Euglena called the "Euglena Puzzle". We also watched "Inside the Cell" and wrote a video summary with the notes we took during the video. On Tuesday, we did vocabulary four squares with the vocab words from 1.1 and 1.3. We also had a matching sheet where we matched the organelles of the cell with their function and a fun way to remember them. Tomorrow we will begin reviewing for a test over Ch. 1 on Friday.
We have been exploring cells via a webquest! Tomorrow, we will be learning about the three domains. We will be testing over Chapter 1 next Friday, but we will be ready. Science rules!
Today, we began our unit on cells by doing a KWL on cells and microscopes, the reading guide for 1.1 and watched "What is a Living Thing".
