Due:

Polysaccharides in Google Classroom

Polysaccharides

Good day! Please review the Slides and take notes. I will be making a video of those slides at some point as I did for the Disaccharides.

Due:

Monosaccharides in Google Classroom

Monosaccharides

Please use these slides to take notes in the Unit 11 packet or on your own paper. I will be posting a form for you later as a checkin to this assignment. I'm slow this morning and need to get some coffee in me.

Due:

Modeling monosaccharides in Google Classroom

Modeling monosaccharides

Good day, biologists. Today you are going to do some modeling with either cut pieces of paper or really anything you can find lying around the house. You need to be able to spot carbohydrates, and is some cases, draw. Practicing these models repetitively, and over many days, is the aim for remembering them for a test or quiz. Please do not just upload your pictures and then not practice again. This will count as a Lab grade as we would do a version of this in class. Upload a picture of your model(s) when finished.

Pattern Matching Lab Parts 6 & 7 in Google Classroom

Pattern Matching Lab Parts 6 & 7

Good day, biologists. I hope you are well. For today, continue with Parts 6 & 7 of the Pattern Matching Lab. I posted a video of a discussion some of us had about Part 2 of the lab. If you are confused, watch it as it will help with other parts.

Due:

Pattern Matching - Part 1 due tomorrow in Google Classroom

Pattern Matching - Part 1 due tomorrow

Good day, biologists. I hope you are all doing well. Today we are going to begin a Pattern Matching Lab to learn to both identify and draw organic molecules. For this activity you will need to print and cut out some molecules which are linked on page 1. I am investigating a way we could do this without printing but nothing yet to share with you on that. The assignment will last until next week but we will have individual assignments along the way. You will be responsible for completing the lab by following and answering questions when prompted in the red rectangles, taking a picture of your lab book (or paper), and uploading that picture to Classroom.

Due:

Vitamins and Minerals in Google Classroom

Vitamins and Minerals

Use the slides to complete the pages in the packet or on separate paper if you can’t print. Try to include diagrams. Be prepared to "show" this for a stamp. Be well.

Due:

T-Test from Water Lab Data

Good day biologists. Today we held a Google Meet where we discussed how to do a T-test. That recorded meeting is linked below along the weekly items (pdf, slides, etc.), shared during the Meet. All of these are also linked in the scheduled posted that was posted for this week on Monday. Please reach out with questions through email or our Chat Room.

Remote Learning  in Google Classroom

Remote Learning

Good day, biologists. I miss you all and hope that you are well at the time you are reading this. On Monday, we will officially begin the "Amundsen HS School Remote Learning Plan" that was shared with the Amundsen community. When you have had a chance to review, you will see that you are scheduled to spend between 12-1 on a science activity, with Thursday being a day for a live activity. As a teacher of well over 100 students, I am unsure how to manage this one hour "live activity" across three different classes. Because of this, I am asking you to complete the attached Google Form to propose that we "meet" live as a class on some other day of the week during that 12-1 time slot. Please rank the days in your preferred order and we will determine our schedule with a democratic vote.

In terms of the 1-2pm "Office Hours" time each day, this is a time for you to ask whatever you might need to ask of me as a teacher during such a time, if we were to actually meet in our classroom. We will use any of the Amundsen approved methods of communication to conduct these interactions during Office Hours. That being said, I want you to know that I am available through email ([email protected]) at almost any point throughout the day, and usually respond in a reasonable amount of time, so please do not ever hesitate to reach out to me there. These are unprecedented times and anticipate many challenges ahead in terms of this remote learning model. We will do our best to make this as positive of an experience that as we can for all. Be well and "see" you Monday!

Due:

What is the best show/movie that you have streamed since school closed on March 17th? in Google Classroom

What is the best show/movie that you have streamed since school closed on March 17th?
