Microscope & Onion(Cell) Labs

Students who earned less than a 2 in any of the 5 sections of their Microscope labs must RESUBMIT their update labs on Tuesday Jan. 31st.

Onion(Cell) Labs are also due Tuesday now based on their feedback received in class today:

* conclusions: have 3 parts (refer back to hypothesis, how errors happened, make recommendations to improve lab in future)

* include quick picture of procedure (stick figures work!)

* use scientific terms (i.e. specimen versus thing)

Fraction Tests

My apologies to parents who have already received an email re info in this post!

Fraction retest is bumped to next Thursday.

EVERYONE must complete corrections (in another colour or on a separate piece of paper) & have a parent/guardian sign their test. Due Monday.

See me for help 8:15-8:45 mon-thurs (or ask me for a nut break or lunch appointment)

Microscope Retest tomorrow @ 8:15 sharp!

No Microscope Retest today!

Good morning Everyone!

I can’t get to school safely today–especially with my son and NO snow tires.

So, there is NO retest today.

Fraction Unit Test tomorrow

Hi everyone,
For tomorrow’s test make sure you review math comprehension for multiplying & dividing fractions. Also basic numeracy for add/subtr/divide/multiply. I will create the test tonight using our fraction worksheets & daily quizzes.

Trying to exceed expectations? Make a quick voicethread on multiplying fractions & send it to me. 1/3 of 1 1/2 is a great question!

Don’t forget your marksheet!

Okay peeps, tomorrow your Microscope Labs & voicethread.com projects are due.

Thank you to groups who have already emailed me the Math assignment.

Also, please DON’T FORGET to bring your marksheet to class tomorrow. I need it to mark your projects. Everyone hands in a marksheet–not just 1 per group.

Can’t find yours? See my links to the right —->

Dates to record in your planner:
Mon Jan 16 = fraction unit test
Thur Jan 19 = MScope retest

Black line in my microscope?!

What is the black line I see when I look through my microscope eyepiece?
Some of our high-power microscopes come with a built-in pointer so that a person viewing a slide can easily direct someone else where to look for a specific feature. This pointer appears as a black line across half of the field of view. To move the pointer, just turn the top of the eyepiece.
