**Chemistry**

Announcements:  

1. Chromatography Lab due Tomorrow.
2. Chapter 2 Quiz on Monday
1. Quiz will be multiple choice covering the following topics:
1. Subatomic Particles (but not quarks)
1. Names 
2. Characteristics
2. Atomic Number
1. Definition
3. Mass Number
1. Isotopes
4. Ions
5. Atomic Mass

Standards and Benchmarks:

1. EALR4.9-11.PS2A:  Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.   The nucleus of an atom take up very little of the atom's volume but makes up almost all of the mass.  The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, which are much more massive than the electrons surrounding the nucleus.  Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge.   
2. EALR4.9-11.PS2H:  Solutions are mixtures in which particles of one substance are evenly distributed through another substance.  Liquids are limited in the amount of dissolved solid or gas that they can contain.  Aqueous solutions can be described by relative quantities of the dissolved substances and acidity or alkalinity (pH).

Big Idea:

1. Mixtures can be separated by physical means: Chromotagraphy is the physical separation of a liquid mixture.

***Biology***

Announcements:

1. <Biology Outline>

Standards and Benchmarks:

1. EALR 4.9-11.LS1D:  The cell is surrounded by a membrane that separates the interior of the cell from the outside world and determines which substances may enter and which may leave.  
2. EALR 4.9-11.LS1C:  Cells contain specialized parts for determining essential functions such as regulation of cellular activities, energy capture and release, formation of proteins, waste disposal, the transfer of information, and movement.  

Big Idea(s):

1. Cells are the smallest unit of a living organism.   Within cells are the essential parts for photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

****Life Science****

Announcements:  

1. Test Today

Standards and Benchmarks:

1. EALR 6-8.LS3A: <State Standard for Evolution>
2. KCS:   Students will know that there is scientific evidence which refutes evolutionary theory and suggests an alternate method of creation is possible.  
3. KCS:  Students will be able to distinguish between scientific facts and interpretation of facts. 
4. KCS:  Students will be able to identify scientific facts and give multiple explanations for the same set of facts.  
5. KCS:  Students will be able to identify what a 'Worldview' is and how one's worldview influences their thought process.  

Big Idea:

1. There are multiple facts which can be interpreted differently, either in favor of or against evolution.
2. The task of the critical Christian mind is to examine evidence carefully and weigh interpretation against biblical truth.
