   1. Chapter 2 Quiz Today

   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. We understand the structure of the atom by deductive reasoning.

   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.  
   2. Organelles carry out the essential functions of the cell.

   1. New Unit
   2. Quiz: Next Thursday: Structure and Function of 

   Standards and Benchmarks:

   1. EALR 4.6-8.LS1A:  All organisms are composed of cells, which carry out the many functions needed to sustain life.
   2. EALR 4.6-8.LS1D:  Both plant and animal cells must carry on life functions, so they have parts in common, such as nuclei, cytoplasm, cell membranes, and mitochondria.  But plants have specialized cell parts, such as chloroplasts for photosynthesis and cell walls, which provide plants their overall structure. 

   Big Idea:

   1. Cells are the basic units of living organisms, themselves consisting of many parts that have varying functions.
