1/2 Day Schedule Today for Conferences

*Geometry*
Announcements:

1. Homework Assignments/Tests/Quizzes for Qtr2

Standards and Benchmarks:

1. CC.9-12.G.CO.9:  Prove geometric theorems about lines and angles.
2. CC.9-12.G.GPE.5:  Prove the slope criteria for parallel and perpendicular lines and use them to solve... problems...

Big Idea:

1. Special properties exist for parallel and perpendicular lines. 
2. A line in a coordinate plane can be identified using slope (rise and run) and an equation.  

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. Lunch Count
3. Review Homework From Friday: 

Homework:

1. Page 185, #'s 1-9 (Assigned Friday)
2. Page 186-187, #'s 10-33 (Assigned Today)

**Chemistry**

Announcements:  

1. 
   

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.   

Big Idea:

1. We understand the structure of the atom by deductive reasoning.
2. Atoms are composed of subatomic particles that determine their chemical properties.

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. New Seating
3. Where are we going?
1. What are the properties of light?
2. How do we know the electron structures of atoms?
3. What are the Electron Structures of Atoms
4. Understanding Chemical Reactions and Bonding
4. Reading Test Quiz
1. Name two properties of waves.
2. What is the 'Quantum Theory of Light'?
5. Review Reading Chapter 7, Section 1.  
1. Properties of Waves
1. Wavelength
2. Amplitude
3. Frequency
1. Hertz
4. Speed
2. Light
1. As a particle
2. As a wave
3. The Electromagnetic Spectrum
1. Quantum Theory of Light
1. 'Packets' of energy traveling as electromagnetic waves.
2. Dual Nature
1. When interacting with matter, behaves as a particle.
2. When traveling through space, photons act like waves.
4. Worksheet:  Properties of Waves

Homework:

1. Finish Properties of Waves worksheet.  (Do not do problems 1-4 on second page)

***Biology***

Announcements:

1. Plan for Biology Quiz Nov. 13th.

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.

Class Outline:

1. Attendance

1. Maintaining Osmotic Pressure
2. Maintaining proper pH
3. Maintaining Temperature
4. Regulating Food and Wastes
5. Cell maintenance and repair.
6. Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. 
7. Exocytosis
