1/2 Day Schedule Today for Conferences

*Geometry*
Announcements:

1. n/a

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.

1. Sec.3-6; Read Pgs 190-193; Problems Pg 194 #s 1-12

**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.

***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.
