**Chemistry**
Announcements:
- Quiz next Tuesday.
- 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.
- 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:
- Chemistry is the study of matter and its behavior.
- Attendance

***Biology***
Announcements:
- Calendar update. Check calendar for upcoming important dates (Projects and Quiz)
- EALR 4, 9-11, LS1A: Carbon containing compounds are the building blocks of life. Photosynthesis is the process that plant cells use to combine the energy of sunlight with molecules of carbon dioxide and water to produce energy-rich compounds that contain carbon (food) and release oxygen.
Big Idea(s):
- Photosynthesis is an essential process in biology.
- Attendance
- Hand-in Quiz Signatures (Due by Thurs.)
- Check Homework: Summary of Photosynthesis
- Introduce Project:
- Photosynthesis/Respiration Presentation (Due Date: October 13)
- Project Handout: Linked HERE.
- Review Videos from Yesterday: Introduce Photosynthesis
- Class time to work on project/research.
Homework:
- Begin research for the Photosynthesis presentation and/or begin constructing the photosynthesis presentation.
- EALR 4, 9-11, LS1A: Carbon containing compounds are the building blocks of life. Photosynthesis is the process that plant cells use to combine the energy of sunlight with molecules of carbon dioxide and water to produce energy-rich compounds that contain carbon (food) and release oxygen.
- None
- EALR 2: 6-8 INQA-INQI: Scientific inquiry involves asking and answering questions and comparing the answer with what scientists already know about the world.... Scientists and engineers have ethical codes governing animal experiments research in natural ecosystems and studies that involve human subjects.
Big Idea:
- Scientific experiments (and the resulting conclusions) are communicated via laboratory reports.
Class Outline:
- Attendance
- Collect Creation Assembly Field Trip Permission Form
- Categorizing and Classifying Discussion
- Categorizing and Classifying Activities:
- BrainPop: Classifying
Homework:
- Book Condition Report:
- Please use the book condition report (Linked HERE) to identify damage to your recently assigned textbook. These books are not in the best condition, so it is important that you make note of the condition so that you are not held accountable for previous damage.
- Categorizing and Classifying
- Create a table in which you have classified/categorized 20 different objects found in your home into three distinct (and creative) categories. By distinct, this means that each object placed into one category could NOT ALSO be placed into another of your defined categories. Be creative with the categories!
****Trigonometry****
Announcements:
- None
Standards and Benchmarks:
- CCSS-GSRT.1
- Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute triangles
- CCSS-GSRT.6
- Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangles, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios.
- CCSS-GSRT.7
- Explain and use the relationship between sine and cosine of complementary angles.
- CSS-GSRT.8
- Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in applied problems.
Big Idea:
- Triangles are geometric shapes which have special properties identified through trigonometric relationships.
Class Outline:
- Attendance
