**Chemistry**

Announcements:  

1. None

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. Chemistry is the study of matter and its behavior.

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. Discuss Scheduling of Retake Test 
3. Review from Yesterday:
1. Recreate Structure of Matter Diagram (From Memory)
2. List physical properties of matter
3. List chemical properties of matter
4. Describe the difference between physical and chemical changes.
5. What are methods of physical separation?
1. Fractional Crystalization
2. Chromatography
4. BrainPop: Compounds and Mixtures
5. Review Section 2.1
1. Precipitates
6. Class time for homework. (Did not have time)

Homework:

1. None

***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.  

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. BrainPop Video:  Cell Structures 
3. Video Search:  Parts of the Cell
1. Students search the web for a video that describes/explains the parts of a cell.  
1. Video must be at least two minutes, but less than five. 
2. Use this form to submit the URL of the video
3. Videos will be shared with classmates
4. Classification and Categorization:
1. Parts of the Cell
1. Purpose:  Students will identify which parts of the cell are responsible for:  energy capture and release, formation of proteins, waste disposal, the transfer of information, and movement. 
2. Task:
1. Construct a 4 column table classifying each part of the cell (use table from chapter 22)
2. Write definitions
5. Cell Structure Rap:  
6. Reading:  Chapter 22:  Section 2

Homework:

1. Complete above assignment if necessary.
2. Finish reading Chapter 22, Section 1

****Life Science****

Announcements:  


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.

Class Outline:
