2. Test corrections due no later than Wednesday!

Standards and Benchmarks (Geometry 9-12):

1. CC.9-12.G.SRT.5: Use congruence...criteria for triangles to solve problems and prove relationships. 

Big Idea:

1. Properties of triangle congruence allows us to solve complex geometric problems. 

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. Coin Drive Donations
3. Review Previous Homework: Sec. 5-6; Read Pgs 352-354; Problems Pgs 354-355 #s 1-6, 9-14, 18-25

1. Sec. 5-7; Read Pgs 360-363; Problems Pgs 363-364 #s 1-14; 30-35
2. Corrections to Chapter 4 Test (Optional)
1. To earn back 1/2 of your lost points:
1. On a clean sheet of paper:
1. Correct Answer must be identified and
2. Appropriate work or explanation must be written that
1. Demonstrates correct understanding of the problem

**Chemistry**

Announcements:  

1. Beginning QTR3 - Students will need a notebook SPECIFICALLY for Entry Tasks.  Please be sure you have obtained one prior to January 27th. 

Standards and Benchmarks:

1. EALR4.9-11.PSC:  When elements are listed in order according to the number of protons, repeating patterns of physical and chemical properties identify families of elements with similar properties.  This Periodic Table is a consequence of the repeating pattern of outermost electrons.   

Big Idea:

1. The periodic table is a useful tool for understanding the properties of the atom.
2. Elements are grouped or classified according to similar chemical properties. 

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. Entry Task
3. Return Periodic Table Trends Quiz / Review
1. Opportunity for Correction (for Partial Credit)
4. Return Scoring for Element Presentations

Homework:

1. Complete corrections for Periodic Table Trends Quiz (Due Wednesday)

***Biology***

Announcements:

1. None. 

Standards and Benchmarks (Biology 9-12):

1. EALR 4.9-11.LS1G:  Cells us the DNA that forms their genes to encode enzymes and her proteins that allow a cell to grow and divide to produce more cells, and to respond to the environment. 
2. EALR 4.9-11.LS1H:  Genes are carred on chromosomes.  Animal cells contain two copies of each chromosome with genetic information that regulate body structure and functions.  Most cells dived by a processes called mitosis, in which the genetic information is copied so that each new cell contains exact copies of the original chromosomes.   (Primary Focus)

Big Idea(s):

1. Organisms reproduce by passing genetic information to their offspring.

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. Entry Task
3. Introduction to New Topic:  Heredity/Genetics/Reproduction
4. Pre-Reading Assignment:  Section 23.1 from Textbook. 

Homework:  

1. Finish Pre-reading
2. Section 23.1 Review (All)  (Use complete sentences.)

****Life Science****

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR THE HEART RATE LABORATORY CLICK HERE

Announcements:  

1. Final Laboratory Presentation Due: Today!

Standards and Benchmarks (Life Science 6-8):

1. EALR 4.6-8.LS1C:  Multicellular organisms have specialized cells that perform different functions.  These cells join together to form tissues that give organs their structure and enable organs to perform specialized functions within organ systems.
2. EALR 4.6-8.LS1C:  Describe the components and functions of the digestive, circulatory, and respiratory systems in humans and how these systems interact.  

Big Idea:

1. The respiratory system is composed of cells that form various tissues that aid in the breathing process. 

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. Collect Book A - Pass out Book B
3. Entry Task
4. Check for HR Laboratory Completion
5. Review of Respiratory and Circulatory System
6. Video:  Respiratory and Circulatory System.
1. Video Worksheets (Will complete in class tomorrow)

Homework:

1. Continue work on Heart Rate Laboratory
2. Discussion Questions for the Heart Rate Laboratory (Click HERE!)

Announcements:

1. None

Standards and Benchmarks:

1. CCSS-GSRT.1
2. 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
3. CCSS-GSRT.7
1. Explain and use the relationship between sine and cosine of complementary angles.
4. CCSS-F-TF
1. Explain how the unit circle in the coordinate plane enables the extension of trigonometric functions to all real numbers, interpreted as radian measures of angles traversed counterclockwise around the unit circle.  

Big Idea:

1. Radians are the standard measure of angle in many areas of mathematics and engineering.
2. The Unit Circle is a standard circle used in trigonometric functions. 

Class Outline: 

1. Review PACE Pgs 30-36
2. If Time:  Work on Mid-Year Project
