**Chemistry**

Announcements:  

1. Quiz TODAY over Naming of Compounds (Formulas from Names)
2. Reading Check-up on Tuesday, February 4th.  (Chapter 9, Section 1)
1. Focus on:  The different types of bonds.  

Standards and Benchmarks:

1. EALR4.9-11.PSD: Ions are produced when atoms or molecules lose or gain electrons, thereby gaining a positive or negative electrical charge.  Ions of opposite charge are attracted to each other, forming ionic bonds.   Chemical formulas for ionic compounds represent the proportion of ion of each element in the ionic crystal.  
2. EALR4.9-11.PSE: Molecular compounds are composed of two or more elements bonded together in a fixed proportion by sharing electrons between atoms, forming covalent bonds.  Such compounds consist of well-defined molecules.  Formulas of covalent compounds represent the types and number of atoms of each element in each molecule. 

Big Idea:

1. Various types of chemical bonds exist based on the electronegativity difference of the bonding atoms.
2. The type of bonding between elements, in part, determines properties of the compound. 

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. Entry Task
3. Finish Review: Writing Formulas from Names (Extra Practice:  Names of Compounds)
4. Writing Formulas from Names (Ionic Compounds vs. Covalent Compounds)
5. QUIZ:  Naming Compounds
6. Reading Assignment:  Chapter 9 - Section 1.
1. Reading Check-up on Tuesday, February 4th.  

Homework:

***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. Finish Video:  Standard Deviants:  Biology:  Heredity and Inheritance (About 10 minutes)
4. Video:  Meiosis and Mitosis
1. Review Meiosis and Mitosis

Homework:  

1. Meiosis and Mitosis Packet (Due

****Life Science****

Announcements:  

1. Respiratory System/Circulatory System Test on Wednesday, February 5th.
1. Study Guide HERE.

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.
2. The circulatory system is composed of various organs and cells that are responsible for transporting blood and nutrients throughout the body.  

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. Entry Task
3. Finish Video:  Standard Deviants: Circulatory System
4. Review Circulatory System and Respiratory System

Homework:

1. Review for Respiratory/Circulatory System Test

***Trigonometry***

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. 
3. Graphs of Trignometric functions of the form y=d + a sin(bx + c) can be manipulated in a predictable fashion.
