Standards and Benchmarks (Geometry 9-12):

1. CC.9-12.G.CO.11: Prove theorems about parallelograms. 

Big Idea:

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. Coin Drive Donations
3. Review:  Sec 6-5; #s 9-16, 24-26

1. Review: Chapter 06 Cumulative Test Study Guide 

**Chemistry**

Announcements:  

1. None

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. Reminder:  QR Code Link Assignment (see below)
4. Review Section 9.1 Review Questions
5. Review Lewis Dot Structures

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.  

Big Idea(s):

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

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. Entry Task
3. Review Pages 1-4 of Meiosis and Mitosis Packet
4. Review Mitosis
5. Class time for Meiosis and Mitosis Packet:  Pages 6-8

Homework:  

1. Meiosis and Mitosis Packet, Pages 6-8

****Life Science****

Announcements:  

1. Respiratory System/Circulatory System Test 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.
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. Respiratory/Circulatory System Test
3. When Finished:  

Homework:

1. TBA

***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. Fundamental math skills are the building blocks upon which trigonometric skills are built.

Class Outline: 

1. Review Math Basics Packet:  Up to 'Fraction Reduction'
2. Class Time for Math Basics Packet
