    **Chemistry**


    Announcements:  

    Standards and Benchmarks:
    1. EALR4.9-11.PS2G:  Chemical reactions change the arrangement of atoms in the molecules of substances.  Chemical reactions release or acquire energy from their surroundings and result in the formation of new substances.  
    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.

    ***Biology***
    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 carried 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.

      1. Read section 23.3
      2. For each word in BOLD:
        1. Write a definition in YOUR OWN WORDS. 
        2. Write a sentence of your own using the word in PROPER CONTEXT.
    Homework:  
    1. Read section 23.3
    2. For each word in BOLD:
      1. Write a definition in YOUR OWN WORDS. 
      2. Write a sentence of your own using the word in PROPER CONTEXT.
    ****Life Science****
    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 (None Today)
    3. Check Draft #2 of Blood Cell Narrative
    4. Peer Review of Draft #1 for Blood Cell Narrative
      1. Class Time for:  Blood Cell Narrative Assignment
        1. Final Product:  Students will be creating a written narrative of a blood cell it travels through the human body.   The narrative is supposed to give a 1st person perspective of the path blood cells take and the interactions they have as they travel through the human body.  
          1. Step #1 (In Groups)
            1. Identify Key Words associated with each of the systems:
              1. The Digestive System
              2. The Circulatory System
              3. The Skeletal System
              4. The Respiratory System
          2. Step #2 (In Groups):  Brainstorm Ideas for encounters with:
            1. The Digestive System
            2. The Circulatory System
            3. The Skeletal System
            4. The Respiratory System
          3. Step #3 (Individually):  Identify the 'Scenario'
            1. What will your person be doing?  What is the body's condition as the blood cell is traveling through the body?
          4. Step #4 (Individually):  What will be the 'problem' the blood cell encounters and what will be two possible resolutions?
          5. Step #5 (Individually):  Rough Draft #1 of Narrative  
          6. Step #6 (Groups):  Rough Draft #1 Peer Review of Narrative
            1. Students should consider suggestions from peers, then improve and expand and incorporate suggestions into their draft #2 of the narrative. 
          7. Step #7 (Individually):  Rough Draft #2 of Narrative
          8. Step #8 (Groups):  Rough Draft #2 Peer Review
            1. Students should consider suggestions from peers, then improve and expand and incorporate suggestions into their final narrative. 
          9. Step #9 (Individually):  Final Rough Draft - Turned in on Paper
        2. Students will receive a 'productivity' grade for each class work day given for the narrative assignment.   Students who are working productively will receive full credit.
        Homework:
        1. Continue to Improve Draft #2 of Blood Cell Narrative (Final, Typed copy due on Thursday this week.)

        ***Trigonometry***

        Announcements:

        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
            1. CCSS-GSRT.7
              1. Explain and use the relationship between sine and cosine of complementary angles.
            2. 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. Attendance
