*Geometry*

Announcements:

1. Chapter Resources Can Be Found HERE

Standards and Benchmarks (Geometry 9-12):

1. CCSS.9-12.G.CO.6:  Use geometric descriptions of rigid motions to transform figures and to predict the effect of a given rigid motion on a given figure; given two figures, use the definition of contruence in terms of rigid motions to decide if they are congruent. 

Big Idea:

1. Isometric transformations are ones that do not change the shape of a geometric figure.

**Chemistry**

Announcements:  

1. 
   

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.

***Biology***

Announcements:

1. Today is a Work Day for the Ethics of Genetics Assignment

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 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. Advances in genetics have led to many ethical dilemmas. 

Class Outline:

1. Attendance
2. Entry Task (None Today)
3. Review Calendar
4. Review Ethics Assignment:
1. Ethics of Genetics Instructions
2. Ethics of Genetics Article

****Life Science****

Announcements:  

1. 
   

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. Review Worksheet: Predation: Deer and Wolves
1. Answer Key

Homework:

1. Cut Notecards for Predator/Prey Simulation
1. Each student will be given 9 notecards
2. The notecards will need cut into 8 pieces each.   You will have 72 squares that are approximately 1 inch by 1 inch. 
2. Food Chains and Food Webs Worksheets

***Trigonometry***

Announcements:

1. 
   

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.
