Science Times
By: Mr. Kottkey (Issue #17)
Announcements
Remember, I will take any missing work/make-up work/ or corrections up through January 22.
Last week in science, we finished the mitosis unit (INB pages 54-59.) Tuesday we will take a look at this process through the microscopes. Then on Wednesday we will have our last summative grade of the quarter with the mitosis quiz. (Make sure you know all the stages and what is going on in each stage)
The last part of the week we will dive into Meiosis, which is the division of sex cell (The egg and the sperm.) This is simply how those cells divide and how it differs from Mitosis.
AGAIN....If the kids use their class time wisely this week, there should not be much homework. I would appreciate it if parents would take a look through and discuss the last 10-15 pages (up through pg 59) of their INBs with their kids. .
Reminder: the planner, text book pages, instructional videos, handouts, and copies of the notes can also be found on my website.
How to study:
1. Teach someone else the concepts
2. Go through the textbook paragraph by paragraph with sticky notes
3. Look at the questions in the text book (at the end of each section and chapter)
4. Repetition of your Cornell notes
5. Re-watch the instructional videos
6. Explore more videos that pertain to the concepts
7. Make a practice test for study-buddy
8. Flash Cards
9. Create Mnemonic devices
10. Ask questions!
