Bell Work Question of the Day:

Name four days of the week that start with the letter T.

Page 9: Class Happenings

Forensic Science – Tuesday • We will be discussing parts of blood today – 4

different parts • We will then talk about the four blood types and

how they differ • All information about blood parts and types can be

found on pages 223 – 226 in your book• If there is time, we will play a blood typing game :

Bell Work Question of the Day:

Can you relate any of the issues that Vincent faces in the world of GATTACA to any issues that you face in the

world today?

Page 11: Class Happenings

Biology – Tuesday

• Finish GATTACA

• MCA test prep • Complete 9 – 16 on your own first, then we

will discuss together

Bell Work Question of the Day:

When designing your wooden catapult, did you take a different

approach to construction than you did with your mousetrap catapult? Why or why not?

Page 13: Class Happenings

STEM – Tuesday • FINAL DAY - Launch catapults – complete

Forensic Science Wednesday, April 24th, 2013

Bell Work Question of the Day:A farmer has five haystacks in one field and four haystacks in another. How many haystacks would he have if he combined

them all in one field?

Page 15: Class Happenings

Forensic Science – Wednesday

• You will have the opportunity to blood type yourself today if you would like to. •We will then complete a warm-up blood typing lab for the rest of the hour. Directions for the lab will be handed out.

Biology Wednesday, April 24th, 2013

Bell Work Question of the Day:

Name as many of the parts of DNA as you can

remember

Page 17: Class Happenings

Biology – Wednesday •We will begin by watching a crash course biology video about DNA structure to review what we already know about DNA• Before you leave today, you need to have a good understanding of the parts of DNA and what DNA replication is

All of the information we will be discussing is in

chapter 12.3 in your Biology book

STEM Wednesday, April 24th, 2013

Bell Work Question of the Day:

What structures make for a good bridge?

Page 19: Class Happenings

STEM – Wednesday •The Marshmallow challenge

Your materials: 20 sticks of spaghetti, 1 yard of tape, 1 yard of string, and 1 marshmallow.

Your Challenge: Make the highest freestanding structure you can in 20 minutes. The marshmallow has to be on the top!!

Forensic Science Thursday, April 25th, 2013

Bell Work Question of the Day:

In a major league baseball game, a pitcher faced only 27 batters. Every batter he faced, he struck out. He

allowed no hits and no runs, yet his team lost 4-0. How could this be?

Page 21: Class Happenings

Forensic Science – Thursday

• Today we will complete an ABO/Rh blood typing lab. Directions can be found on page 227 of your book.

Page 22: Class Happenings

Biology Thursday, April 25th, 2013

Bell Work Question of the Day:

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Page 23: Class Happenings

Biology – Thursday • Review material from yesterday • Transcription, Translation, and

Replication – What are they? • TTR Worksheet • Different types of mutations that can

occur during TTR…

Bell Work Question of the Day:

What are some common bridge designs?

Page 25: Class Happenings

STEM – Thursday • Bridges Webquest in the computer lab! •When you get to a computer, google search: Bridges Webquest. The one that I would like you to do is the first one that pops up!

•You NEED to follow directions!!!! The site will walk you through the quest. Make sure that you print out the worksheet FIRST!!
