Tonight's Reading

As of today, you should have read chapter 25.  We also took notes in class today over the chapter and answered the questions on the self-quiz.  Tonight you need to read through chapter 26.  We will take a few notes tomorrow over the first page of handouts (which you already have) and we will also begin sorting through the hormones.  I have a manipulative that you can work on in class tomorrow with a partner.  I printed the cards from quizlet.  If you go on quizlet and search 'endocrine system', it is #7 on the results list.  There are 22 terms and they are VERY close to our vocabulary.  You can go ahead and give it a test run tonight if you'd like.

Quiz Friday will be over all of chapter 25 and the first three sections of chapter 26 (NOT the hormones--yet.)

Tonight's Reading

Read chapter 25 tonight.  Make sure you look carefully at the diagram of the nephron I gave you in class today.  We will discuss this in class tomorrow.  We will quiz on Friday over chapter 25 and maybe the first part of chapter 26.  You have handouts for both chapters.

Quiz Tomorrow

Don't forget!  Quiz tomorrow (Monday, March 14) over chapter 24--the immune system.  You have vocabulary and a detailed graphic organizer for this chapter. Both are on the blue paper.  The quiz will have approximately 20 multiple choice questions.  You will not have much time in class to study before the quiz, so make sure you get in some time today/tonight.  We start chapter 25 tomorrow as well.  Time is ticking to May 9th...

Tonight's Reading

Have the vocabulary assigned in class today completed by class time tomorrow.  We will organize the major concepts of the immune system tomorrow, namely innate vs. acquired immunity and humoral vs. cell-mediated immunity.  Remember, there will be a quiz over this chapter on MONDAY, March 14th.  Please keep up with the reading and start learning the vocabulary.  Tonight.  Also--iPOD.  Have it with you and charged tomorrow.  I will check in tonight for questions.

Tonight's Reading

Please begin going through chapter 24 on the immune system.  We will begin sorting through and organizing the information tomorrow.  This is a detailed chapter, so for right now hit the high spots:  chapter summary; headings, key vocabulary, charts, tables, diagrams.  Try to get an idea of the big picture:  innate vs. acquired immunity; humoral vs. cell-mediated.  Those are crucial.  Also--don't forget to have your iPOD tomorrow morning, charged and ready to go.

Test Tomorrow

I will check in periodically tonight so if anyone has a question,  please ask.  There is no essay tomorrow.  Study your handouts/peer notes, diagrams in the book, questions at the end of the chapter, and the manipulative for respiratory and circulatory pathways.  There are 45 questions total tomorrow. 

Reading/Studying

If you have not done so already, cut out the pieces to your manipulatives you received in class today (respiratory system was on the left, circulatory on the right) and start trying to put them in order.  Make sure you have read both chapters (22 and 23) and are studying your notes/handouts.  We will finish the circulatory system tomorrow and I will give you time for research.  Lab on Friday.
