respiratory system

We looked at some models of the respiratory system last week.  Tell me how you could build a different model of the respiratory system.  What would you need to put it together?  What part of respiration would it show us?  What would it’s strengths and limitations be?

online science fun

Sometimes you can find things online that are related to science that are fun. I want you to find a youtube video of a science lab, or an online game that has to do with science. Paste the link onto your post, then tell me why you think it is related to science.

Ask a question!

As we near the end of our digestive system unit, I want you to think of one or two well-though out questions you have about digestion. I also want you to tell me a hypothesis of what you think the answer is. For your points this week, you can either ask questions on the blog, or you can answer someone elses, and tell them how you know the answer to the questions, or where you found the answers.

Digestive system

Since we are learning about the digestive system, I want you to find an online article about the food pyramid. Is there only one out there? Are there multiple ones? Why do you think this is? How does this relate to the digestive system?

cells and viruses

This week in class we have been going over information about cells. I want you to find information about how people use viruses to learn more about cells. This needs to be at least 5 sentences and you need to include your sources to receive credit.

new year’s resolution

Now we are in year 2010! Where does the time go? I want you to make a new year’s resolution for science class. Also tell me how you will achieve this goal!

End of the year

Here we are at the end of 2009. We are finishing our 2nd quarter of school. As we look back, what are some things that you did well in science this year? What would you have done differently if you could go back and fix things? Are you happy with your progress and grades? Why or why not?

Concussions

This season concussions have plagued my team. First Brian Westbrook of the Philadelphia Eagles has suffered two, and is out for the season. Last week against the Redskins, my favorite player Desean Jackson suffered a concussion and is possibly out this week or longer. All of this with playoff pictures coming into place make for a stressful end of the regular season! What is a concussion, what do we know about them, and what can we do medically for them? Tell em where you find your information.
