Garden Growers Meeting Note- Attached is a link that contains information as a review over our Garden Growers meeting from yesterday. Once you open this link, it should be in your drive or google documents folder and I am also going to be sending out an email to all biology students to reach those who are not in class right now. You should read through it and make sure you are aware of what is going on.
1st Hour Biology A
Students again today will be working on their electronic media presentation over the water cycle. I will begin presentations on Monday of topics that were not selected by students in first hour so all topics will be covered in class, through my presentations or yours as you give it to the rest of the class members.
You should be remembering to work on your question assignment as it will be due in the middle of next week. Often we can only think about one thing at a time. You need to continue working on the questions to get this work done.You have two assignments that are due mid-next week. 1) Water Cycle questions which were assigned early last week and 2) your electronic presentation over the water cycle.
3rd Hour Biology B
Students today will be working on the Basic Ecology questions that were assigned earlier in the week. They are now posted below. Students will have to open the document, make a copy and begin reading the information over Wildlife Ecology Basics to be able to answer the questions. There are only a few questions, but the answers to each will be lengthy.
Wildlife Ecology Basics Questions.
A & P 4th Hour
Anatomy students will be using the document linked below over Tib/Fib functions to prepare for the tib/fib test on Monday. As a homework assignment, students should be working over the functions and articulations of the tarsal bones in the foot so they gain an understanding of where these bones are located and what functions they serve.

Bio A 1st Hour
Students today are working on their presentations over the water cycle topic they selected. These presentations will be due next week sometime. I will be providing information later in the week as to when the presentations will be due. Students need get their presentation material ready and practice. Presentations should not be read, students should know what they have learned.
As another presentation media tool, I have attached a brochure template to this posting below. Students will have to make a copy of it, name it and then they can modify it. This template will be used to produce our Garden Growers Brochure and students should pay attention to the top headings over each column to know where they are at in the brochure.
Students do not have to use the brochure template as their presentation media, they can use powerpoints, prezi's, google documents or any other type of electronic media or they my use poster boards to provide their visual representation of data they have accumulated.

Bio B 3rd Hour-
Students were given several assignments on Thursday that they need to continue working on. At the present time, I only have 6 of the narratives that were completed on Thursday shared with me. Students should be finishing up the narrative first and then continuing with the other two. Keep in mind your project work and continue working on it as well. You have a lot to finish up on prior to the end of this 2nd trimester.
A & P 4th Hour.
Getting my teeth pulled on Thursday turned out to be a little harder on this old man than I thought. I did not get your test for today prepared and so I am providing the class time to study and we will take the test over the Femur on Wed. I still have students who need to make up past test, and will take the time to do so today in class as well. We will end up taking the tib/fib test on Friday and the rest of class that day will be used for your project work.

Bio A 1st Hour- Today students will be working on the water cycle questions. They began this assignment yesterday and should continue working on it today as well. They have presentation projects over the water cycle that they need to be working on as well. As I did yesterday, I told students that it may be best to spend part of the hour working on their questions and use a portion of the hour to work on the presentation over the topic they selected within the water cycle.
Bio B 3rd Hour- We are going to begin our work in the Envirothon topic Wildlife. There are several sites listed below. With each link is an explanation of how we will use it and what you are to do. These are all assignments we will have over the last couple weeks of the trimester. You should complete your narrative first and then move on to the other two assignments. Once you finish the Narrative, share it with me. I am not saying it should be completed by the end of the hour, in fact, the best will take some time to be creative with but I will discuss its due date with you on Tuesday when we return.
Wildlife Terms- Students are to use this document to create a narrative leading the reader on an adventure into nature. You do not need to use all the terms within the Wildlife Terms document, but the usage of these terms should make sense and be used order to gain understanding about the adventure you are creating. Have fun with this, but idea behind it is to understand more of the terms covering our understanding of Wildlife.
Winter Adaptations- Students are to read the article Winter Adaptations. From this information students should create a document and write a summary of it including major terms and the understanding that the author intended on you gaining by reading it.
Wildlife Ecology Basics- Students should read this article and answer the questions linked below.
Wildlife Ecology Questions
A & P - 4th Hour
Anatomy students are working on projects today. Keep in mind that before you will begin any project, you will need to share your research and your project details describing the target audience, how you will present your material and the steps and procedures of the project or experiment.
They will be taking the test over functions of the femur on Tuesday when they return. Students may print from their iPads on the printer in our room if they want a study copy of the material posted to the blog yesterday over the functions of the femur.

I have decided to allow you to have your work day on projects on Thursday since I will be gone from school, and we will have our test over the functions of the femur on Tuesday when you return. We have several that are sick and this will give everyone a chance to catch up. Below are the notes for the functions of the femur.

Listed below is the first set of questions over the water cycle. You will need to go to your documents or drive folder, or open the document and then go to desktop version to make a copy of the questions to make them your own. Then you will be able to modify them and put your answers into the questions.
Watercycle Questions
Bio B 3rd Hour
Today we will be looking at test questions and get through as many as possible. These are selected off of the material I gave last week in the document with the assessment prep material from the McGraw Hill publishing company. These items allow us to look at a wide variety information and we will try to get through as many as possible.
We will be taking the Kansas State Assessment tomorrow. For those students not present in class tomorrow, we will use seminar and first lunch on Thursday to get the test taken as I have to go have teeth pulled on Thursday. If a student in this class cannot get the test taken either Wed. or Thurs., you will have to come back in May to take it because that is when the next window is offered by the State of Kansas.
A & P 4th Hour. Students wanted to put the test off until Wed and so we have done so, but will be testing Thursday over the structures of the Femur, post superior and inferior portions of it. I will probably have the functions of the femur done by the end of class today or by the beginning of class tomorrow.

1st Hour Bio A
Today we are going to begin reading information about our water cycle. This is an important part of our environment and is a key component to all living things. In our water unit, we will be using several documents to understand the water cycle itself and then how watersheds control the water and distribute it throughout our planet.
What is the Water Cycle
Read the link above and then begin answering the questions that I have for you below.
