We completed several demonstrations of diffusion and osmosis to understand how plants move water from the root to through the stem. We proved that osmosis is diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane with dialysis tubing and corn syrup.
We made observations on the root features of two common plants found in Alberta and completed our reading and notes on roots and stems. Tomorrow is osmosis day! Yeah!
We completed our review assignment for topic 1 and the text pages 92-101. Students read to page 109 when finished. Please have the topic 1 review assignment finished for tomorrow if not submitted in class today. You may see yesterday's post for a copy of the sheet.
We completed our notes in class today. We discussed herbal remedies and did the short multiple choice question section on page 99. Students received the Topic 1 (Chapter 1 in our unit) review assignment today near the end of the period. We will continue working on these questions in class tomorrow with an expected due date of Wednesday.
We finished our reading and discussion of the text reading through to page 101. Students gathered plant fibre from our school yard to be processed into paper. We will begin this step on Monday. No homework yet but we will begin our Unit B Topic 1 review assignment in class on Monday. Class time will be given and a due date posted on Monday. Thanks everyone for a great start to the year!
We completed our practice assignment for the WHIMIS safety symbol system and continued our notes and discussion of Topic 1 in the text. We have read together Pages 92-95 and have completed notes to this point as well.
