| 5 | Begining Unit 1: Characteristics of Living Things
For the next two weeks, (October 5th through the 19th) the life science classes will be working in their first notebook, Diversity of Life Investigation 1.
This unit focuses on the characteristics seen in all living organisms. Students will be evaluating and redefining their ideas on what it means to be a living organism.The module will include an experiment where the students must determine which of 5 mystery samples is living. |
| 23 | Unit Test : Diversity of Life Investigation 1 (May be moved to October 24th)
Unit test on the characteristics of living things. Questions will include:
- The characteristics of all living things ( growth, reproduction, response, needing energy, needing water, gas exchange, and elimination of waste)
- Identifying the independent and dependent variables , constants, and controls in an experiment.
- The difference between non-living and dead.
- Dormancy and examples of dormant organisms.

| 30 | Beginning Microscopes: Lenses, Magnification and Refraction
Today in class (10-30-17), students worked with hand lenses to determine how lenses affected the magnification and resolution of an image. This will lead to our second FOSS investigation about the microscope. |
