Bookmark
this site for information about class discussions, assignments,
extra credit projects and science class events. During the 1st
term, you will be learning the steps involved in the scientific
method and creating your first lab and lab report. You will
be introduced to the cell and you will learn about each of its
organelles. Each of you will create a unique 3D model of a cell
such at the two displayed below.
Learning
about the cell will lay the groundwork for us to study genetics
and human genetic disorders. Click
Here to see a chart outline of our entire year. Check out
Anianaeth's
Science Blog to add more comments to our class discussion.
Please submit blog posts to mschaloner@groups.mac.com.
We will keep posts anonymous, but you can see responses to your
ideas on the blog.

the plant and
animal cells.
Type the code into the green box on the left of the

- Visit
the Exploratorium
to see a gallery of cell structure and function slides.
- Check
out Biology
for Kids where you'll cell illustrations and much
more!
- Visit
Enchanted
Learning to find more cell models to color in
as well as other biology diagrams.
- See
a list of links and illustrations that show cell parts
and cell projects: Kathi
Mitchell's Science for Kids.
 Remember
"A Wrinkle in Time?" Challenge this term
- what cell parts were important to the story? Write
a few paragraphs about the cell parts used in the
story and how they compare to the real cell. Submit
your answer by October 24th, 2005.
