12/9

This week in science, students started to learn about the different processes that the cell will undergo. We started out with different types of transport (passive and active) and understanding the similarities and differences between the two. Students took a deeper understanding into passive transport, specifically diffusion of water (osmosis) in a Gummy Bear Osmosis Lab. Students completed a 2 day lab. During a discussion afterward, the 7th graders did a really nice job with explaining the science behind their findings. I am eager to read the student labs that have been turned in today in class.
Additionally, today in class students started learning about the process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration and how the two have such a close relationship!
Have a nice weekend.
