This week students completed their unit on the cell processes. Early in the week, the students focused their learning on Mitosis and Cell Division to determine and understand how many chromosome would be in each of the daughter cells. Students finished a Mitosis Lab on Monday which carried right into a review for the test. The Cell Process Test was held on Thursday. On Friday, we extending the unit just a bit by learning about what happens when there is not a lot of apoptosis ( cell death) and too much mitosis. The students learned about cancer, how this disease is caused and what types of treatments can be used.
Just next week Lakeview Junior High will be partaking in a fantastic fundraiser for cancer called Cancer Smashers. I was very pleased with the inquiry that the students brought to the classroom today.
Have a nice weekend.
