Seventh graders have had a very exciting week. Once coming back from a break on Monday, students worked on quest corrections. For those students who wanted to boost their grade, they were able to correct their quest using notes or their book. This was also a little review of our past unit, The Cell.
We quickly got right into our new chapter of Cell Processes. Students have identified various ways that molecules transport through a cell membrane and how that can be beneficial to a cell.
Starting on Wednesday students started to design their own lab in groups. I gave them materials (our fake cell is a gummy bear) and told them that the lab had to do with osmosis. I was very impressed with the various types of labs that students came up with. Starting Friday students initiated the actual lab that they worked very hard to design. On Monday students will be viewing their own results to complete the lab.
I know students are very eager to see the outcome of their labs!
