Seventh graders started the week with some work on polishing their Fantasy Island Papers. In these papers, students demonstrated their understanding of cellular processes and how photosynthesis and cellular respiration work in sync to create ATP (energy).
On Wednesday, students completed a quiz on Chapter 4 Section 1 and 2. Now we have moved on to explore the cell cycle, the last portion of the unit. Students will spend some time with computer simulations to understand how the cell cycle looks and functions. Next week students will be able to visualize this process by viewing onion root cells under the microscopes. While completing the observation lab, 7th graders will be learning the details regarding each stage of the cell cycle. This lab will be finished up once we return from Thanksgiving Break.
