Anatomy Update - Teaching Project

The teaching project is due on TUESDAY rather than at the end of this week ... good luck!  :)

Life Science 8/26-8/30

Monday
Begin discussing life properties.  Students outside to find four objects (two living, two non-living). Comparative activity in class and discussion.

Tuesday
Watch the "Life Properties" video and answer the questions.  Submit the questions to Mr. Hadachek via Edmodo.  Questions due THURSDAY.  But you should be able to finish them during class time today!

Wednesday
Discuss energy flow and photosynthesis.  Requirements for life and how photosynthesis helps us. Discuss specific life forms that undergo this process.

Thursday
E Mail questions due; watch review video over photosynthesis.  Answer the questions on the video and submit via Edmodo.  Begin discussing model construction of food/energy re-arrangement.

Friday
Discuss models for rearrangement of food molecules.  Begin construction of these models.

Field Biology 8/26-8/30

Monday
Capture/recapture with Lincoln-Peterson Diversity Index

Tuesday - Friday
Diversity study in experimental plots

Anatomy 8/26-8/30

Monday
Review divisions of A & P.   Discuss feedback mechanisms.  Positive vs. negative feedback and examples.

Tuesday
Review feedback.  Students will construct video teaching tutorials over their choice of feedback mechanisms or divisions of A & P.  Due Friday 8/30 by 4pm.

Wednesday
Video teaching project continued

Thursday
Wrap up video teaching project, discuss and review important concepts regarding feedback and A&P divisions

Friday
Discuss directional terms.

Zoology 8/26-8/30

Monday
Discuss insect success and reasons behind it.  Discuss insect orders and representative insects in each order.  Collect insects outside.

Tuesday
Live insect lab; view insects under dissection microscopes.  Answer the questions provided via E Mail (due Thurs, 8/29)

Wednesday
Grasshopper dissection day 1:  External anatomy

Thursday
Grasshopper dissection day 2:  Internal anatomy

Friday
Grasshopper dissection day 3:  Review all anatomy.  Use dissection scopes and investigate.  Discuss practical and what will be covered on it.  Checkoffs next week!!

Biology 8/26-8/30

Monday
Introduction to LIFE!  What is life?  What is NOT life??  We will investigate these questions and cover the specifics.  From there, we transition into photosynthesis and the importance of plants in our life.

Tuesday
Watch the video note set over life properties and E Mail the answers to the questions to jhadachek@usd107.org  by Wednesday 4pm.

Wednesday
Discuss photosynthesis.  Explain how the process works and how it relates to your life.

Prepare for the photosynthesis model.  Specifics will be given in class.  Life properties questions due via E Mail by 4pm today.  Review photosynthesis.

Thursday
Work on photosynthesis models in class.  Review photosynthesis and reflect.

Friday
Work on photosynthesis models in class.  Models due Wednesday 9/4

All Classes ..... 8/21-8/23

Wednesday
Class introductions, all school assembly

Thursday
Introduction to Mr. Hadachek's classes, expectations, etc.  Join Google Plus.

Friday

Welcome Back!!

Welcome back to another exciting school year!  I am so excited this year to teach science!  My efforts this year will include teaching the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and character building. I really want to incorporate building strong character in my classes, as I feel this is a big part of giving students a world-class education!  Most of the work this semester will be paperless (as much as possible, at least), so I'm excited about that.  And for those without Internet access at home .... no worries, as most of our assignments will be done in class!  So with that being said, let's get this school year started off on the right foot!  Are you ready??  I am!!
