HOMEWORK
Assigned: Monday, January 4
Due: Tuesday, January 5
You will be given a word search or crossword made by another student. You
will get the same type of puzzle as the kind you made. If you did a word
search, you should write out the definitions of 10 of the vocabulary words
(try to pick ones that relate to membrane transport since that's what the quiz
is about on Wednesday. For Wednesday's quiz, go over your workbook, notebook
and review worksheet.

MAKEUP HOMEWORK:
You may make up 80% of points lost to missing homework by doing any of the
following activities:
1) Find a current event (in last few months) that relates to topics we have
discussed in life science this year. You may use a newspaper, magazine (I
have some in the classroom!) or reputable online source. Highlight the
important ideas in the article and then write a one or two paragraph summary
of the article IN YOUR OWN WORDS! Turn in your highlighted copy of the
article with your summary. (10 pts) Make a short presentation in front of the
class for another 5 points.
2) Compose an acrostic poem that conveys your knowledge and understanding of a
topic we have covered recently in science. Suggestions: osmosis, diffusion,
active transport, cell membrane. (5-20 points depending on length and quality)
Work must be turned in at least a full week before the progress report
deadline to guarantee it is taken into account in that grade.

Here are two of the sites I went to in class today, if you want to explore
further. Remember, the blind spot is caused by having a place in the retina
where there are no detecting cells (where the optic nerve leaves the eye).
The illusions are caused by the way your brain processes the information from
the eye.

ANSWERS TO CHAPTER 1 REVIEW Pages 29-30
1) c development
2) b qualitative observation
3) d classifying
4) d operational definition
5) d (breaking test tube)
6) study of living things
7) enables organisms to survive
8) it is using numbers to count the food
9) any evidence gathered through observation
10) it is the sharing of ideas/data
----------
11) observing, inferring, predicting, classifying, making models
12) using senses to collect information
13) easy way to show data (complex)
14) living organisms follow rules of universe-no super powers!
15) hypothesis=educated guess; need to be able to gather evidence to support
or reject
16) so that you know what factor is responsible for the changes you see
17) read/develop procedure, think about safety, ask questions if you don't
understand
18) opposable thumb lets you pick up things; fingers bend wrist rotates

collect data expressed as numbers (from counting or measuring)

fell in

Answer questions at the end of the sections (pages 12 & 17).

Answers to FAQs from students today:
May I put new words on flash cards instead? Yes!
May I do my homework on the computer? Yes, but print it out and tape it into
your notebook after it is stamped.
What if I know ALL the words in the reading? Do I have to write definitions?
Answer: If you know them all and are comfortable having NOTHING to study them
from later, don't write any down. Use your judgment!
Do we have to do the first question on page 17 that refers to an outline we
didn't make? No.

Practice reading the scales on a triple beam balance by going to the online
site for our balances. Click on "Practice Weighing" and do at least 10
trials. The web site wants you to estimate to the hundredths place...try it,
but I only expect you to be able to read the tenths. In your science notebook,
make a small table that is three columns wide and 10 rows (lines) long. Write
the numbers 1-10 in the left hand column; write down your 10 readings in the
middle column; write down the answer from the web site in the right
column...as was demonstrated in class. The link is in the links section of my
web site.
