Examining Planaria

Colour the plant and animal cell

Colour code the diagram of the plant and animal cell located in the wooden shelf to the right of the teacher's small desk.

Make your own analogy of the cell as a one page diagram....The cell is like a...

Draw a picture in pen, in colour 10 marks
your analogy is effective and it works well 10 marks
Your analogy includes a paragraph 5 marks

total 25 marks

Work on the microscope calculation questions on this sheet here on your own piece of paper


Next, create a TRIP PLAN FOR THE TRIUMF  TRIP during the week of double blocking

GET INTO A GROUP OF 2, or 3 or 4 and appoint a group leader.  On a piece of paper, write your trip plan

1.  What is the date of the TRIUMF TRIP?  it will be 10am if morning and 2pm in the afternoon.  You must arrive 15 minutes before the tour.
2.  What are the names of the group members and their cell numbers?
3.   Who is the group leader?
4.  Google tours of TRIUMF and tell me about safetey precautions for your group
5.  Which is the BEST UBC Bus to take and what are the instructions for how to get to UBC by bus to get to TRIUMF?  Draw a map and write clear instructions on how to get there
6.  What do you think you might learn?
7.  Check out TRIUMF's website.  Find and describe 5 things they do there.

trip plan is worth 10 marks and each person must write their own.

Microscope calculations

Measure the diameter of the field of view of the low view of the microscope.
Write it down in mm.  You can convert this to microns by x1000

Now calculate the diametre of the field of view.



The formula we use:

dFOV 2    =      dFOV 1    x    magnification of 1
                         ___________________________
                                          magnification of 2

or

dFOV medium =   dFOVlow   x low magnification
                              _________________________
                                           magnification of medium


dFOV high =  dFOVlow   x low magnification
                       _________________________
                                 magnification of high

Lab 2 :  demonstrate that you can estimate the size of an object.

Draw any object under low, medium and high and indicate the diametre of the field of view and also the length of something under the microscope.

VSB Sustainability Conference artist training

Do you Doodle in Class? Care about Sustainability? The VSB Sustainability Conference wants you!

Do you doodle in class, during meetings? Can't stop drawing if you tried?  We have once again been requested to do youth artist training for youth to draw for other youth at the VSB Sustainability Conference! on Feb 19, 2018. We need to find at least 20 youth artists to draw for their peers.

The first of two co-design youth artist training sessions will take place on  

JAN 31

FEB 6

FEB 13

at Gladstone Secondary School in the staff room 4-6pm

4105 Gladstone Street

We will also warm up on the morning of the conference so you'll be ready to draw for the planning session!  APPLY TO BE AN ARTIST HERE.

What you will learn:

• Fast visual storytelling techniques that can be used for planning
• Sketching warm ups
• Fundamentals of co-design drawing
• How to draw fearlessly in front of peers

We will take you step by step to draw for the conference!
Ready, set, DRAW!

How Do You Know Something is Alive?

1.  Find 5 things that are alive, 5 things that are dead  and 5 things that are nonliving
2.  Photograph these things and make a table with the objects as your rows and with these THREE columns.  WRITE A DRAFT in class but hand this in as a document.  Work in pairs or threes

NAME OF
OBJECT    CHARACTERISTICS        EVIDENCE IT IS ALIVE/NOT ALIVE/NONLIVING

FYI we found an unusual bug. This website could be helpful in identifying it!
