Physical Science Refresher
(& some more Earth Science talk about Plate Tectonics)
This week is our FINAL week for OGT Prep/Review! Where did the time go?! I'm going to go over q few major topics that WILL appear on the Science OGT. In addition to a brief Plate Tectonics Review, we will be visiting the world of Physical Science & reviewing the main ideas & vocabulary that relate to Evolution. Bear with me...we WILL get through this together!
Let's get started by watching the You-Tube Video included below which discusses Plate Tectonics & relates that topic to Physics (Physical Science). This is a "win - win" as we can do double duty & review TWO topics at the SAME time! There are a couple Handouts to go along with this weeks abundance of material. You can find the links right here too!

Biology Review/Refresher
Genetics!
In addition to learning about cells, we are going to review the basics of Genetics! This is SUPER important because Genetics studies what makes us who we are! The traits we have (eye color, hair color, height, weight) are determined by our "Genetic Code", or "Instructions" which lie in the DNA within the cells of our bodies. Below you will find the handout which goes along with our lesson, and some quick videos to refresh your memory about Genetics! Let's get to work...

Biology Review/Refresher
Introduction to Cells!
In class this week we have begun to explore & refresh our memory about The Cell Theory and compared Prokaryotic Organisms to Eukaryotic Organisms. We also looked at the Cell Models that are on my desk. We explored the Organelles that are unique to Plant & Animal Cells, and learned more about what each organelle does (it's function) to keep cells alive. Here are pictures of a Prokaryotic Cell/Organism (an example: Bacteria) as well as a Eukaryotic Cell which makes up an organism (examples: Humans, Plants & other animals). . .
The Handouts that will prove VERY helpful are included here. While I gave these out during class, if you were absent, or don't have your folders, you can download these items anytime you need them! Yep. You have an incredibly thoughtful Science Teacher (lol)!

CHEMISTRY is FUN!
Review/Overview:
Introduction to Chemistry!
During these weeks, we have visited the World of Chemistry for a thorough review of the basic topics.
We also refreshed our memory about the Periodic Table of the Elements, and how to use that information to learn about the composition of each element (Sub-Atomic Particles, Atomic Number - and what it means, Atomic Mass/Weight - and what it means, etc.).
Let's review Elements ~
Elements are a part of our every day lives in more ways than you probably realize. Literally, they are the basis for EVERYTHING! To learn & understand the world in which we live, we must discuss elements, what they are made of, and how elements interact to form the world we all share. It's pretty cool, actually! Each element is made of 3 Sub-Atomic Particles ~
1. PROTONS - found in core of each element; have a POSITIVE (+) charge
2. NEUTRONS - found in core of each element with Protons; have a NEUTRAL (=) charge
3. ELECTRONS - found circulating around the core of each element; have a NEGATIVE (-) charge
Elements interact (or bond) to make compounds. An example of a compound that we use every day: SALT! Salt is made when a molecule of Sodium (+ charge) BONDS with a molecule of Chloride (- charge; comes from element Chlorine). The ELECTRONS play a VERY important role in Chemical Bonding. Pretty nifty, huh?!
Please check out the Video, Handouts & Power - Point Presentation included below for information on the Periodic Table of the Elements ~

***Please remember to use ALL of the resources available to you. Refer to the handout that you were provided to help you learn & refresh your memory as you go through your Science coursework. Nice Science teachers (like Ms. Anthony:) give handouts to help you learn, study & recall important information. You should use these awesome resources because they are VERY HELPFUL!
