To start the year in science, we are first getting to know each other then getting to know how to safely do science in our classroom. As soon as we are acquainted with our safe environment, we are going practice the working as scientists by reviewing the scientific method, and then begin our first unit of study- cell biology.

 

In this study of cell biology, we will review the characteristics of life and figure out how unicellular organisms are able to fulfill these characteristics. Observing protists with microscopes will help us gain valuable insight into unicellular organisms. After studying unicellular organisms, we will observe the cells of multicellular organisms to compare the plant cells and animal cells. This will lead us to a study of the human body. 

 

Stay tuned for more information including project details and deadlines!
