LoganAskWhy.com is maintained by jonathan logan a science teacher at Paris Gibson Ed Center located in Great Falls, Montana. Students/Parents/Staff can use this site to check student grades and unit progress, to learn the procedures/methods for earning science units and to view my weekly seminar schedule with Archived Lesson Plans. The Courses Overview page describes the course material and the chapters covered. The Textbook (mp3 format) is available to download and listen to. Here is the link for the entire Biology Textbook online. This site also includes notes/reviews/handouts, class images, and class videos. Follow me on Twitter/loganaskwhy and view videos on my loganaskwhy YouTube Channel. Please e-mail me if you would like to receive cell phone text messages (LoganAlerts) to stay up to date with all the happenings in loganscience.
Getting information is easier with the Web Links on the right. Use the News/Weather/Sports link to check the headlines, the scores and the local weather. Search Google or Bing and stay connected with your people using the facebook, Twitter, and Hotmail links.
Those interested in science, especially astronomy, can check for local star party information, keep updated on planets/moon/stars/satellites, check Space Station over Great Falls times and dates, watch for live northern lights and monitor space weather from the sun.
"Carl Sagan has been a huge influence in my life. Getting students to always wonder why is a large part of my classroom philosophy. It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness! Much of today's public beliefs are based in psuedoscience...so question everything!"

| BIOLOGY I Seminar #8: Chapter 8 "Photosynthesis Tour" and "ATP Activity" |
Read Chapter 8 (pages 200-214) before coming to seminar. We will look at the role energy plays in living organisms and the relationship between autotrophs and heterotrophs. We will look at the big picture of how photosynthesis and respiration work together to enable living things to have energy. A principal molecule that cells use to store and release energy is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Photosynthesis is a series of reactions that plants use to convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen. Photosynthesis is broken into the light reactions and the Calvin Cycle. The students will write the story of photosynthesis (the structures, the processes and the materials into/out of the reactions). I have included a great analogy image, a light reaction video and a Calvin cycle video. The Chapter 8 Review, Green Plant Chromatography Lab, ATP Activity and test should be completed by the end of this week. Check out the BozemanBiology Podcasts on Photosynthesis and Respiration. Spend some time watching the videos on my YouTube Photosynthisis Playlist. Practice the Chapter 8 Photosynthesis Flashcard Review. |

| BIOLOGY III Seminar #8: Chapter 21 Tour "Fungi" Part I |
Read Chapter 21 (pages 526-542) before coming to seminar. Chapter 21 introduces students to the Fungi Kingdom. There are four phyla of fungi covered in this chapter. Phylum Zygomycota (mold), the Phylum Ascomycota (sac fungi), the Phylum Basidiomycota (club fungi) and the Phylum Deuteromycota (imperfect fungi). Please review the Fungi Kingdom Notes PowerPoint. Check out the Fungi Webnotes if you do not have PowerPoint. It will be important to know the structure of fungi, and how fungi reproduce. Please check out the World of Fungi video, WOW! Fungus Plant Growth video, Mushroom Time Lapse video, Insect With Fungus video. The Chapter 21 Review, The Fungi Worksheet, The Reproduction in Fungi Lab, and the Chapter 21 Test @70% should be completed this week. |
