"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 #5:Chapter 7 Tour and "Cell Structure and Function" |
Read Chapter 7 (pages 168-193) before coming to seminar. Students will see the Introduction to Cells video trailer. We will cover a brief history of the cell and a fundamentail concept in biology known as The Cell Theory. It is important to understand the difference between prokaryote and eukaryote cells. Take a virtual interactive tour of the cell. After an information session on the Organelles of the Cell and a tour through the cell, we will review the differences and the similarities between plant cells and animal cells. These differences will be seen during the Cell Variation Lab. Students will have a few hours to make prepared slides of, observe and draw onion, cheek, potato and elodea cells. All slides must be checked and all drawings must be initialed by Mr. Logan in order to get any credit for them. The students will work on the Cell Variation Lab, the Chapter 7 Review, the Comparing Cells Worksheet. The Cell Variation Lab will continue through the next seminar. |
| BIOLOGY I Seminar #6: ""Cell Variation Lab" |
Read Chapter 7 (pages 168-193) before coming to seminar. This seminar will begin with a review of the Organelles of the Cell. Students will see short videos comparing Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote cells and the differences and similarities of plant cells and animal cells. Will practice the Organelles in cells and take a quiz over the names and functions of the organelles. The students will watch short video clips explaining diffusion and Osmosis followed by a video desribing passive and active transport. The Chapter 7 Review, Comparing Cells Worksheet, Cell Variation Lab and the Chapter 7 Test should be completed this week |

| BIOLOGY III Seminar #5: Chapter 20 Tour "Protists" |
Read Chapter 20 (pages 496-519) before coming to seminar. Chapter 20 investigates the Protist Kingdom. There are three groups of protists. The Animal-Like, the Plant-Like and the Fungus-Like protists. Please review the Kingdom Protista Notes PowerPoint. Check out the Protist Webnotes if you do not have PowerPoint. It will be important to know the way protists get energy, the way the they move and how they reproduce(asexually or sexually) . Please check out the protist videos on my Protist Playlist on YouTube and the Protist Video on Bozeman Biology. The Chapter 20 Review, The Arranging Protist Worksheet, The Algae Lab, the Protist Survey Lab and the Chapter 20 Test @70% should be completed Next week. |
