"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 #3: Chapter 2 Tour: "Atoms and Molecules" 2.1 Nature of Matter & 2.2 Water |
Read Chapter 2 (pages 34-53) before coming to seminar. Let's Consider Life. The seminar will beging with a review of The Chemistry of Life show. After reading 2.1 Nature of Matter & 2.2 Water students will be ready for biochemistry. We will begin this week by looking at a few Atom Notes. Each student will practice Finding The Parts of an Atom using the Composition and Reactions of Matter worksheet. After finding the parts, students will learn how to Diagram an Atom and Combining Elements leading to ionic and covalent bonds. The seminar will end with This seminar looks at some of the properties of water. A lesson on solutions and suspensions will be followed by Acids and Bases including the pH scale. Check out the Chapter 2 Flash Card Quiz. Both the Chapter 2 Review and the Composition and Rxs of Matter worksheet and the Chapter 2 Test need to be completed by Friday. |
