Hello seventh graders!
Due to M.A.P examinations on Friday, we didn't do much in class. During class we watched a few videos and we just relaxed and had fun because everyone came at different times. We watched our K'nex video once again and then we watched other interesting and fun movies about: the volcano erruption, the new satellite launched and the enormous boulder in Norway! We also had to show Ms. D that we finished highlighting the packet that had given to us on Thursday. We also got reminded about our next project! It is called: Cell Project and it is due Thursday May 13th. The directions are on Moodle and are under May 10-16th.

At the beginning of Tuesday's class we talked about the Cell project and Ms. D made sure that we understood everything. Then we got back our Superhero's that were outside on the bulletin board. We then went over all the different parts of Animal and Plant cells once again and then we colored in Plant and Animal cells and we learned which parts are which! After that activity we wrote some more notes in our notebooks and Kat, Viktor and Noam took notes on Google Docs. The links to each of them are:

I couldn't put up Noam's notes because I wasn't invited to her notes yet.
Today's notes were about Microscopes. We learned what microscopes are, and they are instruments that make small objects look bigger! We then wrote down:
Simple Microscope:
-only one lens is used
Compoung Microscope:
-uses more than one lens
-magnifies more!
Electron microscope:
-usess electrons
-amazing image - Resolution - sharpness or clearness and clarity of image

Later on, instead of writing and copying from the board, we were passed out a packet about microscopes. This packet is also on Moodle. It is under the same category as the directions to the Cell Project!
All in all, in these two classes we covered more about parts of cells and we learned about microscopes as well! These two concepts that we learned more about relate to everyday life because first of all, cells are parts of human beings and we are human beings all our life! Everything we see that is alive has cells in it! Microscopes relate to everyday life because with them we discovered many new ideas and we will continue to in the future!!!
The next scribe is.... CiPrIaN!!!! :=)
