Housekeeping: We are now starting on the human body. The first unit covers the circulatory, respiratory and nervous systems and it will take approximately three weeks to cover this unit. You will have two "textbooks" to work with and you are responsible for your books. Please do not lose them.
You will have a quiz over the circulatory and respiratory system sometime within the next ten days, so please keep up with your work. Click HERE for Missions. Good morning! I'm Dr. Holt and welcome to my Mad!Lab! You will use this website both in class and outside of class. All lessons are included here with any and most supplemental material for your convenience. Please bookmark this website; specifically your homepage.
We will spend this week getting to know the many facets of science learning. This will be a review for some of you, but it is important that you have the fundamentals in place before we start with the units. Again, welcome! We're going to have a great year!! CLICK HERE FOR MISSIONS  Housekeeping: We are now investigating solution chemistry. In this unit, you will complete a solutions lab and a research project over food-borne illnesses. This is a relatively short unit in terms of content, but the lab and research paper will take some time. I expect for us to complete the content before March 4, 2019.
Click HERE for Missions. Housekeeping: Happy New Year! Welcome back! I hope everybody had a bomb! winter break. I know I did.
So we'll begin 2019 with a new unit: biochemistry. We'll spend at least three weeks on it and there's a big lab associated with this unit that we'll do the third week. Go HERE for Missions. You will spend about 15-20 minutes completing a course evaluation for this semester. You're given 5 prompts. Please answer the prompts into a word document and print it out. This is anonymous, so please do not write your name on the document. Please use Times New Roman font size 12. Place the anonymous document into my inbox.
Thanks so much for your participation. Please comment on the following: 1. The content. How well do you understand the material being covered this semester? Which unit was your favorite and which unit did you not like? Please explain why and why not. 2. The instructor. Please evaluate Dr. Holt's instructional skill. What do I do that you like and appreciate, and what do I do that you wish I would improve upon or stop altogether. Please elaborate. Don't worry about hurting my feelings; please speak your mind. Remember this is anonymous. Just be respectful. 3. The assignments. Which assignment types do you like and which ones do you not like? How can I improve in this area? 4. Your progress. How well do you think you have learned the material? What can Dr. Holt change, adjust, modify, or get rid of that you think will improve how well you learn the content? 5. Free Thought: Please discuss anything about this course (so far) that you like or do not like that was not covered in the previous prompts. Housekeeping: We are almost finished with the human body! We have two more systems to cover: Immunity & Reproduction. After we finish these, you will have to design a roller coaster based on one of the body systems This is your semester final exam. You will have three full weeks to design and construct your roller coaster. The coaster is due December 17, 2018.
Click HERE for Missions. We are now working on the third Human Body cluster: Digestive, Excretory & Endocrine. There is one more cluster after this one. Your final exam will be the construction of an amusement park ride based on a particular body system. So make sure you're keeping up with the notes, readings and videos. I expect for us to be completely done with the body systems by the end of November at the earliest. You should start thinking about who you want to work with (you guys will work in pairs). As far as selection of a body system...you guys will pull from a hat.
Your test date over cluster 3 should be either November 12 or 13; you choose. Click HERE for Missions. Today you will design a lab for the skeletal and muscular systems. It does not mean that we will actually do the lab. This is a measure of how well you can design a lab.
Your design should include the following: 1. Brief introduction 2. Purpose 3. Research Question 4. Hypothesis 5. IV/DV/Controls (if needed) 6. Materials List 7. Step-by-step procedure 8. Kind of data to be collected. Do some online research to help you find some possible lab activities for the skeletal and muscular systems. You have one hour to research and submit your design lab to Managebac. Please make sure that it is 1.5 spacing, Times New Roman size 12 font. |
