New Tables!!!!!

First day back from the long weekend, its a Monday. first thing i see when i walk into my first period bio class, BOOM! new tables. these tables allow us to ask for help from our peers sitting next to us and give me more room to put my junk on t he desk. after i got over the fact that these new table, alt though a little to short for my liking, are awesome, we learned about taxonomy. when i first heard this word the first this i thought of was animals that are stuffed so they can be kept in some room. i quickly learned that this is the exact opposite. taxonomy is the study of classifying animals we learned about the different classifications of animals and which level is which in the study of taxonomy. this carried over into the next day. we continued our notes on taxonomy and did some hands on things with this by classifying different types of aliens. we then were assigned the task of using a chart to find out what species sharks where based on their physical appearance . this was actually an interesting assignment being able to use one chart to find out their species of many different animals.o ya, last but not least we learned about some strange animals over the past two days. we learned about a slime eel that has survived based on the fact that it uses its slime to get away and the star nose mole that to only is the worlds fastest eater but the fact that is relies on is amazing nose to find food. so aside from the fact we have these new awesome tables we learned some pretty interesting stuff too.

muddiest of points

if you get down to one atom left in a half life problem do you split that into another half life or do you just get rid of it?

Boobies the bird!

If you were to hear the question "how many boobies are getting laid"out of context, you might wonder if that is appropriate for a freshman bio class. what was actually being said was how many eggs of the species of birds called boobies (right) were being laid. we have over the last few days been talking about evolution. when evolution comes up, one of the names that comes soon after is Charles Darwin. we have been disusing the evolution that takes place on the islands he visited. we spent some time on birds and how they adapt and what there adaptations are for the birds on the island. we have been talking about why boobies choose to push there sibling out of the nest and leave it to die. we concluded that it was because its harder for the mommy booby to feed 2 chicks insead of just one . this is why the mother of the booby lets this happen. we then talked about the different beaks on birds and how they are specialized with what food they eat. we took a hands on approach with this by taking different tools such as a spoon or pliers to retrieve and open different types of food. we ended up concluding class with this lab.

muddiest point

i do not get what we need to learn about birth control and what about it will be on the test if anything.

point of mud

my muddiest point is i get the phenotype and the genotype mixed up. is there any thing anyone has found out that helps you remember which is which.

muddy pointttttttttttttttttttttt

i dont get when a virus is destroyed where does it go and what takes it there

stuck in the mud

I feel pretty good about this section but the one thing i don't understand is if each individual cell has a different pace at which it reproduces or if the same type of cells all reproduce at the same rate

CELLS CELLS CELLS

De hello everyone, its Lucas,

yesterday in class we learned about cells and their parts. More specifically we learned how each thing was used in the cell. we learned the difference between plant and animal cells also.one of the main differences plant cells have a wall on top of the cell membrane as with animals , they only have a cell membrane. the reason they have this wall is because it is used in the reproductive process that is much different from the animal cells reproductive process. we also took a quiz. this quiz had a very interesting way of asking what each cell did. the quiz had you correlate between a real life situation, such as a cake shop, and how a cell's inter workings do specific things that help the cell achieve a specific task. each type of plant or animal cell has a specific role that it does to help the organism that it makes up survive.

so goodbye everyone (^.^)

The next scribe is HENDERSON! (MikeH)

VOCAB HELP!!

Hello everyone,

I need help with memorizing the vocab for testing, I have a hard time recalling words when it comes to test day even when I have studied and think I know them. is there any strategy that anyone has found that helps you with the vocab on tests.

thanks in advance,
