Hello students and Parents!!! Make sure to check emails daily and please email any questions or concerns you may have. My contact information is above. I look forward to a great, fun year!
If you miss or need any refresher, please look below. Also check clever for some activities if you are out or need a refresher. Thanks guys let's have a great week.
Science- This week we will be reviewing the periodic table and atomic structure. This week starts TCAP - Lots of vocabulary words so if you miss some make sure they go in your journal. Key Vocabulary and Review Videos are below. If you have any concerns, please email me. Thank you!
Genotype- describes an organism's complete set of alleles.
Probability- the likelihood of something happening.
Dominant- trait that produces a lot of protein and overshadows recessive traits represented with a capitol letter.
Recessive- trait that produces a small amount of protein, Represented by a lower-case letter. Covered up by dominate traits
Homozygous- both alleles are the same- homozygous dominant or recessive.
Heterozygous- a hybrid each allele is different one capitol and one lower case
Sperm- Male sex cell
Egg- Female sex cell
Fertilization- combining egg and sperm to create a cell with a full set of chromosomes.
Diploid- containing a FULL (di=2) set of chromosomes= produced by Mitosis makes somatic (body) cells
Haploid- Containing a HALF set of chromosomes= Produced by Meiosis
Homologous Chromosomes- Chromosomes with similar genes ex: hair color, eye color
Alleles- variation of a trait (one side of the chromosome)
Proteins- control the characteristics of an organism.
**Understand that All of your characteristics and body processes are controlled by a protein. **
Trait- characteristics passed down to offspring from parents, expressed by proteins.
Variation- change or differences in a trait
DNA- Genetic information to make an organism the directions/blueprint “A” goes with “T”. and “C” goes with “G”
Chromosome- Organized DNA that looks like an “x”
Asexual Reproduction- cell production involving one parent cell to create an exact copy (clone) process known as Mitosis.
Sexual reproduction- cell production involving 2 different parent cells to create offspring with genetic variety and diversity. Process known as Meiosis.
Multicellular- Organisms made of more than one cell.
Abiotic- nonliving
Biotic-Living
Active Transport- the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from low concentration to a region of higher concentration (Needs energy)
Semi-permeable - allows certain substances to pass through but not others ex: Cell membrane.
Cytoplasm- gel-like fluid that fills up a cell.
Nucleus-contains the organized DNA. The center of the cell the nucleus controls activities of the cell. The brain of a cell.
Mitochondria- energy produces energy for the cell, the powerhouse of a cell.
Organelle-The organs of a cell. What makes up a cell. Performs different jobs for the cell. EX: Cell Membrane
Cell Membrane- organelle that let certain things enter and exit a cell.
Cell- the basic building blocks of life
Tissue- a group of cells that have similar structure and that function.
Organ- a group of tissues that perform a specific function.
Organ System-groups of organs that work together to do a job for the body.
Organism-a living thing made up of one or more cells and able to carry on the activities of life.
Reactants- what we start with in a chemical Reaction.
Product- what we end with in a chemical reaction.
Atoms: Building blocks of matter-made of protons, neutrons and electrons.
Molecules: two or more atoms joined together chemically (touching)
Elemental Molecule: molecule with the same atoms(same)
Compound Molecule: molecule with different atoms (different)
Monoatomic Elements- elements that are stable as single atoms. Elements composed of only 1 atom (mono=1)
Proton: Particle in an atom with a Positive charge
Neutron- No charge hold protons together.
Electron- Equals protons particle in an atom with a negative charge
Nucleus- center of an atom contains the protons and neutrons.
a system that can freely exchange matter and energy with its surroundings.
Examples: River, lake, coffee cup. A container without a lid that is open to the environment
system that doesn’t allow matter from outside environments to enter its space.
Pure Substance: Made of one type of molecule that is chemically combined(connected). CANNOT be separated physically.
Freezing Point: temperature(energy) change from liquid to solid. Decrease energy
Evaporation: Temperature(energy) Change from liquid to gas. Increase energy
Condensation: Temperature(energy)change from a gas to a liquid. Decrease energy
Matter- anything that has mass and takes up space
Mass- the amount of matter in a substance
States of matter- Solid, Liquid, Gas
Kinetic Energy- energy in motion
Potential Energy- stored energy at rest
Liquid- fluid takes the shape of its container. Particles flow over each other. Definite volume but no fixed shape.
Gas- has no definite shape or definite volume. Has the most energy and fills the area of its container. Particles move all around
Forensics
"If I were You" Episode power Point located below.
Remember to record as much evidence as you can. After video answer the following:
1. Which pieces of evidence were most important? Why?
2. What was the outcome of the case?
