Digestive System Tshirts

Check out the pictures of us working on Digestive System T shirts in class today.

I hear we are not the only class wearing class Tshirts to Playland!  Actually!  Ask the Chem 12 students  what their plan is...

Digestive System Resources

National Geographic webpage - Digestive System

Another good webpage - Digestion

Both of the links are good for finding the functions of the digestive system organs for your study notes / function chart.

Playland Info

The permission form is ready to go - and I will link the assignment if you are interested in having a look before we go.

Biology 12 Playland Assignment

Check my wiki for the uploaded permission form.  Get it signed and returned!
But how do I find it?

School website - Staff - K phillips - ta da!

Don't worry.  I will also photocopy and hand out in class.  Easy peasy.

Enzymes

The topic for today's class is enzymes - we are going to recall the information that we already know about enzymes (being proteins) and then learn from there. 

Here are some images that are a good starting point for learning about enzymes:

Can you act this out today?  Sure you can!!!

This is trickier but we can do it.

Playland Field Trip

So it looks like we are confirmed for our field trip to Playland on Thursday, May 3.
We are in need of PARENT drivers - it will be the entire day (leaving the school at 8:30 and arriving back at school by 3pm).  You will need to miss your block 2 class to attend - making early arrangements with that teacher is important!
The cost for entry to Playland is $17.  It is a special event and only open to high school students that day.
There is a field trip package that you will be responsible for completing on this field trip - information about heart rate & blood pressure (circulatory system) and autonomic nervous system responses to different rides at Playland.  Fun!
Ask your parents about driving (they can get into Playland for free as a supervisor if they want to stay and help out) and I will make a permission form with all the information to take home and get signed soon.
Woohoo!
