- Watched segments of Cancer Warrior video
- Played cancer review game

Homework:
1. Chapter 3 Review due
2. Come with 6 questions on the topic you taught (2-easy, 2-medium, 2- challenging)
NOTE: Questions should be in simple not complex form, no multiple choice or fill in the blank style questions.

The Cell Cycle

Do Now:
List 2 differences between active and passive transport
List and describe 3 types of active transport

Today in class we:
- Heard presentation on cell cycle
- Worked on cell cycle activity

Homework:
Chapter 3 review due Monday at review session
Next week Wednesday- Test

Active Transport

Do Now:
Define, diagram and label the following concepts: hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic
Describe the difference between diffusion and osmosis.
What is meant by a concentration gradient, and how do molecules of diffusion move in respect to this gradient?

Today in class we:
Heard presentation on active transport
Colored active transport worksheet
Played quiz bowl game regarding active transport

Homework: due Monday, 10/29
- Chapter 3 Review worksheets

Cell Nucleus and Cytoplasm

Do Now:
Draw a cell from memory, include all organelles, label, and list the structure and function of each

Today in class we:
Discussed the cell nucleus: nuclear envelope, chromosomes, nucleolus
Discussed cytoplasm: microfilaments, actin, microtubules, tubulin, centrosomes, centrioles, cilia, flagella

Took quiz on cell membrane, and organelles and structures of the cell

Organelles of the Cell Presentation

Today in class we heard from Eric and Lynsey on the organelles of the cell and played a quiz bowl review game.

The Dynamic Life of the Cell

Today in class we:
Worked in designated groups on Cell Project

Reminder: Your lesson work must be turned in by the end of the class before you are scheduled to present. Failure to do so will result in loss of presentation opportunity and points

Homework:
Read Chpt 3: section 1 on the Plasma membrane

UPCOMING: As of October 8th, the schedule for A days will run 1,2,4,3. Be prepared for that change next Monday.
