From the Structures To the Functions

Today in class we first discussed what we should do if we needed help in science, brought up by one of the students. Some ways to get help would be to

  1. Ask Mr. Finley
  2. Post questions on discussion board
  3. Post a question on the blog
  4. Text or email Mr. Finley
  5. Text or call your friends with the question
  6. LAST OPTION: Ask Mr. Finley for a tutor that could tutor you

Once we discussed the ways to possibly get help, we started to move on. We're moving on to functions of the cell parts. We used the 2 original simulations to get our answers

We were trying to find the functions of the:

  • Cell Wall
  • Cell Membrane
  • Ribosomes
  • Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
  • Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
  • Mitochondria
  • Nucleus
  • Vacuole
  • Cytoplasm
  • Chloroplasts
  • Lysosomes
  • Golgi Apparatus

Mr. Finley made it very clear to PUT THE DEFINITIONS IN OUR OWN WORDS. Soon after we found all the definitions and put them in our own words we had to go. If we didn't find all the definitions we had to do them for homework.

We are also having a test on Tuesday on the cells. The study guide for the test is posted on the Cell Reproduction page. (Link: http://http//www.npsd.k12.nj.us/20222069133223760/blank/browse.asp?A=383&BMDRN=2000&BCOB=0&C=59029) It would be awesome if someone did an eather pad for the test like the one Claudia made last time. Here's a link to the site to make an eather pad: http://www.eatherpad.com/

We also discussed Mr.Finley's birthday, he said it was horrible. His printer wouldn't work. Hopefully it works today. But anyway, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MR. FINLEY!!! :)

    Elizabeth thank you for listing the parts of the cell I new I forgot one {LYSOME} and this helped! :)

    Claudia: Thank you for making the etherpad for the test! I find myself with the same problem sometimes. If Mr. Finley doesn't answer you text here are a few suggestions:
    1. If you can google it
    2. ask your parents (this doesn't always work)
    3. Just try you best and talk to Mr. Finley about it in class or homeroom
    4. If Mr. Finley is available go in before school
    HOPE THIS HELPS :)

    I'm still confused on what the ribosomes are.

    The ribosomes cary the protiens throught the cell giving the parts the energy they need.
