Melissa Schneider, Feb. 29/08, 3/3

AHA, I get to do a blog post on Leap Day.
Well, sort of, since it's actually March 1st . . . darn. Why did I have to forget about the blog yesterday?

What We Did Today (yesterday):

  1. Wrote the Unit 1 Test. (food chains/webs, trophic levels, energy transfer; N, P & C cycles, etc.)
  2. Marked the Unit 1 Test.
  3. Was assigned Are You Ready? questions on page 176 (review for quiz on Monday), and to read pages 207-209 in textbook.
  4. Was reminded that Bottle Biosphere project is due on Monday. (Mark your own project before handing it in!)

Thoughts & Opinions:

  • The test was "easy peasy", which meant that Mr. C taught the right stuff!
  • Err, we didn't learn anything new, so I don't know what else to say. . .

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND:

A random piece of Bio information for you all . . .

This site: http://www.geocities.com/ultrastupidneal/Knowledge-Biology-Fact.html says that at 200 degrees Celsius, sucrose will melt into caramel! I know, WOW, right?


A very complicated equation of caramel. kthxbai.

Melissa,
I know it can be sort of difficult to give "thoughts on the material" when we do a test on that day. I mentioned that what I'd like to see is thoughts about the material covered on the test. Since this test was about Energy and Matter Exchange in the Biosphere, that should give you a lot of stuff to chew on. Note: we're not seeking thoughts/opinions on the test itself (while that is certainly valuable info to me - I can't mark you on it with clear conscience).
Please ensure you adjust for next time (or come see me for clarification).
2/3
Mr. C
