HAPPY SPRING BREAK!! Be safe!

Hey Bi 12 people, check out this video on the corona virus and why soap works, it brings in lots of concepts we've learned this year! Remember to maintain social distancing, and stay safe! There will be more information here once we get it from the district. Miss you guys!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ls8P68lqwWQ

See below for a review diagram of the heart, to get you thinking about some of what we've learned in this chapter

So, we are almost finished Circulation, just a bit more to do, and there will be NO Circulation TEST, tests being tough to administer securely online. The learning opportunities moving forward are to help prepare you for next year. There will be a few assessments for marks, like my old "in-class assignments" but my policy will be that those will be used to IMPROVE marks, not lower them. On Monday each week I will put up a new learning opportunity, and on Thursday, I will send out a google form survey like the one I sent out as first contact, for you to fill out as a homework check.

Lesson #1: April 14-17:

Watch the Crash Course video below that talks about the components of blood, how blood clots, and about blood typing which we briefly discussed before spring break. Then using your textbook if you have it at home, or using the pdf of the scanned pages p. 227-230, and p. 254 for blood typing (that page is NOT needed for doing the worksheet) I've included here, fill in the worksheet. Note that the text pdf's when selected can be zoomed in on and moved around to be able to read them. For the worksheet, you can print it off to fill out, or if you don't have a printer, you can always just write your answers on a separate sheet of paper. DO NOT SUBMIT this assignment, I will do the homework check on the HONOUR SYSTEM on the google form that I will to your deltalearns.ca email on Thursday.

YOU NEED TO USE GOOGLE CHROME AS YOUR BROWSER IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE MATERIALS!!!!!

Use the link above for the ANSWER KEY for Lesson #4

The google form questions are ALWAYS on the work from the lesson you just completed, so for many of you, why are you NOT using what you were just supposed to have learned by reading the textbook and filling in worksheets??? You are giving googled answers that include information NOT part of our course, and which many of you likely DO NOT even understand but put it down anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!

SECOND POINT: some of you on the google form questions confused external respiration with exhaling and internal respiration with inhaling. THEY ARE NOT EQUIVALENT!! Go back and look at your Lesson #4 worksheet's very first definitions!

RESULTS OF LAST WEEK'S SURVEY FOR MS. ROGERS' CLASSES ARE IN!!!!

# of responding students finding the workload TOO HEAVY:

  • Biology 12 -------- 2 out of 48
  • Science 9 ----------6 out of 95
  • Science 8 ----------4 out of 25

AND SO, TO PUT OUT THE FIRE (??), ADMIN HAS ASKED US TO LIGHTEN THE LOAD THIS WEEK!!!!! See below for this week's lesson!

Here is your MIDTERM PAUSE between Lesson #4 and Lesson #5. It's a project that can be done singly or in pairs, and will be due May 31st, so you can work on it gradually. There will be a new lesson out next Monday, May 18 (Victoria Day) and due the following Friday, May 22 at 5 pm as usual. There is a SEPARATE SIGN UP sheet for each block for choosing your topic. If you are working in pairs make sure to put BOTH NAMES down when you sign up for your topic!!

PROJECT LINK:

SIGN UP SHEET FOR BLOCK E: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tHx0wSoUo81LSkgK7zmE6oj3HhAvD-SQlh46k4BxF8o/edit?usp=sharing

SIGN UP SHEET FOR BLOCK F: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B1j-hBNkpsMNL3uycuwqpm6-G8ocssUOsNBO4wqS2as/edit?usp=sharing

AND HERE'S A MARKING RUBRIC that Ms. Veltkamp made, her contribution as I made up the project and she tweaked it. This is not my usual style of marking, but is how we are increasingly supposed to be doing it (good thing I'm retiring!). Take a look for expected standards for your project. The project will be worth 20 marks.

Here's the link to the marking rubric: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oJ4lzn6s4qs_zjqB48nH0tR3_CNybg8G/view?usp=sharing


Results from last week's survey are in: most of you are fine with the online lessons in this course, some of you finding the content tougher without a face to face explanation and ability to ask questions on the spot. That's to be expected I think, that's why there are still bricks and mortar schools in the world! Some of you would prefer that I be on google classroom, but I won't be switching over to it since I have only a month and a half left of my career. Next school year, I believe all DSS teachers will be asked to use it for consistency for students. Some of the juniors said they don't like long videos, so no more Bill Nye! Some of the 12's asked that I put the google form survey up with the lesson on Monday, so I will do that, and also send out a reminder on Thursday. Also for the 12's, for those of you finding it hard to get the school work done because you are working full-time, I sympathize if you are having to work to support your family, but remember that you are still in school, and school is still meant to be a full time commitment! This is your graduating year! And lastly, if you have questions, just email me at either my First Class email or my deltalearns. ca email and I will answer you!

Here is LESSON #5: May 4: use the link BELOW to access it. PLEASE do NOT submit this to me, use the google form survey below. Lesson #5 is due by 5 pm Friday, May 22. I'll put the answer key out on the weekend.

Use the link ABOVE for the answer key for Lesson #5

NOTE: From Lesson #5 reading and worksheet, you should have learned that the MAIN way carbon dioxide travels back from tissues to be removed at the lungs is in the form of BICARBONATE IONS that dissolve in the plasma. You also should have learned that DIFFUSION (and partial gas pressure) is the main driving force for oxygen being dropped off AT THE TISSUES but that the drop off is also helped by slightly more acidic conditions and slightly warmer temperatures at the tissues vs the lungs. SOME OF YOU ARE MIXING UP high pH and low pH! LOW pH = acidic, numbers lower than pH 7; HIGH pH = basic, numbers higher than pH 7

Here is LESSON #6: May 25-29: use the link BELOW to access it. PLEASE do NOT submit this to me, use the google form survey below. Lesson #6 is due by 5 pm Friday, May 29. I'll put the answer key out on the weekend.

Use the link ABOVE for the answer key for Lesson #7

Note that AN action potential consists of BOTH depolarization and repolarization, and is shown on a graph as shown below, one action potential taking maybe 5 milliseconds. At the peak at 40 mV, SODIUM GATES which had been open, CLOSE and sodium ions stop entering the cell. At the peak, the second event is that potassium gates OPEN so that repolarization can occur, and potassium ions begin to leave the cell.


Here is Lesson #8: June 8-12: use the link BELOW to access it. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT this to me, use the google form survey below the lesson link. Lesson #8 is due by 5 pm Friday, June 12. I'll put the answer key out on the weekend.

Use the link ABOVE for the answer key for Lesson #8

Note that neurotransmitters do NOT ENTER the post-synaptic neuron, but only bind to receptors ON the membrane, then cause sodium gates on the new neuron to open up (if the NT is excitatory), and off the action potentials go on the new neuron. AND, there is NOT continuous stimulation by a neurotransmitter once it binds because after it has had its effect, it is quickly removed from the receptors either by being degraded by an enzyme on the post-synaptic membrane (there are different enzymes for different NT's), OR by being removed by REUPTAKE into the original neuron's (the pre-synaptic neuron's) axon bulb and maybe metabolized or reused.

Here is Lesson #9, your very last lesson of Biology 12. It is taking the place of the final fetal pig dissection we were going to do, and is a good review. There will be no marks for this; I'll put the answer key out at the end of the week. Please read the lesson sheet even if you don't do the virtual dissection. There's a booklet to direct you on how to proceed. Below the lesson link is the google form check in link, also your last one of the year! So long and fare well all of you!
