1. Complete your frog packet (IBI Handout 37) using the frog resources. The password is room122.
2. Find online resources to help you identify each of the organs/parts so you can pass the reflection.
3. Complete the frog dissection reflection in Schoology by Monday at 8am. You have 2 chances to earn up to a perfect score!

Need help with identifying internal organs?
Here is a link to a PDF from a third party. They provide color images of the frog's internal anatomy and have labeled parts. Remember, your frog will have slight variations (i.e. color of the organs due to preserving fluid) from what you see in their pictures.

Homework
 - Review your grade sheet for errors/missing work.
 - Complete pg. 4 of IBI Handout 37 (Frog Dissection)

Absent Students
Today we dissected the frogs and began exploring their internal anatomy. Here's what you need to do:

1. Complete page 4 of IBI Handout 37. Question 22 can be answered by looking on page 324 of the Life Science book, not 281 as it says.

Homework
 - Pages 1-3 of IBI Handout 37 must be complete tonight.

Absent Students
Today we condinuted working on external anatomy. Here's what you need to do:

1. Finish pages 1-3 of IBI Handout 37 (frog dissection) by tomorrow. Use the frog resources to help you. You can skip over the sex prediction (you can't predict this without the frog in front of you).
2. Watch the dissection video. This is a good review of the information you've learned and will prepare you for dissecting the frog tomorrow.

Handouts
Read the procedure below. You are using your frog dissection handout from yesterday.

Homework
 - Complete external anatomy portion of the Frog Dissection handout (IBI Handout 37) by class Wednesday.

Absent Students
Today we began our observations of the frog. We observed its external structures/functions, predicted the frog's sex, and filled in information about our frog. Here's what you need to do:

1. Complete page 1 of IBI Handout 37. Use the frog resources to help you. The password to the resources is room122.
2. Check in with Mr. Ower tomorrow to learn your new seat and frog dissection partner.

Homework
 - If you haven't submit your amoeba diagram for grading.
 - Complete the frog dissection form.
 - IBI/SDRO Summative due to Schoology by Monday at 8am.

Absent Students
Today we filled out a survey on the frog dissection and continued working on the summative. Here's what you need to do:

1. Complete the frog dissection survey. If you don't do this, you will be assigned to a partner.
2. Submit your amoeba diagram (IBI Handout 33) if you haven't already.
3. Complete the summative and submit it by Monday at 8am in Schoology.

Handouts
​You did not receive any handouts today.

Homework
 - Work on your summative. This is due by Monday, January 25th at 8am. You may turn it in earlier than this. Submit your final copy to Schoology. If you complete a paper copy, you will turn that in by hand.

Absent Students
Today we began work on our IBI/SDRO Unit Summative. Here's what you need to do:

1. Submit either your amoeba (IBI Handout 33) or paramecium (IBI Handout 35) handouts for grading. I am only looking at your diagram to assign you points for labeling.
2. Download the summative below. Read through the instructions and begin working on it.

Homework
 - Complete the IBI Lesson 6 Reflection in Schoology (+ corrections) by 8am tomorrow (1/21).

Absent Students
Today we finished any remaining observations of protists and discussed what we observed. We answered any questions we had regarding the organisms. Here's what you need to do:

1. ​Complete any unfinished protists handouts (33-36). Videos and resources are found on the previous days' posts on this site.
2. Complete your IBI Lesson 6 Reflection in Schoology. This is due by 8am tomorrow, January 21st.

Handouts
The handouts for today can be found on Friday's post. The procedure for today is below.

Answer Keys
The answer keys to IBI Handouts 33-36 are below. The handout numbers on the sheet may not match the actual handout number. Refer to the title of the file for the correct handout number.

Homework
 - Complete IBI Handouts 34 and 35. Handout 34 and its videos are on yesterday's post.

 Absent Students
Today we observed paramecium. Here's what you need to do:

1. Download IBI Handout 35.
2. Use the videos below to help you answer the questions.

Handouts
You received two files today:
 - 1/15 Daily Procedure
 - IBI Handout 35: Paramecium Observations
​ - IBI Handout 36: Euglena Observations

Movement
This video shows how the paramecium's cilia affect the water around it. It's a long video and you don't need to watch all of it.

Body Structures
This video shows numerous body structures, including active contractile vacuoles. You can also see how the cilia completely cover the body of the organism. Watch this video: it's worth it!

Reproduction
This video shows the paramecium dividing. This is a process called binary fission.

​Videos for Handout 36 (Euglena)
This first video shows how flexible the body of the Euglena is. You can also observe the flagella. How do you describe the movement of the Euglena? How many flagella does it have?

This second video is long but shows different parts of the Euglena. It also explains how they get their energy and discusses their eye spots.

Homework
 - Complete IBI Handouts 33.

Absent Students
Today we observed amoeba and volvox, two examples of protists. Here's what you need to do:

1. Download both handouts and review the instructions.
2. Use the videos below to make observations of the organisms.
3. Complete both handouts.

Handouts
You received three handouts today:
 - 1/14 Procedure

​ - IBI Handout 34: Volvox Observations

Videos and Resources for Handouts 33 and 34
​Below are several videos showing the amoeba and volvox. Use these to help you make your observations.

Amoeba Feeding
​The following video shows an amoeba feeding an another microorganism.

General Amoeba Video
The following is a compilation of several videos of the amoeba.

High Resolution Image of Amoeba
The amoeba on the left clearly shows a full contractile vacuole and a nucleus. You can identify them by the difference in color. Which one do you think is filled with water? Which one do you think contains the genetic material?

Volvox Moving Video
The following is a video that shows the movement of Volvox.

Volvox High Magnification
The following shows a video of the Volvox at high magnification. This video shows the flagella, the 

Homework
 - No homework tonight (yay!)

Absent Students
Today we were introduced to the group of organisms called protists. Protists are a kingdom of life (just as animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria are kingdoms of life). Protists are an incredibly diverse group of organisms and scientists have created several new kingdoms and classifications as a result. However, we are learning about protists under the old classification system to keep the ideas simpler. Here's what you need to do:

1. Download today's procedure and review it to see what we did.
2. Download IBI Handout 32 and complete it. I will upload the answer slides after school.
