After completing and sharing the bell ringer, students completed notes on the formation of eukaryotic cells and the advantages of sexual reproduction. These notes can be seen in the video from yesterday's blog. I will print out a copy of the notes for absent students only. It is your responsibility, however, to see me for a copy of the notes. I will also post the slide show in My Big Campus.
We did not get to discuss the Miller-Urey experiment and will do so next class.
We added pages to our interactive notebook. A contact information sheet was placed in the back inside cover. Pages a through e were labeled in the back of the notebook. A new table of contents page was added to show that these new pages were added.
Handouts explaining in detail how to write the Cornell notes questions were distributed and should be used to help students increase achievement. These were placed on pages 5 and 6 of the notebook.
