At the beginning of class we had to first show Ms.D the homework that was due on Tuesday and then we went over the homework that is on Moodle.
Due Thursday: The food packet activity for the people in Speech and Debate.
Due Friday: Study for quiz. The will be focusing on animal cells, plant cells, cell theory, how something is alive, chemical compounds in cells and how cells function in the environments. (There will be a review session on Thursday) Another thing that is due Friday is the second blog comment. Also don’t forget to measure and water your plant.

Later on we took a few notes on:
Melanin: a pigment in humans that reacts to sun light
Chlorophyll: green pigment
Fiber/cellulose: material from plant that humans cannot digest, causes excretion
Celery is a good example of fiber.
We also talked about the Tree Man. He has a special parasite that causes him to grow abnormal things on his skin.
