1. Q: what did the retreat mean to you. A: It was a blend of activity and mental process and Judaics with bonding with others integrated into it as well as a fun experience. It was the perfect way to start out a new year.
2. Q: What did you learn about yourself? A: I learned that I am much more agile than originally thought.
3. Q: what connections to SCIENCE or MATH did you find, or hear, or make with any experience you had? A: to many to list. The different plants and biology of plants, the physics of balance, the rope ladder that looks like DNA, the sturgeon mutation, circulation cut off ETC.

made by me science questions
1. Q: name 5 cell organelles. A: mitochondria, nucleus, vacuole, cytoplasm and cell membrane.
2. Q: what function does the nucleus have? A: its the controller of all of the cells functions
3. Q: what is a mutation? A: a mutation is a change in the order of A G C or T.
4. Q: what constitutes a living thing? A: it must react to its environment, get energy, reproduce, get rid of wastes, grow and have cells
5. Q; how is a protein made? A: a message is sent to the gene to make a specific protein. A copy is made and messenger mRNA which also is the copy sends itself through the nuclear pores to where it is needed.

science notes.
organelles of a plant can be found in the previous post.
subject 2:
the nucleus contains dna. this dna divides each each piece of chromatin into new shapes called chromosomes. every organism has a number of chromosomes that figure out everything that will happen with the organism ie sex or eye color etc. inside chromosomes are genes which contain the information to produce many different proteins that are used in each cell. proteins are what make the chromosome decide what cells will be made and what they will do.
subject 3:
how proteins are produced can best be described in the g9 text page 131 figure 4.11

Cell Questions
1. Living things must: respond to their environment, living things need energy, living things grow, living things reproduce and living things must get rid of wastes. Living things must also have cells.
2. Because single cells do 5 out of the 6 things that classify if something is living. They just don't need cells because they are a cell.
3. Plant cells:
mitochondrion=are the energy producers in cells
cytoplasm=the jelly like substance inside each cell that contains organelles water and other life supporting things,
ndoplasmic reticulum=a network of membrane covered tubes. Ribosomes attach themselves to this.
chloroplast=traps the energy of the sun and changes it into chemical energy. this is in plants only.
ribosomes=the part of the cell that assembles the proteins. Its sort of like a small factor that builds protein.
Golgi body=it sorts the proteins and jam packs them into membrane wrapped structures.
cell wall= the tough structure that surrounds the cell membrane and gives it a box like shape.
cell membrane=the thin covering for each cell
nucleus=the central control of the cell. sort of like a "cell brain"
vacuole=they are temporary storage compartments that occasionally store waste.
Animal cells: Animal cells are basically the same as plant with the exceptions of animal cells do not have a cell wall nor chloroplast. But animal cells do have lysosome.
lysosome=the organelles that break down other busted organelles and turn them into wastes as well as turn food into waste.

technology
tech is the way of the future so preparing us for it is helpful, well used for learning and fun.
