"Whoops, forgot to do this. But here is exactly what I had written down on my paper before any instruction. Some people believe that we evolved from monkeys because we are so closely related or whatever, which is evolution. But I don't believe…"

"There were a lot of hidden genetic items in this movie, I can see why this movie was chosen. But if I was given the opportunity to do that, to select specific traits and everything, I most likely would not. It kind of takes the fun out of raising a…"

There are a lot more to carbohydrates than you would think. There are many different types of carbs and I don't think a lot of people realize that. There are monosaccharides that includes: glucose, fructose, and galactose. Monosaccharides give you high… Continue

Cell Structures and Functions

Prokaryotic Cells:



Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus unlike eukaryotic cells. There are two kinds of prokaryotic cells: bacteria and archaea. The plasma membrane separates the interior of the cell from it's environment and serves as a filter and communication beacon

Most prokaryotic cells have a cell wall. The wall acts as an additional barrier… Continue

Virtual Classroom

Our work has certainly come a long way this year. In our short time working in this space (since only September 2009) we have attracted quite a bit of attention for our open approach to learning.  Your sharing, reflection and synthesis have earned two nominations for Edublogs awards in as many years.  Impressive is a good word.In the thread below, please reflect upon our use of free, open online tools to enhance our classroom this year. I'm always proud of how your work ends up being all about…See More
