Standards Assessed:

In multicellular organisms, the body is a system of multiple interacting subsystems. These subsystems are groups of cells that work together to form tissues and organs that are specialized for particular body functions. (MS-LS1-3)

Topics Covered:
1. Structures and functions of the Circulatory System - Cover sheet and readings

2. Structures and functions of the Respiratory System - Cover sheet and readings

3. How do the circulatory and respiratory system work together to perform the gas exchange? - Work sheets, constructed responses, interactive links.

4. How do we breathe? - class simulation, worksheets, interactive links

5. How does the blood flow in the heart? - performance assessment, video on blog, worksheet

6. How do molecules of oxygen flow in the respiratory system from the outside air to the alveoli? - reading, questions.

Reinforcement for the Quiz!

Here is a video on the processes of photosynthesis. Most of the stuff is "Want to know" rather than "Need to know". If you feel like you've got everything down and want to see the next level check it out! Hank Green is cool, but why does everyone talk so fast?

Be sure to spend some quality, focused time studying tonight!

Answer Keys

This week, we've completed two packets reviewing Photosynthesis, Cellular Respiration, and Fermentation. Below are links to answer keys to these two packets. Please check our answers against yours, make corrections and come to class with questions in preparation for next week's quiz.

Steps to take when you view a scenario:

1. Identify the molecules- pay close attention if they are large or small.

2. Identify high and low concentrations

3. Identify the direction of the concentration gradient

4. Identify if the molecules are moving with or against the concentration gradient

5. Decide if it is active or passive transport.

6. Be specific with the type of transport.
