__Assignments for Mr. Cottrell's Classes__ (Many assignments were adapted from presentations and lectures) Assignment Number, date started, title and Descriptions: (Most recent are at the top)

Item to study for the 1st semester final.

1/13/11 Start the Chromosomes Modeled with Socks Activity Creating a "Sock Karyotype" 1. Separate the socks. 2. Sort the socks into pairs based on their stripes. (Bends or shape doesn't matter.) 3. Arrange the pairs from longest to shortest. (Put the mismatched pair at the end.) 4. Attach the pairs to a piece of paper in rows from longest to shortest with the mismatched pair at the end.

Additional information: Chromosomes can be compared to socks because they come in pairs. Chromosomes are the pieces of DNA found in the nucleus of a cell. Chromosomes occur in pairs. Each chromosome of the pair comes from a different parent. Different sections of DNA in a chromosome contain the code for an organisms traits. Arranging chromosomes in pairs and by length is called a karyotype.

Pictures: Textbook page 131 explains and shows chromosomes. Textbook page 202 explains karyotpes. Textbook page 199 shows a karyotype. Textbook page 195 explains the mismatched pair of socks. Textbook page 160 shows traits determined by genes on chromosomes.

..........12/3 Finish up assignment 38. The fun part of the assignment. Sending a rolling marble at a rubber band at specific angles and measuring the angle the marble bounces off the rubber band. If the two angles are about equal the Law of Reflection is confirmed. Plus, students will see the Law of Reflection in action. (For details see assignment #38 started on 11/19)

41..........12/2 Using Light Test

..........12/1 Study for Test Continue working on 40 Light Review B
 * 1) 39 Light Review A

40..........11/30 Light Review B Copy the review sheet on pages 54 & 55 in your science notebook. Each item on this review is a concept that matches a question on the test that will be given Thursday. If you know the 15 items on this review, you will get 15 test questions correct. This assignments will be scored on Wednesday, so bring your completed assignments Wednesday. Monday and Tuesdays assignments will only be worth half credit on Thursday.

39..........11/29 Light Review A Copy the review sheet on pages 52 & 53 in your science notebook. Each item on this review is a concept that matches a question on the test that will be given Thursday. If you know the 15 items on this review, you will get 15 test questions correct. This assignments will be scored on Wednesday, so bring your completed assignments Wednesday. Monday and Tuesdays assignments will only be worth half credit on Thursday.

38..........11/19 Testing Law of Reflection Activity. Use pages 48 & 49 in your Science Notebook. Items 1 through 4 can be done out side of class along with the data table for item 5. Standard: Students will know that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. This means that a marble will bounce off a rubber band at the same angle that it hit the rubber band at. (Activity could be done by one person holding a rubber band tight and another person rolling a marble at the rubber band.)
