Are We Sponges Or Ballerinas??

Here I am again, people,!!! This is the video I told you (and showed people from Fridays) about last class. I hope it can help you understand the relationship between surface area and volume. This is a key concept to understand absorption in every part of our bodies.

So, less talking and more doing!!!
A biologist will show this ratio with an interesting lab experiment



This is the other video we watched in class last Friday.




I'm also including my  powerpoint presentation on transport IN and OUT of the cells for you to use as a review
  
TRANSPORT IN CELLS
 

Transport in cells 3rd from sdelrioandrea

Study a lot for the test on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2nd (Friday Group) and MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5th please, because I wouldn't like this to happen:

 In case of doubts, please, remember, you can contact me in different ways:

Once There Was A Jack And A Charlie Diffusing In Water

As you can remember, we discussed that poor Leo Dicaprio died in Titanic because of 1) the loss (=perdida) of heat to the water by a diffusion process and because 2) all the water in his cells froze and the enzymes inside the cells stopped working because of the low temperature...


It was sad, wasn't it? and now, off with the watery romantic eyes and in with the funny stuff.

Shame on you, Rose, you selfish cow!!!

and ... do you remember Rose´s last words in the trailer?

The Mythbusters proved James Cameron WRONG!!!



I have a special 10 for the person that can tell me if Jack could have really gone to the bottom of the ocean or could have floated after dead (with a scientific explanation, of course!!!)

And for the girls only... the moment when heat diffuse from Zac's body into Tess's cold body to save her life...



(I was wrong, he wasn't wearing a t-shirt at all from the beginning of the scene...)

and now let's get a bit more serious...


(just the information we discussed in class!!!)

And another one from BBC




Hope you like them!!!
See you next Thursday/Friday

PS: Let's see who can understand the joke

The Strange Case of Alfred, the Gummy Bear who Drowned in Distilled Water

Hi, people!! How are you?  Sorry for not posting the material before but I was down with temperature yesterday (Apparently, my enzymes have been doing their job pretty well and now I'm feeling much better!!! GO ENZYMES!!)
Let's talk a bit about your two practical work assignments and the test...

For Thursday July 7th, each pizza group from Mondays- Thursdays will have to come to the Biology lab on the 2nd floor with the following materials:






 

4 disposable transparent plastic cups

Masking tape

permanent marker

spoon

a bag of Gummy Bears (different colours) a packet of Halls candies (= pastillas Halls)

Distilled water (= Agua Desmineralizada). I bought it in the car section at Coto

salt

centimeter rulers

With the group from Fridays, we will make the experiment on Friday July 15th (last two hours)

And this is a file for you to print and complete on the results (individually) for the first class after the winter holiday  (For the last page BE EXTRA CREATIVE!!!!!)

For Monday July 11th, each pizza group will have to choose up to 10 of the pictures you took during pizza making, print them and on a colour cardboard (cartulina) stick them , telling how the process was (every step) and showing your final pizzas. I will hang the posters on the walls of the lobby, so do your best!



And last but not the least

People from Mondays- Thursdays will have the test on ENZYMES and RESPIRATION on THURSDAY JULY 14th. The group from Fridays will have it on FRIDAY, JULY 15TH.







            See you!!!
