Winter Learning Journey 2017

Summer Learning Journey 2016-2017

💡UV Lights 💡|| Extension

This term we learnt about UV Light and we built our own little UV sensor that tells how strong the UV light is from the sun. This presentation tells what UV light is.

Task description:

Today in room 4 we are doing genomics. In the first photo we had to rank the organisms from smallest to largest and in the 2nd photo we had to rank smallest to largest from dna,chromosomes, cells and an organism.

🧬Tracking My Learning🧬 || 🔬Genomics🔬

Last term we learnt about Genomics. Here are some of my information about genomics.

🧬Cheek cells🧬 || 🔬Genomics🔬

Today room 4 were taking a look at cheek cells. We wanted to see what our cheek cells looked like under a microscope. We are trying to see if we can spot some of the organelles we were learning about last term. The equipment we needed was a Popsicle stick, a slide, sodium chloride, and methylene blue (stain). We got into groups of 3 and I was in a group with Ayla and Makayla. One of us had to swab the Popsicle stick gently around the inside of their cheek. My group nominated Ayla to swab the Popsicle stick in her mouth. After she put her dead cells on the Popsicle stick she smeared the cells on the slide. We then put a tiny drop of sodium chloride on the slide where the dead cells were. After that step we put some methylene blue on top of the sodium chloride. We then went to lunch while the slide dried. After lunch we came into class and used the microscopes to see what the dead cells in our cheek look like. Aylas cheek cells just looked like little dots.

 🔬🧬This term we have been learning about genomics. This term we learnt a lot about cells and genetics. We learnt about the organelles that live in a cell. This is my animation explaining the organelles in the cell, I did not get to animate the organelles because we spent most of our term learning about the cell than to draw them on the imac. So I just drew a normal cell and talked about each organelle. We also wrote down all our information in our Tracking my learning slides. Hope you enjoy!🧬🔬

Task description/explanation:
This term is all about living things and for inquiry we are learning about the origin of life, Organs in our body and cells. My animation for this term was supposed to be about the organelles in the cells and explaining how each organelle works in the cell. We spent most of our term learning about this that we didn't have that much time to draw it on the imacs. The video above was my attempt at showing/explaining what each organelle does. The presentation was just an addition to my animation showing what the organelles do in more depth.🧬🧬🔬🔬
