Movement Across the Membrane Flowchart: HW
Flow Chart:
A flow chart organizes information by connecting vocab words so they flow from one big, general category (“Movement Across the Membrane”) to multiple specific categories (“hypotonic”).
Make your own flow chart using all of the words in the listed below. Include a definition and/OR diagram for each. This will be graded.
Words For Your Chart:

Ms. Clark's Google Classroom!!!!
The "google classroom" is very similar to sites you may be using for other classes, like edmoto and schoology. Unlike this blog, you can turn in assignments on the google classroom (with this blog, you could only view resources and leave comments).
**When you create something using your school gmail account, like a slides presentation or google doc, you can turn it in on to the google classroom easily: Click the assignment, choose the option that says "add", and you will be given options. You can use either the link that google creates for that file, or simply choose the file from your google drive.
How to Get to the Google Classroom:
1. Make sure you are logged in to the Chromebook using your school gmail address (your student # @ stamfordpublicschools.org) ***TO access this from home, just log into your school gmail account using gmail.com
2. Type classroom.google.com into the URL bar, or click the link in this sentence.
3. Once the page loads, find the plus sign in the upper right hand corner and click it.
4. Click "Join Class"
5. Find your class period's class code (it's written on the white board). MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CODE FOR YOUR CLASS PERIOD!
6. Click join and tada! You're in! :-D

Open House Survey
Welcome to Open House Night at Westhill High School!
I am Ms. Clark, a Freshman biology and physical science teacher. I'm very pleased to be meeting all of you this evening.
Please click the link below, which will take you to a brief parent/guardian survey. This survey links ONLY to my WHS google account, and is intended to facilitate communication.
We will be speaking together as a group shortly. When you are done, please click "submit".

CLASS WORK: 10/1/2015
Background:
In the chemistry unit, the biiiiiig essential question we are investigating is: "How do chemical processes underlie biological processes?"
To answer that question, you've got to start small. Extremely small...atomically small! So far in the chemistry unit, we've gone into depth studying atoms. Before we move in to the next topic in chemistry, let's review the topics we've covered to make sure that you are comfortable with them, and to ensure that you understand what you are expected to know.
Content Knowledge Objectives (the big picture stuff you need to know):
1. What is the general structure of an atom?
2. How are the properties of elements in the Periodic Table related to their atomic structures?
3. How do atoms combine to form new substances (what are ionic and covalent bonds)?
Class assignment:
In the comments section of this post, post your answers to the three questions above. IF YOU WERE UNABLE TO LOGIN WITH YOUR NEW SCHOOL EMAIL ADDRESS, then you may use your Chromebook number as your "name" (just as you did yesterday). You may use your notes, class handouts, and the links on this blog. Answers should be detailed (3-5 sentences per question). Your post should not be plagiarized from your classmates' posts.
When you are done, click on the the PAGE (to the right) for the Group Project: Macromolecules
