CORDES_Science 7th [M_W_F]-2888_per 5 (T/Th 1:50 pm - 3:00 pm/Fridays 11:15 am - 12:15 pm or appointment) Assignments

Use your real name when you play this so that I can give you credit for it.

A kolam (pronounced kohl·uhm) is an Indian art form of geometric patterns, used as a sign of welcome. Drawn outside homes, the beautiful designs made of dots and lines provide a sense of joy and calm to all who enter. Traditionally hand-drawn with rice flour, kolams are inclusive and eco-friendly. Redrawn daily, kolams share the ephemeral and meditative qualities of Native American sand paintings and Buddhist mandalas.

The dots on a kolam depict hardships in life, and the lines drawn around the dots represent the way we navigate around our struggles and turn our lives into a beautiful mosaic work of art. Your kolam submissions are beams of good energy to solve problems and to help foster the beautiful patterns of diversity and inclusivity in America.

Vanakkam ("welcome") Kolam - a digital kolam made of individual kolam selfies (people could draw, color, or simply print a kolam and click a photo alongside). The digital kolam is interactive and enables you to see the individual submissions.

*****HAPPENING NOW**** Check this out! Take pix. Upload. Enjoy! Explain.

Please complete the survey below.

1. Use RECYCLABLE materials to CREATE a Model of either a PLANT or ANIMAL CELL.
2. Find things around the house that work (function) the same way that each part of the cell works.
3. Use the information on pages 58 & 59 as well as on page 63 to help you.
4. Include the following cell parts in your model. Remember to include only the parts of the cell that should actually be there. For example, not all cell parts are in both plants and animals. So, only include what belongs in the type of cell you are creating.
5. I have attached a YouTube video in order to help give you a better idea of what to do. DO NOT COPY this video. Create your cell from things YOU have around YOUR house. Be creative. Have fun!
6. Label each cell part.
For example, if we were to turn our school into a model of a cell, we might decide to make Dr. Ventura the nucleus of our cell model. We would take a picture of her and attach a piece of paper to a toothpick and label her photo. On the paper, we could write: "Nucleus. Dr. Ventura. Controls the school and tells us all what to do just like the nucleus of a cell tells the parts of the cell what to do."
7.Once you have finished making your cell. Create a FlipGrid. You will find the instructions for making your FlipGrid in the FlipGrid application itself. The Link is listed below.

* cell wall
* cell membrane
* cytoplasm
* nuclear membrane
* nucleus
* chromosomes
* nucleolus
* mitochondria
* chloroplasts
* Golgi bodies
* vacuole
* endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough)
* ribosomes
* lysosomes
* cytoskeleton

1. Take a picture of the outside of your foldable with all the flaps closed.
2. Take a picture of the inside of your foldable with all the flaps open.

Attach your images here.

A Virus ~> has several characters that make it different from a cell such as:

1. It doesn’t contain any kind of cytoplasm, cell wall, cell membrane, ribosome or mitochondrion.
2. It doesn’t have any sort of metabolic enzyme of its own. So, no nutrition system is seen.
3. It can’t reproduce itself, without any help of the host living cell.
4. It can be crystallized, centrifuged or diffused.
5. It doesn’t have any sort of somatic development.

Chemically, its just a fusion of protein and nucleic acid.

Follow the instructions in each column in the attached Padlet.

1. Read all 3 paragraphs on page 2.

3. Color the virus any color you choose, but use the coloring key to show me which colors are which part of the cell.

Remember: You're only completing pages 1 & 2.

Using all your knowledge about 9/11, use your Jamboard, FlipGrid, Memorial, etc to complete the attached Before & After file.

1) What was it like BEFORE 9/11 (think airports, safety, etc)
2) What was it like AFTER 9/11 (think airports, safety, etc)

Then, Open a Google Doc and write a reflection on 9/11 and everything you learned. (Don't ask me how long it has to be. My answer is always: Long enough to explain what you're thinking. Writers don't count paragraphs or pages when they write books. I don't want you to count them either. Once you've told me EVERYTHING that's in your head, then, it's finished.
