16th week #2

We just worked on our final projects but I don't have final for this class so I just hang out in the class room, worked on my blogs for AP biology. I feel like I am always working on AP biology stuff in this class. Next week, we have junior and senior trips so nobody is going to be in the class. I assume we don't need to do blogs for next week.

16th week #1

We are almost done with the class!! Today we started the review for everything that we covered this semester. BUTTT I have like 97% in this class, so for sure I won't have to take final. I have just been working on my blogs and websites. My websites are basically done, so I really don't have any left out to do for this class. I am so happy that I am done with everything!

15th week #2

Today, we started the new chapter, the lymph and immune system. Mr. Kuhn just assigned us the key terms and brief reading about this chapter. So we worked on it during class today. I am not worrying about this class so much, but I am VERY worrying about AP biology just like always....

AP EXAM IS ON MONDAY!

15th week #1

This time, we had a test or presentation on chapter 12,13, and 14, which are about blood, heart, and circulation. I chose to do presentation, and it was hard to make a presentation because there were so much to write about. Mr. Kuhn said that it was okay not to include every single small details, as long as it was covered briefly. However I am not good at summarizing so I ended up including details more than I needed. Well, I could answer all the questions he asked, and it went pretty well, I guess.

I am happy that I finished it though. ANDDD I got 5 extra points :)

14th week #2

Aoua and I showed our advertisement of blood donation to four other groups to see what they would think today. Basically people told us that we should say more information about it since we only said that we need blood in the iMovie. It was easy to fix it though. Because we wanted to say more stuff but we thought we weren't going to able to say it all in 30 seconds. So it didn't take us so much to record it again. I hope we will do good tomorrow.

14th week #1

Today, Mr. Kuhn assigned us a project. We have to make a 30 seconds advertisement. Aoua and I chose blood donation and it will probably be a kind of depressing one. We both didn't really want to record or talk so much, so we will put a few pictures together and add sounds, music, and explanation to it. I hope it won't take so long though....I have to make a power point for the next test, but more than that I NEED TO STUDY FOR AP BIOLOGY EXAM!!!!

13th week #2

So Mr. Kuhn wasn't here today again. He apparently took his mom up to the SLC airport. He wasn't here during AP biology either. He is busy...

We just worked on our homework that we were assigned last class. Extra credit for yesterday, 3 chapters of key terms for today, and a pathology report for Monday. I don't want to work on any of it this weekend because I have so much to do for AP biology, so I finished it during this period. At least I can focus on AP biology this weekend. I am going to be studying allllll weekend...!

13th week #1

I guess this was the time when I took a test. I didn't really take the test, but I made a presentation about the endocrine system. My test was to include all the details about it and present it to Mr. Kuhn. I made my presentation pretty fast because it wasn't that hard so I felt comfortable presenting it. Although I forgot to include one little stuff on the presentation so I made that real fast while somebody else was doing the presentation. That was scary. But overall I think I did okay. Mr. Kuhn said that I got about 95% out of 100 which is pretty good :)

12th week #2

Apparently Mr. Kuhn had a meeting today so he wasn't there. Mr. Hephenside ? was there instead. We just read the new chapter that we will be studying next.

12th week #1

We had a test on Endocrine system today. There were two choices.
1) taking a real test
2) presentation

Half of the people chose the test and the other half chose presentation. I wasn't ready so I didn't have to do anything but to work on the presentation. I don't want to take a test so it is a good choice for me haha

I think I made an okay powerpoint though. I made it pretty quickly, like in half an hour but I think I put enough details in there. I will be presenting it on Sunday night study hall.

11th week#2

Aoua and I were going to present thymus at this time. But since I was still suspended at this time, Aoua had to do the presentation by herself. I think it went okay though because I wrote every single detail of thymus and sent it to her. I am pretty sure all she had to do was to read it.

I hope it went okay.... I'm sorry Aoua...

11th week #1

Sooo this week, I was gone to Japan since I was suspended. But I know what we did.

We worked on our presentation of each gland of Endocrine system. Aoua and I worked on thymus. Aoua made a picture of it, and I wrote the description and explanation of what it is/does.

10th week #2

Mr. Kuhn told us which vocabularies we had to look up for this chapter, and I finished it pretty fast. There were only about 20 of them, which is way less than the previous chapter.

That's basically the only thing we did today.

10th week #1

Today, it was our first lecture after the spring break, so we have started the next chapter.

Endocrine system seems like it would just be like the nervous system but the good thing is it sounds less complicated than that.

I am excited for what we will be studying from now. This is our last quater at Wasatch!

9th week #2

So Mr. Kuhn was gone today on the last day before spring break. He just let us work on our websites, and blogs. Mr. English was weird when he first came into our class room. He started saying stuff what Leonardo Dicaprio said in the movie, "Inception." He is pretty funny :p

I am soooo excited for the break! Although I have homework assignment from AP biology. 

9th week #1

Todayyy we had a test on chapter 9 and 10. Chapter 9 was about the nervous system, and chapter 10 was about the five senses. Chapter 9 mostly talked about the touch and how the nervous work. Chapter 10 talked more about other four senses; how we taste, how we hear, how we smell, and how we see. The eye structure is so complicated.... There are so many structures and functions. If we didn't have the note card, I would have failed.
I didn't do so well and I couldn't even finish the test on time, but so kind of Mr. kuhn. We will be able to work on the test on Thursday as well :-)

I hope I will do fine on this test though.... I don't want to be nervous about the test during spring break

8th week #2

Today, we watched the video that talks about smell and taste. We haven't finished it yet, but I enjoyed it. Basically they are trying to figure out what the worst smell in the world is, in this video. Also they were doing the competition of how many red pepper they can eat in limited time. It looked so spicy!

Also one man caught a skunk, and made it sprayed at himself the super stinky liquid. And he walked around the city to see what other people would do. Of course it smelt so bad, so everyone just looked at him and gave the bad look, or just walked away from him. It was pretty funny.

I have never smelt skunk, but I would like to try. I don't want to get sprayed though....

8th week #1

Today, we had a lecture about taste. We have 5 main tastes on the tongue: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Umami is close to agreeable, good in Japanese. I did not know that they used Japanese term for this.
Also we licked this piece of paper, and saw what it tasted like. I didn't taste anything, but a lot of people were saying that it tasted very bitter. They went to drink some water too. I tried it last year in Biology class, but I didn't taste anything then either.

AND next Monday is our blogs/websites due day....I have to work on my chapter 10 website.

7th week #2

Today, Sarah Karr's father came to Wasatch and he talked about stem cells. Actually, Mr. Kuhn gave me study hall because I was at his lecture already during A block. Basically, he talked about what a stem cell is. How it is used, and what for. Just like the homework we were given. I thought it was pretty interesting to know how a clone is made. Even though it is not allowed to clone a human, I would like to make one of myself if it was allowed.

7th week #1

Well, Mr. Kuhn was not there today because he went to salt lake or something so we just had a normal website day. I worked on my key terms that we have for homework, and finished it. There were over 30 words so it took me a little longer than usual. I need to work on my website soon though. We are already almost done with chapter 10!
