Test - Study Hints

                                                 Which organelle is this? What is its function?

*If you need any final extra help, Mr. Mak will be available after school on Monday in the D&T room 3:15-4:00

 *If you miss the test due to Athletics or illness, it is your responsibility to co-ordinate a make-up time with Mr. Mak

 *Look over the list below to see if you are ready for our test.  Focus on reviewing the topic you are less confident with!


-Review the three main ideas of the Cell Theory (ted ed video/questions)
-Understand the difference between unicellular and multicellular (organelle video/questions)
-Understand the difference between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic (organelle video/questions)
-Describe the function of all major organelles found in animal and plant cells (organelle video/video games)
-Identify key organelles by their appearance (worksheet/organelle video/video games)
-Predict the impact on plant or animal cells if an organelle does not function properly(worksheet/organelle video/video games/textbook questions)
-Identify/explain at least two differences between organelles found in plant and animal cells (organelle video/worksheet/video games)
-Briefly explain the difference between images made by SEM (scanning electron microscopes) and TEM (transmission electron microscopes) (textbook questions)
-Arrange the levels of organization in the human body: organ, cell, organism, organelle, tissue, organ system (these are not in order!) (textbook questions/pyramid image above)
-Write the word equation for photosynthesis (inputs/outputs)  (photosynthesis video/questions)
-Explain what Photosynthesis means and where it takes place in plant cells (photosynthesis video/questions)
-Explain what Cellular Respiration is and where it takes place in plant/animal cells (photosynthesis video/questions)
-Describe similarities and differences between photosynthesis and cellular respiration (photosynthesis video/questions)
-Identify and explain the function of all key components (parts) of a compound light microscope (microscope post on the website/review test)
-Calculate the total magnification of a light microscope when given the eyepiece and objective lens magnifications (microscope post on the website/review test)
-Understand what the Scientific method is, why it is used, and order key steps in the process (lab report/website post/class notes)

Water Systems Hands-On Task - Creating Water Filters

Image
Design Task - Creating a Water Filter to Remove Impurities from a Non-Potable Freshwater Sample             In groups, you will research about, design, and then build, two simple water filtration devices, using only materials that can be found in the wilderness. One filter will have three filtration layers and the other one, five layers. You will filter a total of two 500mL samples per device. Your goal is to create the cleanest possible water sample. Successfully filtered water will be judged by having a reasonable odour (smell), have minimal discolouration (“brownish or yellowish-ness”) and look nearly transparent (see-though, with as few floating clumps or particles as possible). Research Before Starting: Articles: https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Water-Filter http://all-about-water-filters.com/top-easiest-diy-water-filters-you-can-make-at-home/ http://pbskids.org/zoom/activiti...

Introduction to Mechanical Advantage and Levers List five things machines do. (p 8) A machine is a _______________ made of one or more _______________ that work together to accomplish a task. (p. 8) Describe the subsystems a can opener is made of and what the role of each subsystem is. (p. 8/figure 2) Explain what a mechanism is. (p. 8) In your own words, explain what a self-correcting control is. (p. 9) Explain what a lever is. (p. 10) Give four or five real-world examples of levers. (p. 10) Explain why are levers useful. (p. 10) Levers are broken down into three types. List them. (p. 10) Give one or two real-world examples for each type of lever. (p. 10/11/figure 1/2/3) All levers require a fulcrum, load force and effort force. Explain what each of these are. (p. 10) Make a quick sketch of a Class I, Class II and Class III level. Neatly label the fulcrum, effort force and load force on each diagram you made. Also label the load arm and ...
