Update

Hi class,

The board game is an optional assignment.
You WILL earn marks if you hand in the game by Thursday.  The Geo retest is on Tuesday.  Participation marks were entered for those who attended the UBC field trip lab.  The assignment will also be inputed at a later time.  If you have not handed in your assignment, you need to do so as soon as possible.

Any assignments taken in by Ms. Cheung will be inputed too.

I sincerely regret the inconvenience and confusion that my illness has caused for the class.  Please email me if you have any questions.

Ms. Chung

Geology notes

Your geology study package is here.

nitrogen cycle

today we looked at the root nodules in a legume plant.  These plants have a symbiotic relationship with a nitrogen fixing bacteria called rhizobium.  Not all plants have these nodules. Legumes are plants that make pods like soybean, clover, alfalfa, kidney beans, peas.

bioaccumulation notes and nutrient cycle notes

Next day you will get a lab on the carbonic acid buffer.  study your nutrient cycle notes and your bioaccumulation notes   look at the vocab for your ecology chapters.  there will be a unit test on November 8.  It will be multiple choice.  if you do well, it will overwrite your previous test.  So study the details of the notes plus the vocab for chapters 1 and 2.

we will also do a lab on the same day.
