Journal Entry Week 3

This week in biology we had a test about the organelles and all of their different functions. Then we did a lab using the microscopes to look at onion cells, cilantro cells, and for practice before we looked at those cells Jade and I got to look at a larvae on a mammal muscle. It was pretty cool, and it was interesting to learn how to use a microscope since I haven't touched one since 7th grade.. It was also neat to realize what you're looking at and what to look for in cells when looking through a microscope. It was a productive week and I feel like I have learned more about what cells look like.

Journal Entry Week 2

This week in biology we had a unit test, that I thought I was going to make a 100% on but sadly no. The week has gotten better though! Alex and I presented our cell project and it went great! We also did a lab today finishing up the previous lab including the chicken liver. It was very gross but interesting and we got to watch the reactions happen in different substances. All in all it was a very successful and a great week.

Journal Entry Week 1

In Biology we learned about the four major types of organic compounds. Which are Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, and Nucleic Acids. I remember watching a video about it but I don't remember much about it, I like to do more hands on things and writing it down multiple times. Yes it is very unusual but it's how I learn things. Such as the project that we did on the organic compounds, my partner was Alex and we did Carbohydrates. Personally my favorite, i learned a lot about them, such as they are made up of Carbon Hydrogen and Oxygen and that they are the main source of energy that our bodies receive. There are simple sugars and complex sugars. I also learned what the glucose molecule looks like. It took a while for me to completely understand each of the four major organic compounds, and I still have lots to learn about them, but as of now I can understand most of what is needed to know about these compounds Here is a great video about photosynthesis
