Over the next few days, until our Test on Monday, we’ll be studying the 8 characteristics of life. You should know the description of each, any vocabulary associated, be able to provide an example, and assess how each characteristics relates to the others.

Biology students, today will be our first time taking “Notes”, although today’s notes will be more of a review of a concept than the introduction of a concept. On the Bio- Semester 1 page, you’ll find a link to the video below as well as to the handout that corresponds to it. I would encourage you to decide today how you plan to take notes in class (notability or paper), and then decide how best to redo the notes neatly and orderly on notability or on the paper version (yes this means you will be writing the notes twice).
Today we’ll be going over some important information about your safety in a Lab setting. After review the Lab Safety rules (check the documents page for your specific class for a PDF version), take a look at the image below. See if you can spot some incidences of failing to follow lab procedures for safety.
Reminder there will be a “Common Sense” Lab Safety Quiz tomorrow for Biology and Chemistry
Below is a description of how to download you iBook to your iPad. It will take some time to download, so please do not begin the download until you are in a place where you can be connected to wifi and a power source for up to an hour.
The book will be a valuable resource for you to refer to as well as for us to use in class.
I know… I feel the same way.
Welcome to Mr. Kubuske’s Class Blog. First, please set a bookmark or a link to your home screen. After that feel free to browse this page. At the top are links to class pages where notes, assignments, and documents will be posted for you to download as we work through our curriculum. There’s a page for students, a page about Mr. K, and a soon to come weekly agenda page. On the right is links to my twitter and other info that will help you.
Next, there are 3 papers on the back lab table I’d like you to pick up. You will need to bring these papers back to class tomorrow so put them in a safe place. Eventually, these papers will need to go in your Class 3-ring binder.
Last, for today’s class activity, you’ll need to get a piece of string. The strings are on the old pencil sharpener near the bookcase. Please go ahead and pick up a piece of string and come back to your seat. At that point please put all your papers and other materials away and wait for further instructions.
As a reminder, you will need to download your iBook at home or in a place where you can be on a wifi network for a long period of time.
Thanks for participating and we look forward to working with you this year!
