RECAP:
In all classes we analyzed our DBMA results and each student was given their personalized study guide. I went over what the report means, explained how they can patch the holes in their "boat" and how they can target areas they need improvement on within the IXL practice sessions. We will start up with IXL next week. I also told all classes that I will now count 5th grade standards as part of their homework since Marion County is still using the older standards, but the State has switched over to the new standards. Students were impressed by how much progress some of them have made. I pointed out thatthe only way I can help them, is if they want to help themselves and reminded then that I had told them on day one, if they come to class every day, do their very best, and be respctful and attnetive, they will not fail the class. That still holds true, today.
SKILLS BOOST:
Respiration is a biochemical process during which living organisms take up oxygen and release carbon dioxide to produce energy. There are three main stages of respiration: external, internal, and cellular.
In cellular respiration, cells in the tissue use oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP.
C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 12H2 + energy
In fish, the carbon dioxide produced by cellular respiration enters the blood during internal respiration. The blood carries the carbon dioxide to the filaments in the gills. This carbon dioxide leaves the blood during external respiration and is expelled in the water.
The table shows the water temperature (in degrees Celsius) and amount of dissolved oxygen (in milligrams per liter) for four different fish tanks.

Explain how water temperature affects the amount of dissolved oxygen available to the fish. Then explain how this relationship could affect the fish and their cellular respiration.

Earth’s Structure and Changes Over Time
Unit Essential Question: How do the processes of the rock cycle and human activities alter the surface of Earth over time?
How do the processes of the rock cycle and human activities alter the surface of Earth over time?
Key Learning Statement: The shape of the land changes over time through two major processes, both natural and manmade. Natural changes occur through weathering, erosion, and deposition which are agents of the rock cycle. Manmade changes occur through deforestation, urbanization, desertification, air, land, water quality, and change in flow and pollution of water.
