The Biology Class of St. Joseph High
School, First Semester, 2002-03
Internet Lesson # 01 Signing on and
using scilinks.org and learning more about the structures and
functions of cells.
Friday, 9/13/02. This is the first online
lesson for a biology class at St. Joseph High School. It is taking
place in the school's computer room. The purpose of the lesson is to
introduce the students to the use of scilinks.org which is an online
resource from the National Science Teachers Association. It is keyed
to the students' new BSCS Biology, 9th Edition Textbooks. In using
scilinks.org students will also supplement their learning about the
structures and functions of cells.
PROCEDURE:
1) This is Objective B-26. Each student will
sign-on and register to scilinks.org and then go to the online
resources and write or sketch what is requested on a sheet of
loose-leaf paper which is due at the end of class.
2) Click on scilinks.org below. Go to
REGISTER HERE. Register as a student. It is required that it be done
correctly for this class. You need to use your correct first name and
only the initial of your last name. You make up a username
(suggestion: your first name and last name initial together.) and a
password that you must remember. Then enter the zipcode of the
school, 00840 and the State (Territory), VI. Then enter your
teacher's username which is jpetrait.
3) After registering, you should be at MY
SCILINKS. Go to FIND INTERNET RESOURCES. There, you will be entering
a 5 letter/number code which is keyed to your new textbook. The 3
codes from Chapter 5 will be followed for this assignment. Each code
consists of the letters GV (for Green Version) followed by the page
number in the textbook.
4) Go to each of the following coded sites
and do what is requested on loose-leaf paper:
A) Enter GV119. There are 12 links
underneath. Click on 3D CELL and find the 3 cell pictures. Make a
quick, labeled sketch of each cell on your loose-leaf paper. Return
to FIND INTERNET RESOURCES.
B) Enter GV122. Go to the 4th link down,
MEMBRANE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION. Make a quick, labeled sketch of the
Danielli-Dawson Model. Return to FIND INTERNET RESOURCES.
C) Enter GV129. Go to the 2nd link down, THE
CELL CYCLE AND MITOSIS TUTORIAL Do the MITOSIS tutorial and answer
the 2 mitosis questions. Write the correct answers to the 2 questions
on your loose-leaf paper. Then go and try to view the MITOSIS
ANIMATION. This is a 480K file and will take a few minutes to load.
Also it will only work if your computer has quicktime on it. If you
get the video, view it and write a paragraph describing
it.
D) If you could not do the previous
paragraph, find a substitute and write the paragraph about it. There
are many links to explore on this topic. If you have time, you need
to go back and explore as many of the other links as possible and
list the names of each on your loose-leaf paper. YOU MAY NOT GO TO
ANY OTHER WEBSITE OR PLAY GAMES ON YOUR COMPUTER DURING THE BIOLOGY
CLASS. YOU MAY NOT SEND OR RECEIVE EMAIL OR PRINT OUT ANY TEXT OR
GRAPHIC.
HOMEWORK: B-27 Write a 150 words report on
the stages of mitosis in a plant cell and describe the appearances of
the chromosomes during each stage of mitosis. Use your textbook for
reference and what you remembered from scilinks.org.
