We will begin officially reviewing for the EOG. Students will receive questions for warm up every day to start class and will receive a warm up class grade for a total of 10 points per week. Mrs. Barbour ordered our EOG coach books last week and they should be arriving some time this week.
Our new chapter is about exposure to chemicals. We will explore acute versus chronic exposure to chemicals, how chemicals enter our body through inhalation, ingestion, and absorption, and the difference between dose and concentration. We will discuss the threshold and potency of chemicals, and individual susceptibility based on factors such as age, gender, and lifestyle. Students will learn about chemical exposure through discussion of common chemicals in poison ivy, fried chicken, and vinegar. They will also explore chemicals they are probably not as familiar with such as dioxins, DDT, and mercury. Please note I am being quite strict about homework, and students will receive a detention slip to stay after school Wednesday if they do not complete Tuesday night's study guide homework.
Homework for the week:
Monday night: Study guide of pg. 343 words: definitions and examples (no examples for FDA, EPA, and toxicologists), pg. 343-344 Multiple choice #1-9
Tuesday: pg. 354 Review #1-3, Reflect #1-2
Wednesday: Homework: continue the study guide of words in bold in the text from exposure to metabolism
Thursday: Fill in the chart completely with two other chemicals of your choice. The first two chemicals were completed in class as model examples.
