Late Start Day!

Hope you enjoyed the little bit of extra time this morning :)

Today we will

• Do another Kahoot about cell parts and their function
• Set up another yeast experiment (click here for directions)
• Maybe have time to read the "background information" about yeast in preparation to set up a white board for an argumentation session about yeast.

Should a virus be classified as a living thing?

First, we are going to "kahoot" about cell parts and their function.

Then, an argumentation session about viruses.  Use the information below (including the link to the PDF) to make a claim about the question "Should a virus be classified as a living thing?"

You will create a whiteboard with the essential question, the claim, evidence and justification.

Table -- "Information about viruses and other objects found on Earth"
