Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology
(ARVO) Field Trip Information
Tuesday, April 29
We are meeting in room 363 at 7:45am and leaving to go to the bus ramp from there.
Do not be late to school just because we have a field trip!
We are going to the Broward Convention Center via SBBC school bus. We will leave between 8:00 and 8:30am from the bus ramp near the west teacher parking lot.
We are going to the ARVO (Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology) convention. This is Monarch's second year participating.
The bus driver may be late in picking us up since she has to drop off students at other schools first. When we get to the convention center, we will be greeted by Dr. JP Keener, SBBC Supervisor of Science Curriculum and Instruction and then meet in general session with other schools. Next, we will be divided into several groups and taken through the exhibit hall to view the research displays.
We come back into the meeting room for a Q and A then have lunch before heading home. (....at least this is the plan)
We will get back around 1 or 1:30pm because the bus driver usually has to pick up for elementary school dismissal.
Students should dress nicely; no shorts, torn jeans, etc. Students have the option of bringing their own lunch or buying the food at the convention center. If you choose to purchase food at the center, you may need between $10-15.00 for a sandwich, pizza, etc. and a beverage. Last year we ran late and had to buy food in a hurry then eat on the way back to school.
This is not a trip to Disney. Although the trip will be a an enjoyable break from our daily routine, do not to expect to be entertained or have fun and play games. This is an opportunity for you to get away from campus and experience another side of science in the "real world."
You are expected to be knowledgeable about the anatomy and physiology of the eye and be able to ask questions (intelligent) about the eye.
Your behavior should be exemplary!

It refers to the clogging of the artery.
Hypertension, also known as the "silent killer", affects African Americans more often than any other ethnic group. The initial hypothesis pegged it as a trait inherent to indigenous people of Africa. This theory proved to be incorrect since Africans actually have low blood pressure in comparison to their distant African-American relatives.
Research this topic to identify the new hypothesis then answer the question below.
Hint:
It is not directly related to stress or diet but instead has been tied to the journey through the "Middle Passage", "survival of the fittest", and sodium chloride.
- Why does hypertension affect African Americans in disproportionate numbers?

A word to absent students:
Students who are habitually absent do not perform well academically in anatomy and physiology classes.
You need to come to school everyday. If absenteeism continues to be a concern, I will begin calling parents.
You may also be given work to do to compensate for the concepts/science review questions that were missed on the day of absence. Before you ask the question, "Can she do this?", the answer is, "Yes, I can."
You are also missing your SAT "Word of the Day" and your science vocabulary!
FCAT Writes (10th grade) on Tuesday, February 12
This is also a Professional Study Day and school ends early @11:40am.
Please continue to refer to the objectives from week 3 (see below). There are still more concepts that we need to cover. These concepts are shown with an asterisk (*) in the week 3 objectives.
Because this is a short week, only 4 days due to testing, we will work really hard to get each of these concepts covered by week's end.
Expect an assessment on Friday, 02/15, and a few quizzes at the top of the hour each day on the previous day's concepts.

Introduction to Class Power Point Presentation
A Message from Mrs Bond-Jackson
With sadness, I will soon hear the dismissal bell ring and watch another great group of students exit room 363 for the last time.
As with all of my students, I have grown attached to you and my heart is sad to watch you go. But leave you must for there are many more adventures to be had, many more milestones to reach and many more lessons to learn. It is my hope that I have served you well on this leg of your incredible journey. I pray that I have not failed to deliver to you an experience worthy of your time and effort. I hope that the knowledge you have gained is tucked safely away in your storehouse of memories.
Even more important than the knowledge of anatomy and physiology are the life lessons that I have endeavored to teach, one tidbit at a time, on the apex of my "soapbox". As you travel throughout your life, may they be a beacon of light when darkness prevails. May they guide you in your decision as you meander the obstacle course that certainly lies ahead. May you always know your incalculable worth and value as a human being on the planet. May you never compromise where compromising would cause you to be devalued. May you fight for your beliefs and holdfast to your dreams. May you follow those dreams to the end of the rainbow as you search for your pot 'o gold. May you always know that you are the smartest person you will ever meet. May you always respect, honor, and value the right of others to disagree. May you be willing to say, "I am sorry" when the need arises. May you always be safe.
Finally, I have high hopes for each of you. Your future is brighter than the brightest star. I know that I have told you that, armed with your knowledge of anatomy, you must aspire to become a member of the medical profession. But as you well know, your career choice is a personal one and totally up to you ....and perhaps your parents if they are paying for college. : ) However, please know that no matter what you aspire to do in your life you must first seek to be happy and fulfilled in doing it. If you are happy, you will more than likely be very good at it and you will be duly rewarded.
So I say to you as you prepare to file out of 363 and meander down the hallways of life, I will miss you!
Mrs Bond-Jackson
P. S. I must also ask you to thank your parents for me. They have been a backbone of support this year. I have had a very pleasurable experience as your teacher because your parents have supported me through positive emails, productive parent conferences, attendance at Open House, nifty notes, and pleasant phone calls. I also appreciate their "gentle touch" in pushing you to get the work completed and handed in on time.
