Biology

Greetings!

Term II was over and I'm still waiting for my exam results. I would like to share what have I learned for this 3 months in Biology. After learning about Reproduction in plants in the first term, we proceed to the next chapter, Reproduction in Humans. As you know, I really enjoy learning Biology. Biology has been part of my life. In this chapter, we learned both Male reproductive system and Female Reproductive System, parts of them and function of every part.

Now I know that each male have 2 testes and each testis produces sperms and male hormones Testosterone. The male hormones are responsible for the development and maintenance of the secondary sexual characteristic in males.While in female, eggs was produced by ovaries and produces hormones such as Progesterone and Oestrogen. These hormones are also responsible for the development and maintenance of the secondary sexual characteristic in females.

Besides that, we also learned about Heredity, and were making our "Family Heredity" in A4 paper. That's all for Biology.

French

Greetings!

I would like to tell you about our French subject. I remembered when I was grade 7, I preferred to join France because I'm really interested with it. Besides that, it's quite easy to learn. And the most important reason why I preferred French is because, I really wish to visit France, especially Paris one day.

Since I was on the 9th grade, I've been learning so many things. Clothes in France language, names of rooms at our own house and we're also learning some grammars. We were taught how to make short paragraph and how to describe our own house. There are also some activities. One of it was interviewing our new French student (one of my classmates). We were allow to asked anything, with one rules ; we should ask in France language. 

Anyway, even though I've got some struggles in learning France, I enjoy it a lot. And I believe, one day it would be useful in the future. 

Best regards,

Biology

Hi readers!

I've been sitting on the 9th grade since 2 months ago and I still can't believe that we're going to face UN (national exam). So here we go, our first chapter on Biology was Reproduction of Plants. I enjoy learning this topic because I really love things that connected to nature.

We've been learning about parts of plants, asexual production and sexual production, different kinds of pollination, and even how it reproduce. This lesson will be so important for me in the future, in case if I would like to have gardens with different kinds of plants, later. As well as, we're also having practical activities. We have a look of the yellow bell specimen and orchid specimen with the help of microscope.

Besides that, we're told to plant, some kinds of plant with asexual reproduction. I and my group were planting garlic. We've started planting since 29 Aug, and observes it every day. So far, it has grown, but unfortunately some of the sprout died because of over water. From this experiment, I learned that responsibility is really needed for a science students. Because without responsibility, our experiment won’t be succeed. Anyway, our Biology teacher was also taking our practical assessment based on the report of our plants.

 We'll always need biology in our life. Keep learning and exploring!

Best regards,
