Week of MArch 2, 2009

BIOLOGY
By now you are all Punnett square experts...I hope. Monday this week will be our Punnett square review(square races). Tuesday is test day. The remainder of the week will focus on humans as subjects for genetic study. We will cover twins, blood typing, and family pedigrees. I'm planning a quiz on that material for Friday. We will have several activities throughout the week that may require finishing at home.

AP BIOLOGY
Last Friday wrapped up our discussion on cells. That means we are ready for a review and Test Monday and Tuesday this week. Following the review Monday there should be some time for independent study and/or lab completion. Notebooks will be collected Wednesday and should include: Coacervates, cell structures, cell fractionation, and both enzyme activities. The enzyme lab needs a conclusion as well as analysis questions. Our next topic will be energy pathways, respiration and photosynthesis. These are the 2 toughest topics of the year so stay on top of things.
