Early theories of evolution will start our fun filled weektrying to make sense of the various ideas as to how different forms of life began.. Each days notes will be followed by supporting worksheets and/ or lab activities all of which will be due the day following the activity. That means anything not finished during class becomes a homework assignment. Monday Worksheet;Charles Darwin, TuesdayLab Grasping the idea of Evolution Wednesday/Thursday Lab The most intelligent mammal. Our evolution quiz will be Thursday. Be sure to study!

Well you all survived "CYCLES" and can breathe a sigh of relief as we move into the more familiar topics of classical genetics. I'm planning a quiz for Tuesday just on Punnett so you can wow me with your square skills! Wednesdays Lecture will cover both classical outcomes of and genetic oddities associated with heredity. Thursday we turn our attention to DNA for at least 4 days we will delve into the mysteries of DnA including, but not limited to, replication and Synthesis,the steps that take us from DNA to protein. Bet you can't wait!

Hope you enjoyed the fossil activities from last week ...because we have more to look forward to this week. YAHOO!Once we leave fossils behind we'll be moving into evolution theories, patterns, and supports.These topics also have several activities. Since these are new activities I really can't judge how long they will take to complete so I'll let you know throughout the week when specifiic things are due.Quiz will be Thursday and that will be the end of grades for the 1st marking period.
AP BIOLOGY
The worst is almost over...only anaerobic respiration to cover. We'll complete this unit Monday review and quiz on Tuesday. I'd like the seed lab and the 2 photosynthesis by Wed. So i have a chance to mark them before grades are due.Evolution is our next major topic starting with lecture on Wednesday. Generally easier topics with several fun activities...something to look forward to.

Well we made it through our lecture on photosynthesis. I hope everyone survived. Monday we will check our worksheets to make sure everyone is on the same page.We will also set up a lab on oxygen production in spinach. It's a sloppy one so be ready. QUIZ is Tuesday after which we will lecture variations in photosynthesis, read lab results and clean up. Wednesdays lecture will focus on introducing aerobic respiration with accompanying worksheets. Thursday we will set up lab on seed respiration and we will end the week reading lab results and lecturing anaerobic respiration. TEST the 27?
BIOLOGY
This week we move our focus from cells to the origin of life.Mondays lecture will cover theories ranging from Creation to spontaneous generation.We will apply what we learn to a reading strategy to finish class.Tuesday we will focus on the fossil record as a support for evolution...looking at how they form, types and dating techniques. Our supporting activity is on radioactive decay and it will probly become a homework assignment if we don't finish in class.
WED will be a QUIZ after which we will discuss the Geologic Time Scale and start our Evolutionary time line. This activity will take all day Friday and probably beyond.

This is the week that will test both your nerves and determination. Our topics are the cycles of photosynthesis and respiration. Good tthing you have a long weekend to rest up! Wed. we will read our chromatography results and lecture on the Calvin cycle. Thursday will be a photosynthesis lab. It's a sloppy on so be prepared. Friday we will have a photosynthesis QUIZ , read lab results and clean up!
Biology
Now that our cell portfolios are done we just have 1 more cell topic... The cell cycle. Wed. and Thurs. we will spend in lab working with the microscope to identify the stages of the cell cycle in onion root tips. Thursday will also be a quiz on those stages. Friday we will discuss when the cell cycle goes wrong and the problems that result. Worksheets are also due Friday!

AP BIOLOGY.
This week we are wrapping up our study of cells. enzymes as catalysts will be our final topic with "Mr. enzyme to the rescue" lab.Lab notebooks are due for Friday with the 5 cell related reports. Tuesday we will jeopardy review and Wednesday will be our test. Thursday we will introduce PHOTOSYNTHESIS... one of the toughest topics of the year so be prepared! Lecture material is difficultbut the numbers of lab reports will drop for the time being.
BIOLOGY
We are going to wrap up our discussion on chapter 3 cells with a lecture on Active transport. A transport quiz will be given on Wednesday so be ready. Cell portfolios are to be handed in on Thursday they count as a test score so be sure they are done with care and attention to detail. We will begin cell division processes later this week.
