BIOLOGY
Well, our discussions on evolution are a thing of the past ( HA HA ). Now it's time to impress me with what you have learned. Monday 11/16 will be Jeopardy review and Tuesday 11/17 is TEST DAY!!! Make use of the study guide I provided. Our new topic will be classification and will start with lecture on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday we will learn how to use dichotomous keys and actually make our own. Monday 11/23 is our trip to Body World a movie on classification awaits you and the luckey sub that will cover my classes that day. Tuesday and Wednesday we will lecture Cladograms while trying our hand a interpreting them.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING VACATION EVERYONE!

We have been working with the processes of replication, transcription and translation and are now ready for our test on thoses topics plus modern genetics/ biotechnology applications.
Monday 11/16 will be Jeopardy review and your opportunity to ask any questions you might have pertaining to Tuesdays big TEST. Evolution is our next topic and we will hit the ground running Wednesday with a lecture followed be a lab. This lecture / lab format will be used for the remainder of this week and next topics will include Biochemical evidence for evolution,Orgami Birds, Hardy Weinberg , and bird beaks. Good thing Thanksgiving break will give you an opportunity to get caught up on all your lab reports.!

Week of November 9, 2009
BIOLOGY
We ended last week looking at humans as the most evolved mammal. We have the opposable thumb lab to finish Monday before we move on to Charles Darwin and NATURAL SELECTION. This section has 2 labs that I think do a really good job demonstrating Natural selection in action.Completed lab reports will be due Tuesday,Wednesday and Friday for this weeks activities. Thursday looks like a good day for a QUIZ so be ready!
AP BIOLOGY
This week we go beyond Punnett Square and explore the make up of DNA. This by itself is quite an accomplishment but we aren't going to stop there. We will take the extra step and find how DNA ultimatelycopies itself and directs the cell in its' goal of protein production. Can you imagine how excited Mendel would have been to learn all this! Labs will include DNA extraction from cheek cells and somme paper model building to demonstrate replication, transcription and and translation.
