Week of 12/7/09

BIOLOGY
We've finished our discussion of Taxonomy and you know what that means....TEST time!
I'm planning Jeopardy review for Monday and test for Tuesday. Be ready it's a killer!
Wednesday will start our new(and one of my favorites ) topics bacteria and virus. My goal is to finish with this topic before Christmas break so we have to move quickly. Three days of lecture (power point)will be needed to get ready for our bacterial growth lab.Prepare yourselves! We will culture our plates Friday so they have the weekend to grow and Monday 12/13 should start our lab!

AP BIOLOGY
We will use this week to finish our discussion of Natural Selection. Lecture will focus on evolution of behavior and we have one more lab on Tuesday to support our topic. Hopefully your lab notebooks are up to date or you are going to be overwhelmed on Friday when you notebooks are due! There will be 4 labs graded...Biochemical Evidence, Origami Birds,Fishy Frequencies, and and Beaks of Finches. All require Conclusions! I'm planning review for Thursday and Test for Friday. Start studying early there's a lot of info!
