Week of March 8 2008

BIOLOGY
As I predicted most of you really enjoy Punnett squares and have gotten quite good at solving them.You'll have the opportunity to impress me with your skill in Tuesday's test.100 points up for grabs with 80 of them coming from squares. Wednesday we will start our lecture on Human genetics including twin types and blood types. Thursday will be another lecture on the history of blood types and their Punnett square connection. Followed up woth work sheets and labs that will take us through Friday. No quiz this week.

AP Biology
We are in the middle of our 2 toughest topics of the year.Hopefully I haven't lost anyone.
Monday we will lecture the Calvin Cycle and reinforce with a worksheet. Remember your Lab notebooks are due Tuesday! We will add another lab on Pigment extraction and Chromatography. Wednesday sounds like a good Quiz day lecture on unusual photosynthesis situations...C3/C4 plants and cyclic/noncylic processes.Thursday we will set up a respiration lab and intro respiration in lecture. Friday we will record lab results and graph our results.
