BIOLOGY...
Wow that vacation certainly flew by! Here we are back again and anxious to begin working with classification keys. Tuesday we will lecture and work through a prepared dicotomous key. Wednesday we will make our own key for the rare "button/noodle"critters. Thursday notes again on cladograms with a practice clade. Friday will start with a QUIZ and end with a review worksheet.
AP Bio...
Once again we will revisit gregor Mendel and Punnett Squares. Sorry to you folks in biotech. I'm confident that all of you have had lots of practice solving squares so we will only use Wednesday for practice. Thursday we will explore some unusual genetic situations in lecture. These break all of Mendels fundamental rules. Friday as per your request we will have our Punnett square Quiz.and finish notes.

Hopefully everyone has studied for todays test on fossils. It is all multiple choice so that should help. Our next topic is the science of classification...Taxonomy. I know it is mean but we will lecture history of classification tomorrow and Wed. No quiz or homework this week.
Ap Bio...we are continuing with DNA discussion. Monday will be lecture on mutations.we will move into Punnett squqres for Tuesday and end our short week with a quiz on DNA.
Happy Thanksgiving Everone! I'm thankful that you amazing biological wizards all are a part of my life.

week of 11/15/10
Biology,
Hey Guys, it's almost Thanksgiving vacation...we can do it! This week will be spent wrapping up Evolution and fossils. By Tuesday everyone will have all notes for Fridays test. Wednesday and Thursday will be the wrap lab The most Intelligent Mammal. We will test to see if humans are the smartist animals. Thursday at least half the class will be for test review so start studying!
AP Bio,
DNA molecular structure,replication and protein synthesis will take us through to vacation.
Each day will be a little lecture followed by worksheet, lab, etc. I want to have a test before vacation so stay current with your work. Good news is no lab reports!

Week of 11/8/10
Biology
Monday will start our week with a lecture. We will introduce types of fossils and how they form. This will be followed up with a 2 day fossil lab that really is an eye opener. Thursday we will lecture fossil dating and work on a lab that demonstrates radioactive decay. Friday we will introduce geologic time and the break down of earths history. All labs for the week are due Friday. No quiz this week!
AP BIOLOGY
Monday will be a full day of lecture. Plan on covering binary fission and Meiosis. If there is time we will check cell cycle worksheets.Tuesday we will wrap u Meiosis with crossing over and differences in men and women. Test is scheduled for Thursday. Our next topic is Genetics so we will explore history of, composition and replication for the doulbe helix. Possible movie for Friday on Photo 51.

Week of November 1 2010
BIOLOGY
In order to give you a chance to bring the grades up...we will review Monday and have a test on the origin of life and evolutionary theories on Tuesday. Study the crossword and notes we took in class.
We are smack dab in the middle of a topic so it will continue as part of the new marking period. Both Earths geologic time scale and fossils have a lot of hands on activities. Most of them can be completed during class. Stay current or else it will be overwhelming!
AP Biology. After Tuesdays test we will leave photosynthesis and respiration behind and move into the more familiar topics of the cell cycle and meiosis. I would like the photosynthesis and respiration labs turned in by Friday this week.
