Hope you all had a happy and restful Thanksgiving. We are going to pick up right where we left off...PHOTOSYNTH#ESIS.Tuesday we will discuss the why and how for each of the light cycle steps and do the same for the light independent on Tuesday. A work sheet will wrap us up and hopefully reinforce any concepts that are still fuzzy.
Thursday and Friday will be respiration discussion with a lab tossed in for good measure.
AP BIOLOGY
We are smack dab in the middle of our evolution topic. Tuesday we will talk about Hardy Weinberg and learn how to apply the concept to a population. Wed will be a fishy lab that supports H.W.there will be a practice problem sheet and lots of calculations and graphing.Sounds like fun doesn't it? Thursday looks like lecture on behaviors and a lab if there is time.If not the lab shifts to Friday.

We are zipping through one of your favorite topics...Genetics. Monday we will lecture on probability of events and try some practice problems. Tuesday will be a test on PunnettSquares and Probability. Lecture is moving Beyond Classical Genetics into genes that don't follow the rules. This week we have one lab on DNA fingerprinting scheduled.

This week in 10th grade Biology we will begin the week by starting a lecture on meiosis. This will last over the first two days of the week. Monday will focus on the differences between mitosis and meiosis and Tuesday the students will receive information about the different processes that occur in males and females. Tuesday the students will receive a bell ringer to review the notes from the previous day. On Wednesday we will be moving on to talk a little bit about cancer and the processes that are affected by it. They will complete a computer WebQuest on cancer on that day and that should give them a good understanding of what goes on when cancer infects cells. On Thursday the teacher will finish with any additional material that is on the test. After that is done the students will compete for bonus points in a review game. Friday will be the test that will include the information on cancer, mitosis and meiosis.

Our week starts with a bang...cell test Monday. From there and for the rest of the week we will explore the pathways of photosynthesis and respiration. Don't forget lab notebooks are due on Wednesday with all 4 cell labs completed. They must include conclusions.

This week in 10th grade Biology we will begin the week by going over the test the students took last week. After we go over the test on Tuesday we will wrap up the topic with a 30 minute video wrap up. The students will be starting a similar topic to what we did the past few weeks... Mitosis is the reproduction of one cell into two daughter cells with the same genetic material. Students will learn about this process and the other processes that can influence it in a thing called the cell cycle. The cell cycle is basically tells us each step the cell takes to replicate itself. Over the first two days of the week the students will be lectured about mitosis and the cell cycle. They will be provided with materials to help them with studying this material along with ample opportunities to show comprehension of the material (class work and bell ringers). The students will be lectured on Thursday as well, but the topic will be expanded to talk more about the limitations of cell division, cancer and checkpoints in the cell cycle. Friday will be used as a laboratory day to investigate mitosis and the different steps that are able to be viewed under the microscope.Worksheets and lab due at the end of the week.

Biology
This will be Mr Millers site for the next few weeks. As you know you will be working with cells this week. Lecture is planned for Monday (which may be the only good day weather wise) If we have school tuesday lecture will continue and a work sheet will support what you have learned. Lab is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. It is a microscope lab that will start with Hooke and cork and work to view specific organelles. Quiz and lab reports are due on Friday.
AP Biology Sorry but you are going to be smacked with a double period organic chem lecture to start our wek. I really don't think we will be here Tuesday or Wednesday so we need to stay ahead. Quiz will either be tomorrow or the next day we are together. Lab will follow probably 2 days.
