Week of 2/23/15

Biology- This week we are wrapping up DNA and moving into the study of genetics. Looks like it will be our fist full week in awhile...Monday-Jeopardy review for test, Tuesday- DNA test...if there is a delay test will shift to Wednesday so you have enough time to finish it. Wednesday-Lecture early theories on where offspring come from. Thursday introduce punnett squares with practice problems and Friday we will start a coin toss lab using Punnett square to determine probability. AP Biology- we are working with cells, parts and functions. Between Monday and Tuesday we will finish off our discussion with active and passive transport. We will spend part of Tuesday reviewing for our test which is scheduled for Wednesday. We will then move into photosynthesis and respiration, 2 of the most difficult topics of the year.

WEEK OF 2/9/15

BIOLOGY... Wow these last few weeks have been rough trying to keep things flowing. We are in the middle of our discussion of DNA and spent last week discussing protein synthesis. After Fridays quiz it is obvious that we aren't ready to move on so we will spend Monday reviewing where and how protein synthesis takes place. Tuesday we will have the opportunity to extract our own DNA and compare it to a strawberry. There are analysis questions with the activity which will be due on Wednesday. That will also be our optional re-quiz on on protein synthesis. We will close the week with lecture Wednesday and Thursday on mutations. AP biology... We are working through organic chemistry specifically enzymes. Friday left us in the middle of a lab that will be finished on Monday. The finished lab will be due Wednesday. We will finish enzyme lecture Tuesday and Wednesday. With a worksheet to reinforce enzymes. Id like to have an organic quiz Thursday this week if the schedule allows.
