Week of 2/7/16

Snow days Monday and Tuesday have set us back a little so here is the new improved schedule for the week.

Short week this week with a lot to cover...
Academic Biology- Wednesday and Thursday you will have time in class to work on your Karyotype project. I would like the completed map and research to be handed in for Friday. Friday will be a review worksheet on DNA with Jeopardy review for Monday and Test Tuesday 2/23.
AP Biology- Our focus is the cell and transport processes. Lecture all day Wednesday. Thursday there is a field trip but those left behind will have an prganelle worksheet. Any remaining time can be used for cell research. Friday we will complete active transport lecture and surface area to volume ratio of cells. Followed by an activity.
Bio II Wednesday Lecture supports for evolution. Friday will be nuttall Precipitation lab.
