week of 10/24/16

Academic Biology We are underway with our study of cells and cellular processes. Everyone has been assigned a portfolio due Monday November 14th. Remember it counts as a test grade and more assignments will be added each week so please don't fall behind! No better way to start the week than with a full period lecture on cellular organelles! I can hardly wait. Tuesday we will finish any lecture as needed and start our cell lab cellular organelles. Lab will continue through Thursday. Report will be due by the end of class Friday. There will also be a QUIZ and a worksheet for Friday as well. The worksheet will be due Monday 10/31.AP Bio MONDAY LECTURE INTRO TO CELLULAR RESPIRATION. focus ON ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION FOLLOWED BY MUSCLE FATIGUE LAB. Tuesday lECTURE AEROBIC RESPIRATION FOLLOWED BY SET UP OF SEED RESPIRATION LAB. Wednesday read seed lab results and complete muscle fatigue lab. Thursday work sheet cellular respiration. Friday quiz respiration

Week of 10/17/16

Only 2 weeks left in the first marking period! Hard to believe how quickly time is going. Academic Biology is finishing up with organic topic. Monday there will be time to finish the enzyme lab started Friday. Report will be due on Wednesday because there is a test on Tuesday and you will need Monday night to study. Wednesday we will lecture in class intro to cells and Thursday will be a research assignment cell timeline. The finished timeline will be due next week. Friday lecture cellular organelles.

Week of 10/11/16

Academic Biology
Lecture proteins and enzymes. Anything we don't finish on Tuesday will be completed on Wednesday and followed up with a worksheet That will be due Thursday. Thursday will be a Lab day "Mr enzyme to the Rescue" it's a messy on and it smells something to look forward to. Completed lab report will be due Friday. Friday we will wrap up organic Chemistry and prep for Mondays test.
AP Biology- We start our week with a quiz on the cell cycles including mitosis, meiosis and binary fission. If there is time we will begin lecture on the electromagnetic spectrum leading into our focus for the week Photosynthesis. It's a tough one! Wednesday will be lecture leaving time to set up a lab on chromatography of leaf pigments. Thursday no one will be in class because of the Renaissance Faire so we will read lab results and work on calculations on Friday.
