This week we are continuing our discussion of DNA . We will look at the processes of transcription and translation and how protiens decide our traits. This can be found in chapter 9 of the text book as well as in your notebooks. We will have a quiz this week on Tuesday. Activities are in class and will only be home work if not finished in class.

Welcome to the third marking period. Wow this year is going fast! As you know our third marking period is focused on genetics. This week we will introduce that topic with DNA...history,and makeup In class we will be working with orgami models of DNA as we cover replication, transcription and translation. Quiz will be Thursday this week.

Bacteria is one of my favorite topics to teach. I hope you enjoyed our culturing activity and discussions. Your labs must be completed and turned in today.We will complete bacteria lecture on Monday with a quiz on Tuesday. I plan on starting right in with VIRUS as our next topic...2 days of lecture should cover the topic well. So we are looking at review on Friday and test Monday 12/21 We will be able to squeeze one more topic in after Christmas before exams..
AP BIOLOGY
We will be ending our discussions of bacteriology and virology with a look at the bodies defenses against disease...the imune system. 2 days of Lecture, worksheets and movie will get us through Wedenesday. So reviewing on Thursday and Testing for Friday is my plan of the moment.

This week we will wrap up the study of Taxonomy. Our quiz is scheduled for Wednesday.We have to complete lecture on the development of the kingdoms and interpreting cladograms. A worksheet activity on cladograms will be due for Friday. Next week ,Monday, will be jeopardy review and crossword. Which means test will be Tuesday. So plan ahead and start studying.

Isn't evolution a fascinating topic? Our class discussions have been great! I appreciate your enthusiasm. We will broaden our topic to now include ...what constitutes a species and how behaviors influence patterns of evolution. We have one more lab...probably for Thursday which brings our 2 lecture topics to life. I'm planning a TEST for next Tuesday and will collect lab notebooks before break. Be sure to have a conclusion as well as analysis questions for each!

WEEK OF NOVEMBER 10
BIOLOGY
This week starts off with our big unit test on Chapter 11. Hopefully everyone will wow me with their knowledge. I'm planning on starting our new topic ...Classification on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday we will work with a scientific classification tool called the "dicotomous key". There is a lab and a worksheet due on this topic for Friday. We will finish off the week researching cladograms and evolutionary trees. No tests or quizzes this week!
AP BIOLOGY.
We will be moving into our new topic of Natural selection. Starting Monday with Intro lecture and lab..Biochemical evidence in supprt of evolution. Lots of labs this week mixed in with our lectures. Orgami birds will demonstrate survival of the fittest, and fishy frequencies will explain why recessive traits aren't lost from a population. No tests this week but I will collect notebook next Monday.
