Congratulations to most of you on the good Punnett square test results. This week we are narrowing our genetic discussions to humans and will be lecturing on topics from family pedigrees to blood types. Quiz will be Tuesday this week.We will be working on a blood typing lab Wed and Thursday. report will be due on Friday. I am offering the possibility of extra credit in the form of a family pedigree due March 16th.

Well we are knee deep in photosynthesis to start our week. There is no easy way to learn the material it is DIFFICULT so stay on top of things and don't try to cram. Monday we will lecture the Calvin cycle and set up the Chromotography lab Tuesday we will read results and complete several worksheets. Wednesday we will have a photosynthesis quiz Thursday we will lecture respiration and Friday we will set up our respiration lab with results due to be read Tuesday 3/17.The big respiration/photosynthesis TEST will be Thursday 3/19

By now you are all Punnett square experts...I hope. Monday this week will be our Punnett square review(square races). Tuesday is test day. The remainder of the week will focus on humans as subjects for genetic study. We will cover twins, blood typing, and family pedigrees. I'm planning a quiz on that material for Friday. We will have several activities throughout the week that may require finishing at home.
AP BIOLOGY
Last Friday wrapped up our discussion on cells. That means we are ready for a review and Test Monday and Tuesday this week. Following the review Monday there should be some time for independent study and/or lab completion. Notebooks will be collected Wednesday and should include: Coacervates, cell structures, cell fractionation, and both enzyme activities. The enzyme lab needs a conclusion as well as analysis questions. Our next topic will be energy pathways, respiration and photosynthesis. These are the 2 toughest topics of the year so stay on top of things.

This week we are starting working with Punnett Squares. We will learn how we can turn traits into probability(everyone loves math). Unfortunately this is one of those topics that you are either really good at or NOT!!! Please try to be in class so you don"t miss any of the basics that will put you behind. We will be doing one in class activity later in the week with a report due by Friday. NO quizzes or tests are planned!
AP BIOLOGY
This week we will continue with Cells as our focus. We have to wrap up the coacervate lab on Tuesday...stay current with reports labs will be fast and furious over the next few days. I'm planning a 2 period lecture for Wednesday with wrap up on Thrusday. Thursday and Friday will be labs ...Organelles and Cell Fractionation.

Well the groundhog saw his shadow...6 more weeks of winter, there's a surprise. Our plan for the week is to complete chapter 9 lecture. We will look at Meiosis and the production of sperm and egg as well as mutations that can occur with their resulting conditions. Our quiz this week will be Thursday with writing prompt due Tuesday and karyotype activity due Friday.
AP BIOLOGY
This weeks focus will be organic chem and the production of polymers from monomers. Lab notebooks are to be handed in Monday. We will be working on a set of organic activities Wed and Thurs that will be due Mon Feb 9. There are several worksheets that will be assigned withWed as the due date.

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.
AP BIOLOGY
We are continuing our exploration of the properties of water that allow for life as we know it to exist. With each new lecture there will be a hands on reinforcement. These labs are to be recorded in your notebook as directed and ready to turn in by Monday Feb.2. We will check your 2 review sheets on Thursday so have them finished! Your first quiz is scheduled tentatively for Friday.

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.

Welcome to Ap Biology! This week will be primarily review. We will spend some time on characteristics of life, properties of water and basics of organic chem. There are several activities that go along with the lecture so be sure to have notebooks ready to go.

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a great vacation.Sadly this is last full week together...what a fast half of the year. In preparation for next Mondays Final exam we will be spending a lot of time reviewing. Please make use of the practice books I provided. I'll be out for jury duty at least Wednesday so don't waste time. We will jeopardy review Thursday and Friday if I"m back.
Biology
I bet you are sorry that we didn't take our bacteria/virus test before the holiday...but we didn't so that means we will have jeopardy review on Tuesday and our test Wednesday(even though I'll be at jury duty). Thursday and Friday will be spent getting ready for the mid tem which is Monday next week.
