This week in 10th grade Biology we will begin the week by starting a lecture on meiosis. This will last over the first two days of the week. Monday will focus on the differences between mitosis and meiosis and Tuesday the students will receive information about the different processes that occur in males and females. Tuesday the students will receive a bell ringer to review the notes from the previous day. On Wednesday we will be moving on to talk a little bit about cancer and the processes that are affected by it. They will complete a computer WebQuest on cancer on that day and that should give them a good understanding of what goes on when cancer infects cells. On Thursday the teacher will finish with any additional material that is on the test. After that is done the students will compete for bonus points in a review game. Friday will be the test that will include the information on cancer, mitosis and meiosis.

Our week starts with a bang...cell test Monday. From there and for the rest of the week we will explore the pathways of photosynthesis and respiration. Don't forget lab notebooks are due on Wednesday with all 4 cell labs completed. They must include conclusions.

Week of 2/22/11
Biology
This week in 10th grade Biology we will begin the week by going over the test the students took last week. After we go over the test on Tuesday we will wrap up the topic with a 30 minute video wrap up. The students will be starting a similar topic to what we did the past few weeks... Mitosis is the reproduction of one cell into two daughter cells with the same genetic material. Students will learn about this process and the other processes that can influence it in a thing called the cell cycle. The cell cycle is basically tells us each step the cell takes to replicate itself. Over the first two days of the week the students will be lectured about mitosis and the cell cycle. They will be provided with materials to help them with studying this material along with ample opportunities to show comprehension of the material (class work and bell ringers). The students will be lectured on Thursday as well, but the topic will be expanded to talk more about the limitations of cell division, cancer and checkpoints in the cell cycle. Friday will be used as a laboratory day to investigate mitosis and the different steps that are able to be viewed under the microscope.Worksheets and lab due at the end of the week.

We have covered all our lecture material on cells. There are still 2 more labs focusing on enzymes. Specifically catalase That will be done Wed and Thursday. Friday will be a review reinforcement day with Cell Test scheduled for next Monday 2/28.

This week in Bio the class will begin by finishing the potato lab we started on Friday. Wait till you see how the potatoes have changed!The finished report on diffusion will be due Tuesday. Lecture for the week will cover our remaining transport topics . We are scheduled for our chapter test Friday so we will spend at least 2 days reviewing the parts of cells, theories and transport. Start studying a litle each night....there is a lot of material.
AP Biology
Monday will finish lecture on cellular organelles. We will spend some time labeling plant and animal cells and completing a reinforcement worksheet. Tuesday is the fractionation lab.Wednesday will be lecture on passive transport and set up of the osmosis activity. Results and calculations for this lab will be completed on Thursday. Friday 's lecture on active transport will include the dreaded sodium potassium pump so be prepared.

We will start our week finishing our lab on organelles and cells. Before the end of class
we will review in prep for tomorrow's QUIZ. On Tuesday, the students will have the quiz and then complete any parts of the lab that hasn't been finished to date.Lab report will be due Wednesday and must be finished for homework. Wednesday, after labs have been collected, students will have a chance to get creative working on an advertisement about cells. This is the last part of the cell folder. Completed folder project is due Friday. On Thursday lecture on the transport process of cells will begin and carry into Friday.Before the end of class Friday we will set up an osmosis lab using potato....results will be read on Monday next week.
AP Biology
Monday will be a work day with a worksheet on organic chem. There is also time to work on lab reports from the polymer labs. Our First test, chapters 1-3 will be Wednesday. Tuesday will start our new topic...Cells. We will start with theories on cell origins, work through organellelles, transport and reproduction. There are 4 labs that go with the topic. so we will be busy. Have a good week!

This will be Mr Millers site for the next few weeks. As you know you will be working with cells this week. Lecture is planned for Monday (which may be the only good day weather wise) If we have school tuesday lecture will continue and a work sheet will support what you have learned. Lab is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. It is a microscope lab that will start with Hooke and cork and work to view specific organelles. Quiz and lab reports are due on Friday.
AP Biology Sorry but you are going to be smacked with a double period organic chem lecture to start our wek. I really don't think we will be here Tuesday or Wednesday so we need to stay ahead. Quiz will either be tomorrow or the next day we are together. Lab will follow probably 2 days.

We are finishing off virus with Mondays lecture. Tuesday wil;l be the topic test...50 points and the first for the new marking period. As of Wednesday Mr Miller will be taking over the class and introducing cells. He will be trying a web quest, something new for us on the topic. No labs or home work just yet.
AP BIOLOGY
We are well under way having covered themes and properties of water. Monday will be our first lab. Make sure you have your notebooks. we will move through, osmosis and pH both of which have coresponding activities. Remember to stay current or things will get overwhelming.

Bet you are glad exams are over. I sure am! Now we can start fresh working toward the final. This week we will focus on Virus. Tuesday-Thursday will be lecture. Friday we will work on an activity called "Pinks Disease" it's an epidemic. Finished lab report will be due on Monday the 24th. There will be a quiz then as well.
AP BIOLOGY....
Welcome second 1/2! We will hit the ground running lecture will start on Wednesday. We will cover themes in Biology and properties of water by the end of the week. Please make sure you have a binder and a lab notebook. Our first lab on properties of water will be due on Friday.
