Week of 4/10/17
Academic biology-All biology classes will begin the week with a lecture on supporting evidence for evolution. Lab on Natural selection is due today. Tuesday- Lecture will continue with a comparison of natural verses artificial selection. We will end the day with a reading strategy that supports our topic Wednesday will start with a quiz and continue with an in class activity challenging you to design an organism suited to live on my planet and write a 5x5 to convince me of it's "perfection". Thursday will be an in class work day...both the reading strategy and organism design will be due for the end of class Happy Easter.
AP Biology- Monday we will refresh our Punnett square skills with a practice sheet due Thursday. Tuesday we will learn a short cut method to squares. The additive and multiplicative rules and try some practice problems using the new techniques. Wednesday Chi Square will be introduced as a means of evaluating the validity of our probability results and Thursday we will try using Chi square in a simulated lab activity.

Week of 4/3/17
Academic Biology- Movie Genetics will wrap up our discussion of heredity and close the marking period. Tuesday we will begin our focus on evolution with a lecture on some early ideas as to how life began. Wednesday lecture what is evolution followed by a worksheet on Darwin that will be due Thursday. Thursday an activity on Natural Selection with report due Friday and Friday lecture supports for evolution.
APBiology- We will use Monday to finish off the respiration labs due Thursday. Tuesday QUIZ on respiration followed by lecture intro to DNA. Wednesday lecture on semi conservative replication followed by a lab on Meselson and Stahl which will be finished in class Thursday. We will also discuss gene regulation and review development on Thursday. Friday will be a one day review of Punnett squares with some practice problems.

Week of 3 27/17
Academic Biology...Sadly we are almost at the end of our work with genetics. We will wrap up Monday with a closing lecture( Don't forget the blood typing lab and ws on blood types is due today)We will spend Tuesday in Jeopardy Review and plan on Wednesday as TEST DAY! Thursday we will begin our new topic ... Evolution with a discussion on various theories on the origins of life. Friday we will focus on theories of Natural selection focusing on Charles Darwin.
Ap Bio- Monday we will complete our discussion of photosynthesis and we will Introduce respiration with a review of the structure of mitochondria. Tuesday will be a photosynthesis quiz followed by set up of a seed respiration lab. Wednesday lecture on aerobic respiration followed by reading lab results and clean up. completed report due Friday. Thursday lecture on muscle fatigue followed by a muscle fatigue activity that will takes us into Friday.

Week of 3/20/17
Academic Biology-
Welcome back after Stella! We are going to try to pick up just where we left off...How are human genetic studies done? We will start our Monday with some review of what we have covered so far. Then focus on Twin studies. There will be a reading strategy that goes along due for Tuesday. Tuesday we will introduce blood typing history in lecture. Wednesday we will focus lecture on Landsteiner and blood types there is a practice worksheet that goes along will be due Thursday. Thursday and Friday will be a blood typing lab with the report due Monday.
Ap Biology -
We are focused on photosynthesis and will look at the role of pigments in the light reaction. We will then try our luck with a pigment extraction activity that will allow the determining of reference fronts. We will read those results on Tuesday and work on our calculations. Wednesday we will be lecturing the light reaction and Thursday we will focus on the Calvin cycle. There will be a worksheet for reinforcement. Friday I'm feeling a quiz on development and intro to the electromagnetic spectrum.

Biology
This week we will continue our exploration of how humans are studied for their genetic traits. Monday and Tuesday we will focus on twin studies with a lecture. Wednesday we will introduce the history of blood typing lecture.
Thursday will be a worksheet using Punnet square to predict blood type and Friday will start our blood typing lab. All of this hinges on the impending "Mega Storm" forecast for tomorrow.

Week of 3/6/17
Academic Biology- We start our week with a Punnett square Test on Monday. As we leave pea plants behind our focus will shift to humans with Tuesdays lecture evaluating humans as subjects for genetic study. Wednesday we will lecture pedigrees and reinforce that topic with a worksheet for Thursday that will be due Friday. Friday we will investigate the hemophilia connection to the royal family with a RS that will be due Monday.
AP Biology Monday will begin with a discussion on the cell cycle in prokaryotic cells and follow up with a general overview of sexual verses asexual reproduction methods in plants, animals, fungus and bacteria. Lecture will carry over to Tuesday with hopefully some time to review for Wednesdays test on "cells". Thursday we will intro our new topic photosynthesis with an overview of the electromagnetic spectrum and the role of pigments in the food making process. Following lecture we wil set up a chromatography lab that will be used to determine Rf in class on Friday. Completed lab report will be due Wednesday of the following week.
