Vacation is just a few short days away...but we have tons to finish up...Monday is lab day. We will finish with our bacteria cultures by measuring zones of inhibition and Gram staining.The analysis questions will be collected on tuesday. Tuesday is our review day for wednesdays test on bacteria.. Thursday is a short day and we will play biology scategories if time permits. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAs and enjoy the break. When you come back we will start reviewing for the midterm exam.
AP bio...
Whose comming to dinner on Monday. remember your presentations! Tuesday is our topic test on Natural Selection. I don't have anything planned for Wednesday since most of you will be playing dodge ball. Have a good one!

week of December 13, 2010
Biology...Christmas is fast approaching. Between now and then we will be working with bacteria in both lab and lecture. We wil cover such topics as how to grow, name,and kill the bacteria finding out along the way if products live up to their antibacterial claims. It should be an eye opener. Bacterial quis isscheduled for Friday andTest will be next Wedneday(yes I know that's mean) Lab Report will be due next Monday.
AP BIOLOGY.... We are trying to finish Natural selection before break so this week will be loaded with both labs and lectures but no tests. I'm saving the test for Tuesday next week as agreed upon. Notebooks will also be due before Christmas. All I have to do is get the blasted elves moving!

Week of 12/5/2010
Happy Monday to you all.
Cladistics...What is it? We will find this week. Lecture Monday. Practice sheet Tuesday with test review on Wednesday. I won't be here for the review so you are on your own for Thursdays test. There isn't a lot of material and it is pretty easy. Many of you need a good grade. Interims go out on. Friday we start our new topic of Bacteria.

Wow that vacation certainly flew by! Here we are back again and anxious to begin working with classification keys. Tuesday we will lecture and work through a prepared dicotomous key. Wednesday we will make our own key for the rare "button/noodle"critters. Thursday notes again on cladograms with a practice clade. Friday will start with a QUIZ and end with a review worksheet.
AP Bio...
Once again we will revisit gregor Mendel and Punnett Squares. Sorry to you folks in biotech. I'm confident that all of you have had lots of practice solving squares so we will only use Wednesday for practice. Thursday we will explore some unusual genetic situations in lecture. These break all of Mendels fundamental rules. Friday as per your request we will have our Punnett square Quiz.and finish notes.

Hopefully everyone has studied for todays test on fossils. It is all multiple choice so that should help. Our next topic is the science of classification...Taxonomy. I know it is mean but we will lecture history of classification tomorrow and Wed. No quiz or homework this week.
Ap Bio...we are continuing with DNA discussion. Monday will be lecture on mutations.we will move into Punnett squqres for Tuesday and end our short week with a quiz on DNA.
Happy Thanksgiving Everone! I'm thankful that you amazing biological wizards all are a part of my life.

Biology,
Hey Guys, it's almost Thanksgiving vacation...we can do it! This week will be spent wrapping up Evolution and fossils. By Tuesday everyone will have all notes for Fridays test. Wednesday and Thursday will be the wrap lab The most Intelligent Mammal. We will test to see if humans are the smartist animals. Thursday at least half the class will be for test review so start studying!
AP Bio,
DNA molecular structure,replication and protein synthesis will take us through to vacation.
Each day will be a little lecture followed by worksheet, lab, etc. I want to have a test before vacation so stay current with your work. Good news is no lab reports!

Biology
Monday will start our week with a lecture. We will introduce types of fossils and how they form. This will be followed up with a 2 day fossil lab that really is an eye opener. Thursday we will lecture fossil dating and work on a lab that demonstrates radioactive decay. Friday we will introduce geologic time and the break down of earths history. All labs for the week are due Friday. No quiz this week!
AP BIOLOGY
Monday will be a full day of lecture. Plan on covering binary fission and Meiosis. If there is time we will check cell cycle worksheets.Tuesday we will wrap u Meiosis with crossing over and differences in men and women. Test is scheduled for Thursday. Our next topic is Genetics so we will explore history of, composition and replication for the doulbe helix. Possible movie for Friday on Photo 51.
