Wow is it hard to schedule with all this wild weather...but I'll try to give you an idea of what to expect. Biology- DNA is our topic this week, you have the background already including discovery and structure now we are getting into processes of replication and protein synthesis. Monday- Lab on DNA extraction with analysis questions due Tuesday. Tuesday Lecture Replication...study for Quiz tomorrow. Wed-DNA Quiz...worksheet DNA due Thursday Thursday-Lecture protein synthesis Friday activity Protein Synthesis AP Bio Well we are off and running only 89 days to go. This week we will be working on properties of water and organic molecules Monday- continue lecture on water properties to pH- Complete water lab report due Wednesday along with research questions. Tuesday-Lecture pH followed up with property of water worksheet Wednesday- Red cabbage Lab.Report due, in lab notebook, Friday Thursday-Quiz properties of water Intro Organic Chem lecture Friday lecture Carbs and lipids...start polymer lab.

GOOD LUCK ON EXAMS EVERYONE!

Week of 12/16/2013

This week we will finish photosynthesis and begin cellulr respiration.Sadly we won't have enough timeto finish the topic before break so we will have to wait for our test until we get back. Monday-TEST photosynthesis Tuesday-lecture anaerobic respiration make up tests as needed Wednesday- Lab anaerobic respiration Thursday finish lab report Friday biology scategories...Merry Christmas! AP Biology- This week we are continuing our discussion of evolution. You have 2 lab reports due Thursday. One on beaks of finches and the other on fishy frequency. Thursday is also the day we will have a quiz on populations and evolution. Monday in class we will start to work on the skits which will be presented on Friday. Look whose coming to dinner.

With stage identification and calculation of time spent in phase. These are due Wednesday. Wednesday -Lecture "When the cell cycle goes wrong" followed by a reading strategy on cancer. Thursday-Lecture- Comparison of the cell cycle and Meiosis. Check cell cycle worksheets Friday-Lecture OOgenesis and spermatogenesis Monday -11/25 Jeopardy review of the cell cycle and meiosis Tuesday will be TEST DAY with makeups and assignment catchup on Wednesday. HAPPY THANKSGIVING
