Week 12/1/09

BIOLOGY

Hopefully everyone had a great vacation and all the Meleagris gallopavo (turkey) you ate didn't cause you to forget of your knowledge of classification. I'm scheduling a quiz for Thursday just to make sure. The Quiz won't include Tuesdays lecture information on cladistics. (It's on power point)! Cladistics is one of the most difficult concepts of classifying so if you were absent for or just confused by the lecture let me know. Wednesday will be a worksheet and cladogram activity. With Thursday looking like review after the quiz, with test on Friday. All this is prone to change based on progress, assemblies etc.

AP Biology.
Hopefully you had a great vacation...but now you are back and the big day is at hand. The BIRD FLY OFF!!!! Oh the suspense is overwhelming. Who will win the grand prize? The activity was fun but I hope saw the underlying purpose and you are able to make the needed connections to natural selection and survival of the fittest. Tuesday we will review and patterns of selection and introduce Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. it's MATH so get ready! There is a bright spot... Wednesday's lab involves food which always make things more bearable.I'd like to toss in a quiz, to keep you focused on Thursday.While Friday will be a short lecture on speciation with some time to work on lab reports. See you there!
