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.
AP Biology
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.
