Biology
Monday this week will be our wrap up test on earthworms. Tuesday I'm planning on lecturing the CRAYFISH using the note sheet approach. Tuesday and Wednesday we will work with preserved crayfish to complete our lab activity. 50 point crayfish test will be on Friday.
AP Biology
Monday will be test day for Bacteria, virus and immunity. We will wrap up the course with some lecture time on animals. Our dissection focus will be a starfish with lab report due Friday as well as a short starfish quiz. Start reviewing for your final exam which will be given Wednesday May 20th . Anything from day 1 is fair game! We will review Monday and Tuesday prior to the test.

Week of 4/20/09
BIOLOGY
Well, this week we finally move on to our final topic of the year...Animals. Our weekly procedure will be somewhat different with note sheets provided and topics covered in 1 week. This week lecture will include general animal characteristics with special emphasis on phylum Cnidaria coral and jelly fish. I'm planning a test by Monday or Tuesday next week.Lab report will be due 4/28 Tuesday.
AP BIOLOGY
Our focus for the week will be DNAand will include models, composition, replication and ultimately conversion to protein through transcription and translation. We will be doing a few paper lab activities that don't require lab reports. Our electrophoresis activity will require a report and it will be due Monday 4/27

BIOLOGY
We will use these 7 days(time out for Easter Break) to finish up our discussion of ecology. 4/3 will start with a quiz and progress to lecture on survivorship curves.
4/6-7 we will work on an activity creating a survivorship curve.Report due 4/8
Easter Tuesday & Wednesday will be discussions on Human impact on the environment. Thursday we will review and Friday 4/17 we'll have our unit test.
AP BIOLOGY
We will wrap up our topic of EVOLUTION before Easter Break with a test on TUESDAY 4/7. Lab notebooks are due before Easter Break and should include:biochemical evidence for evolution, orgami birds, Fishy Frequency, and Beaks of Finches. Easter Tuesday will be an intro lecture/ review on Classical genetics with time for Punnett squares. Wednesday we will concentrate on DNA as the basis for heredity and work on a reinforcement sheet. Thursday will be the structure of DNA including Replication, transcription/translation with a paper lab depicting each process.

WEEK OF MARCH 9 2009
BIOLOGY
Congratulations to most of you on the good Punnett square test results. This week we are narrowing our genetic discussions to humans and will be lecturing on topics from family pedigrees to blood types. Quiz will be Tuesday this week.We will be working on a blood typing lab Wed and Thursday. report will be due on Friday. I am offering the possibility of extra credit in the form of a family pedigree due March 16th.
AP BIOLOGY...
Well we are knee deep in photosynthesis to start our week. There is no easy way to learn the material it is DIFFICULT so stay on top of things and don't try to cram. Monday we will lecture the Calvin cycle and set up the Chromotography lab Tuesday we will read results and complete several worksheets. Wednesday we will have a photosynthesis quiz Thursday we will lecture respiration and Friday we will set up our respiration lab with results due to be read Tuesday 3/17.The big respiration/photosynthesis TEST will be Thursday 3/19

Week of MArch 2, 2009
BIOLOGY
By now you are all Punnett square experts...I hope. Monday this week will be our Punnett square review(square races). Tuesday is test day. The remainder of the week will focus on humans as subjects for genetic study. We will cover twins, blood typing, and family pedigrees. I'm planning a quiz on that material for Friday. We will have several activities throughout the week that may require finishing at home.
AP BIOLOGY
Last Friday wrapped up our discussion on cells. That means we are ready for a review and Test Monday and Tuesday this week. Following the review Monday there should be some time for independent study and/or lab completion. Notebooks will be collected Wednesday and should include: Coacervates, cell structures, cell fractionation, and both enzyme activities. The enzyme lab needs a conclusion as well as analysis questions. Our next topic will be energy pathways, respiration and photosynthesis. These are the 2 toughest topics of the year so stay on top of things.

Week of February 17, 2009
BIOLOGY
This week we are starting working with Punnett Squares. We will learn how we can turn traits into probability(everyone loves math). Unfortunately this is one of those topics that you are either really good at or NOT!!! Please try to be in class so you don"t miss any of the basics that will put you behind. We will be doing one in class activity later in the week with a report due by Friday. NO quizzes or tests are planned!
AP BIOLOGY
This week we will continue with Cells as our focus. We have to wrap up the coacervate lab on Tuesday...stay current with reports labs will be fast and furious over the next few days. I'm planning a 2 period lecture for Wednesday with wrap up on Thrusday. Thursday and Friday will be labs ...Organelles and Cell Fractionation.

Week of Feb 2 2009
BIOLOGY
Well the groundhog saw his shadow...6 more weeks of winter, there's a surprise. Our plan for the week is to complete chapter 9 lecture. We will look at Meiosis and the production of sperm and egg as well as mutations that can occur with their resulting conditions. Our quiz this week will be Thursday with writing prompt due Tuesday and karyotype activity due Friday.
AP BIOLOGY
This weeks focus will be organic chem and the production of polymers from monomers. Lab notebooks are to be handed in Monday. We will be working on a set of organic activities Wed and Thurs that will be due Mon Feb 9. There are several worksheets that will be assigned withWed as the due date.
