BIOLOGY
Hope you enjoyed the fossil activities from last week ...because we have more to look forward to this week. YAHOO!Once we leave fossils behind we'll be moving into evolution theories, patterns, and supports.These topics also have several activities. Since these are new activities I really can't judge how long they will take to complete so I'll let you know throughout the week when specifiic things are due.Quiz will be Thursday and that will be the end of grades for the 1st marking period.
AP BIOLOGY
The worst is almost over...only anaerobic respiration to cover. We'll complete this unit Monday review and quiz on Tuesday. I'd like the seed lab and the 2 photosynthesis by Wed. So i have a chance to mark them before grades are due.Evolution is our next major topic starting with lecture on Wednesday. Generally easier topics with several fun activities...something to look forward to.

Week of Oct.18 2009
AP Biology
Well we made it through our lecture on photosynthesis. I hope everyone survived. Monday we will check our worksheets to make sure everyone is on the same page.We will also set up a lab on oxygen production in spinach. It's a sloppy one so be ready. QUIZ is Tuesday after which we will lecture variations in photosynthesis, read lab results and clean up. Wednesdays lecture will focus on introducing aerobic respiration with accompanying worksheets. Thursday we will set up lab on seed respiration and we will end the week reading lab results and lecturing anaerobic respiration. TEST the 27?
BIOLOGY
This week we move our focus from cells to the origin of life.Mondays lecture will cover theories ranging from Creation to spontaneous generation.We will apply what we learn to a reading strategy to finish class.Tuesday we will focus on the fossil record as a support for evolution...looking at how they form, types and dating techniques. Our supporting activity is on radioactive decay and it will probly become a homework assignment if we don't finish in class.
WED will be a QUIZ after which we will discuss the Geologic Time Scale and start our Evolutionary time line. This activity will take all day Friday and probably beyond.

Week of October 11, 2009
AP Biology
This is the week that will test both your nerves and determination. Our topics are the cycles of photosynthesis and respiration. Good tthing you have a long weekend to rest up! Wed. we will read our chromatography results and lecture on the Calvin cycle. Thursday will be a photosynthesis lab. It's a sloppy on so be prepared. Friday we will have a photosynthesis QUIZ , read lab results and clean up!
Biology
Now that our cell portfolios are done we just have 1 more cell topic... The cell cycle. Wed. and Thurs. we will spend in lab working with the microscope to identify the stages of the cell cycle in onion root tips. Thursday will also be a quiz on those stages. Friday we will discuss when the cell cycle goes wrong and the problems that result. Worksheets are also due Friday!

Week of 10/5/09
AP BIOLOGY.
This week we are wrapping up our study of cells. enzymes as catalysts will be our final topic with "Mr. enzyme to the rescue" lab.Lab notebooks are due for Friday with the 5 cell related reports. Tuesday we will jeopardy review and Wednesday will be our test. Thursday we will introduce PHOTOSYNTHESIS... one of the toughest topics of the year so be prepared! Lecture material is difficultbut the numbers of lab reports will drop for the time being.
BIOLOGY
We are going to wrap up our discussion on chapter 3 cells with a lecture on Active transport. A transport quiz will be given on Wednesday so be ready. Cell portfolios are to be handed in on Thursday they count as a test score so be sure they are done with care and attention to detail. We will begin cell division processes later this week.

Wek of 9/14/09
BIOLOGY
This week we will wrap up our microscope work and end chapter 1 with a test scheduled for Thursday. Tuesday we will finish our chapter 1 notes and watch a movie on the microscopic world. Wednesday will be jeopardy review game. On Friday we will start our next topic...The Cell. with lots of research and lab work to keep you thinking.
AP Biology
We are still struggling through organic chem topic that everyone loves so much! Good news is we will be moving on by Thursday. Bad news is we will have a test on Thursday(chapters 1-3). The next topic ...Cells will give you a breather with more biology focused work. Organic labs are all due Friday this week.
