We are now masters of all types of punnett squares! Mondays Punnett square races will give you a chance to compete against other punnett square pros as well as get you ready for Tuesdays Test. Our focus for the end of the week will shift to humans as subjects for genetic study. Wednesday we will lecture and Thursday will be a lab on human trait inheritance. Friday we will lecture techniques used to study humans.
AP Bio is working through evolution.
Monday will be lecture on the patterns of evolution. Tuesday you will learn some Hardy Weinberg equilibrium calculations and practice with worksheets. Wednesday is a "Fishy Frequency Lab" that actually involves eating. Most of you will be going to Surgery Live on Thursday so the folks who stay behind will have another Hardy Weinberg sheet to work on. Friday lecture on patterns of behavior and we will wrap up the week with a beaks of finches lab.

Aren't Punnett Squares great? I hope you think so because this week is filled with squares of all shapes and sizes. Monday we will continue with our coin toss lab started Friday. Make sure you have turned in Sponge Bob practice sheet.Lab is due Tuesday with a quiz on that same day! We will learn and practice new squares throughout the week.It Looks like we are on target for a test next Tuesday.

We have wrapped up discussion of genetics. Review is Monday and Test Tuesday .Evolution will be our next topic introduced with wednesdays lecture.Thursday and Friday will be a mix of lecture and lab.

WEEK of 3/28/11
BIOLOGY
This week we start one of my favorite topics of the year... Genetics/heredity.
Monday will be a lecture on early theories on how offspring formed. Some of them are pretty creative to say the least. Tuesday we begin probability and Punnett squares.Square are fun and can be used to determine the chance of certain traits in offspring. Wednesday we will practice solving squares with worksheets.Thursday and Friday will be a probability lab involving hundreds of penny tosses. So be prepared.

BIOLOGY.
This is our last full week before the end of the marking period. It's a busy one . Our topic is DNA transcription/ translation.Monday and Tuesday will be lectures to cover the topics. Remember you were assigned a writing prompt that must be posted to my wiki by Tuesday.We will use Wednesday as review and Test will be Thursday. These will be the last grades toward this report card.

Dna is the topic that will be completed and tested on this week. No major labs, but a few reinforcement activities and a web quest will complete the week.More to follow

week of 3/14/11
Biology
Our week starts with a Dna quiz Monday. We've mastered DNA structure, now we move into replication and protein synthesis. There will be short in class activities to reinforce each concept.This is PSSA week so no additional testing is scheduled.

After Mondays test on photosynthesis and respiration I turn the reigns over to Mr. Miller who will begin with DNA structure and replication. Remember your notebooks are due Wednesday!

BIOLOGY
Well I'm back! Hope that makes everyone happy. Were are starting our week with a test on the cell cycle. Tuesday we will jump right in with our new material on DNA. Lecture and short in class activities will be the format for the week. Our DNA quiz will be Friday.
AP BIOLOGY
We are struggling through photosynthesis and respiration for the remainder of this week.. I'm planning a test for Friday. This material is too diffucult to cram in one night . Spend some time each night to look over topics. We will complete a paper lab and a seed respiration lab Wed. Thursday. Lab notebooks will be due early next week.

This week in 10th grade Biology we will begin the week by starting a lecture on meiosis. This will last over the first two days of the week. Monday will focus on the differences between mitosis and meiosis and Tuesday the students will receive information about the different processes that occur in males and females. Tuesday the students will receive a bell ringer to review the notes from the previous day. On Wednesday we will be moving on to talk a little bit about cancer and the processes that are affected by it. They will complete a computer WebQuest on cancer on that day and that should give them a good understanding of what goes on when cancer infects cells. On Thursday the teacher will finish with any additional material that is on the test. After that is done the students will compete for bonus points in a review game. Friday will be the test that will include the information on cancer, mitosis and meiosis.

Our week starts with a bang...cell test Monday. From there and for the rest of the week we will explore the pathways of photosynthesis and respiration. Don't forget lab notebooks are due on Wednesday with all 4 cell labs completed. They must include conclusions.
