BIOLOGY
Hope you all had a happy and restful Thanksgiving. We are going to pick up right where we left off...PHOTOSYNTH#ESIS.Tuesday we will discuss the why and how for each of the light cycle steps and do the same for the light independent on Tuesday. A work sheet will wrap us up and hopefully reinforce any concepts that are still fuzzy.
Thursday and Friday will be respiration discussion with a lab tossed in for good measure.
AP BIOLOGY
We are smack dab in the middle of our evolution topic. Tuesday we will talk about Hardy Weinberg and learn how to apply the concept to a population. Wed will be a fishy lab that supports H.W.there will be a practice problem sheet and lots of calculations and graphing.Sounds like fun doesn't it? Thursday looks like lecture on behaviors and a lab if there is time.If not the lab shifts to Friday.

Week of November 14, 2011
Biology
We'll wrap up the cell cycle and meisis this week with some reinforcement worksheets on Monday, Jeopardy review on Tuesday and our TEST on wednesday. The next topic is a rough one...Photosynthesi and respiration. Lecture is planned for Thursday and probably into Friday.
AP Biology
We are zipping through one of your favorite topics...Genetics. Monday we will lecture on probability of events and try some practice problems. Tuesday will be a test on PunnettSquares and Probability. Lecture is moving Beyond Classical Genetics into genes that don't follow the rules. This week we have one lab on DNA fingerprinting scheduled.

WEEK OF NOVEMBER 7 2011
BIOLOGY
We start our week with a lab on the cell cycle. You'll get a chance to test your skill at identifying different stages of the cycle in onion root tip. Report will be due Wednesday. Wednesday we will lecture meiosis compare the steps and the outcome with the cell cycle. Thursday we will wrap up the lecture and complete a worksheet on the cell cycle and meiosis.Enjoy your long weekend!
AP BIOLOGY
This week is devoted to DNA we will cover replication transcription and translation in lecture then end our week with an activity that reinforces lecture topics.;

week of 10/31/11
Biology
This week ends the marking period. Hopefully everyone turned in their cell portfolios. You'll be happy to know that we are still working on cells. Transport and the cell cycle will be our topics for the week. Due for Friday will be a cell cycle lab report and work sheets on the processes of mitosis and meiosis. Quiz will probably be Thursday.
AP Biology
We'll begin Monday with the cell cycle. A brief lab simulation on stage identification will follow. Tuesday will be meiosis...stage identification and comparison to mitosis. Later in the week we will focus on DNA composition and discovery. Photo 51 movie will reinforce this topic.

week of 10/24/11
Biology. We will close our first marking period by ending our discussion on cellular organelles. This week included a quiz on Wednesday and the big cell portfolio assignment due Friday. Remember this counts as a test so be sure you complete it!
AP BIOLOGy.
I was pleased with how well our discussion of photosynthesis went. You really seemed to understand the process. Let's hope respiration goes as well. This will be our topic for the week. The last for the marking period. Quiz will be Thursday and lab notebooks will be due Friday.

week of October 17 2011
Biology.
Onward to chapter 3...Cells are probably a more familiar topic and that is how we will end our 1st marking period. Monday we will still be struggling through the CDT testing so our intro lecture to cells will be Tuesday. Wednesday we will talk organelles getting us ready for our lab on Thursday and Friday. I have a quiz scheduled for Thursday so be ready!
AP BIOLOGY.
We are leaving cells behind and moving into our 2 most difficult topics...photosynthesis and respiration. This week is photosynthesis. Lecture Monday and Tuesday followed by Pigment lab on Wednesday.Remember Lab Notebooks are due on Friday this week!

Week of October 3 2011
BIO
Sorry for all the interuptions last week. Unfortunately this week doesn't look much better.Our topic is the chemistry of life. and we begin our week with a quiz and lab on the properties of water. Lab report will be due Wednesday. Tuesday we will finish off the lab and introduce Organic chem. That lecture will cover Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday will probably be a worksheet daythat will carry over onto Friday.
AP Biology.Because of my unexpected kidney stone our schedule sure has been a mess. Hopefully Things can get back to normal soon.We are working with cells again this week with a focus of transport and enzymes as catalysts. Lab Tuesday onto Wed and again on Friday if everything goes according to plan
