Reprint the lab if needed.

Our final unit!  Responding to the environment!

Here are the questions for the optional assignments.

Our next unit is ecology, chapters 52-56.  

Here is the current unit.  Please note on the calendar that it is a very SHORT unit!

TEST on molecular biology

Pro-life Trip - Missing Assignments for Mrs. Goff's Science Classes.

 

AP Biology – Wednesday – we will finish the restriction enzyme digest (started on Tuesday)

Thursday – we will discuss animal reproduction (notes are online)

Friday – we will watch a video on Pre-natal Development

 

When you return the following Monday, we will work on a lab on gel electrophoresis.

Please note that the test is scheduled for Wednesday, January 28.

 

CP2 Biology – Wednesday – we will be finishing up the POGIL begun on Tuesday.

Thursday – we will review the POGILs and the lab

Friday – we will have a test on Chapter 10.

 

When you return, please attempt to make up your test before the end of Wednesday.

We will be moving on the evolution, chapters 14-15.

 

Hn Genetics – Wednesday-Friday – we will be revisiting our discussions of ethics and designer babies.

 

When you return, we will practice advanced inheritance. Expect a practical quiz on monohybrid and dihybrid crosses on Wednesday after your return.

 

 

We will be praying for you all.

Just a heads-up on the next unit!  We will be covering molecular genetics and reproduction.

 

The chapters are as follows: 

Ch 16 - all

Ch 17 - all

Ch 18 - all EXCEPT the drosophila info on pages 370-373

Ch 21 - summary, pages 447-448

TEST

Ch 38 - summary

Ch 46 - summary

Ch 47 - summary (will be a video, not a presentation)

These three chapters will not be directly covered on a test at this time

 

Optional Assignment: Complete the attached questions about the booklet "Structures of Life" Due 12/15 Monday

OPTIONAL ASSIGNMENT!!! Read the booklet "Inside the Cell" and answer the attached questions.  Due Oct 9 or earlier.  Worth a 25/25 lab grade.

Formal lab due

The Cell Unit covers the following material:

 

Textbook

Chapter 6 The Cell p98-124

Chapter 7 Membrane Structure and Function p125-141

Chapter 11 Cell Communication p225-227

Chapter 12 The Cell Cycle p 232-233, 244-245

Chapter 20 Biotechnology p 423-424

 

Review Book

p43-70

 

I have also attached some review work if you are so inclined.

 

Check the class calendar for a rough idea of how long you have to master this material.

Start reading the cell unit ch 6, 7, 11, 12, and 20.  I will abbreviate the readings in a few days, but chapter 6 is in its entirety.

TEST on biochemistry

Here are some worksheets that may help you study.  I gave you the password in class.  None of these are required.

 

I also suggest Bozeman Biology videos and Crash Course Biology Videos (google them)

 

 

Begin reading our next unit, Biochemistry, Ch 2-5.

Be reading in your textbook

Ch 2 Chemistry p.30-44

Ch 3 Water p. 46-57

Ch 4 Organic Chemistry p.58-67

Ch 5 Macromolecules p.68-90

 

Be reading in your review book

p. 29-42

 

 

TEST today!!!  Over Earth History and Biodiversity (the summer reading)

LAB DUE TODAY!

KEEP READING!!!  Any day you don't have a specific task to do, I expect you to be reading.  If you are done reading the book and the review book, REVIEW!  Take the sample questions in the review book, quiz yourself, draw concept maps...you get the idea!  This is so important to being successful in AP Biology!

Now that you have a book and a test prep book, work on reading the summer assignment pages and the corresponding pages in the test prep book (p.179-197). Check the AP Bio calendar for the date of the first test so you will know when you must have your readings internalized.

Be prepared to discuss the virus article handed out in class yesterday.

Turn in your signed student contract.

Turn in your summer poster.
