classwork/Homework
Monday
IB Biology - Today we discussed epigenetics, and then went through all of the material for chapter 7. https://www.bioknowledgy.info/71-dna-structure-and-replication.html, https://www.bioknowledgy.info/72-transcription-and-gene-expression.html, https://www.bioknowledgy.info/73-translation.html Tonight I would like you to take your flashcards and to place them in an order. This order should be placed from start from finish. In other words, in protein synthesis, which term/concept should come first, and which comes next, and which is last. Lastly, you worked on the Video Production which should be done on Wednesday and will be viewed on Friday. FRIDAY is the Last day to pay for IB Exams Hey, don't forget that the 2021 trip to Spain will be meeting tomorrow night at 5:30 in room 32!!! Talk to your parents if you are interested. Honors Biology - Today you started by reviewing the homework by discussing the highlighting each person chose for their section of the article you were given on Friday. Next you got a page of visuals that went through the two major processes cells go through and we discussed the details of each in regards to the article. Tonight I want you to watch the following video and added notes to the diagram sheet I gave you today. Meiosis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCLmR9-YY7o ONE MORE THING, you may want o bring earbuds for the music on the simulations and videos you will be watching in the next 2 days. Tuesday IB Biology - The first thing I want you to do is to look at the order that you put your flashcards in with someone else. Compare what you did and what they did and discuss why you did things the way you did. Should some not be in the order at all? Why or why not? Once you have spent 10 minutes doing this, you may want to compile questions for me for when I return. Please spend the rest of the day working on your video production. FRIDAY is the Last day to pay for IB Exams Hey, don't forget that the 2021 trip to Spain will be meeting is TONIGHT at 5:30 in room 32!!! Talk to your parents if you are interested. Honors Biology - Today what you are going to be doing is to work with 2 other people (group of 3) and you will create a Venn Diagram that compares and contrasts mitosis and meiosis. This diagram should be rough drafted first on scratch paper, but your beautiful final copy should be transcribed underneath the diagrams on the left side of the entry from yesterday. Now, you will Start a new entry called "What are the chances of inheriting a trait?" I will need you to take notes on this simulation (link is below). The notes you take will go on the right hand side of this entry and you should find all of your information on these terms from the four phases of the simulation. Do not skip as you will be quizzed on your understanding of the vocabulary later in the week and need to know this stuff. Here are the terms: meiosis, fertilization and genetics, genes, alleles, chromosomes, phases of meiosis I and II (prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase), interphase, cytokinesis, homologous chromosomes, sister chromatids, fertilization, genetics, homozygous, heterozygous, genotype, phenotype https://www.biomanbio.com/GamesandLabs_old/Genegames/snurfle_meiosis_and_genetics.html Tonight I only need you to really know this material. Please quiz yourself as you will be quizzed on Friday. Wednesday IB Biology - This is your last class day to work on the video project. Tomorrow you will have a guest speaker. Work hard! FRIDAY is the Last day to pay for IB Exams Honors Biology - Today you will start by doing a genetics quiz online: https://biomanbio.com/HTML5Quizzes/genequizzes.html You can use your notebooks as you test yourself. Do you know your stuff? If not, be sure to spend some time pulling it all together. Quiz on Friday. Now go to the left hand side of your entry from yesterday where you defined all of those terms and now you will watch the following interactive Khan Academy Video: https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/classical-genetics/mendelian--genetics/v/introduction-to-heredity When you are done with this first introductory video, please record part 2 and record at least 3 examples(pure-bred parents, heterozygous parents, etc.) from this video in your notebook. Be sure to record notes on each of the punnett squares so you know what they are demonstrating: https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/classical-genetics/mendelian--genetics/v/punnett-square-fun You have just enough time to do this if you work quickly, but what doesn't get done, you will have to complete at home. You WILL have a quiz on the vocabulary (that was listed yesterday), and the use of punnett squares on Friday. You will not even be able to complete the quiz unless you know what I'm asking you by knowing the vocabulary!!!! Thursday IB Biology - Guest Speaker Jennifer Cochran is coming to speak with you. For today's speaker please know that the presentation is going to happen in Mrs. Hirt's room, right next door. As soon as the substitute teacher take attendance, head right over. Mrs. Hirt will be waiting for you. BEFORE Friday, I must have your storyboard as well as a link to your video, please share these with me. We will play all videos tomorrow.

Friday IB Biology - So today, after all of your hard work, you got the chance to see the suits of your labor. Today I hope you put down some notes on who you thought might win each of the academy awards we'll be handing out. Here's the link, but don't use it until we've seen all of the movies. Academy Awards Voting Link: https://forms.gle/PrXVR4u67jbMD5LT9 You will only be able to vote once! Next week, after watching the last of the movies, we'll be going into preparation for our unit exam, and then into our next formal lab report. Be sure that if you still have lingering questions about these processes, you share them with me next week so I can answer them. Honors Biology - Well, most of our day was taken up with clarifying all of the material that you picked up, but maybe weren't very clear about, from the last few days. Then we worked towards our quiz. We clearly haven't answered all of our ideas about this topic so we will continue next week where you'll practice all of your genetic trait skills by making a baby! ...Yes, you can name them Brendan or Casey in my honor.
