classwork/Homework
Monday IB Biology - so today we started by watching the following video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeIsxXDyjlc While this isn't a requirement, you could earn extra credit by creating a pedigree for this bizarre family situation. Next, we looked at all of the AI topics that have been done in the past to develop some usable ideas that interest us. These are only foundations for you to build on, but please come tomorrow with 1 or 2 ideas for possible IAs. We'll be sharing these ideas. https://www.nuffieldfoundation.org/practical-biology/environment https://www.sciencecourseware.org/BLOL/ https://ibbetter.com/biology-ia-ideas/ https://www.humanbenchmark.com/ Lastly, you worked on your presentations on genetics. Be sure that you come to me with any questionable material as you are meant to be an expert on these topics, which are mostly review from your earlier biology course. Resident Leadership Academy (RLA) Will be starting in the spring!!! Do you need to get an internship in? No worries, sign up for RLA. Please follow this link RLA Information for more information and to apply. There are a limited number of students accepted so don't delay. Honors Biology - OH I ALMOST FORGOT, Get your parent Input. Don't forget: Score, Signature, Comment https://media.hhmi.org/biointeractive/click/CRISPR/ Walk through the interactive first (How it Works tab), and then... Watch the following videos (How it is Used tab) about cancer and DMD 1st video and the next four clips from Dr. Neville Sanjana - 4 clips and lastly, the next four clips from Dr. Amy Wagers - 4 clips Summarize the nine clips into a paragraph (It should have three major ideas from the videos). We will use that tomorrow. HEY! If you are interested in science UCSD has a summer program called COSMOS. I've attached the informational flyer as a file below. Check it out. It is a residential program and costs money, BUT IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT, THEY MAY JUST IGNORE THE FEES FOR YOU!!! At least check out the flyer! Tuesday IB Biology - Today we reviewed your IA topic and guided you towards writing a testable question. Please come tomorrow with a solid research question. A solid research question should have clearly identified goals, clear variables, and is practical to carry out. Next we reviewed the chi-squared test for those who were absent, but at this point you should all be ready to role in presenting. Remember, I will ask you about a topic and you will discuss the topic in the context of your genetic disorder...or how it doesn't pertain to your disorder. To help facilitate this process, please make sure that you have shared your presentation with me at [email protected]. Lastly, know that you will be graded using the Criterion A rubric. Honors Biology - Today we spent much of our time really bringing the big idea of genetics to a close. We then spent a good chunk of our time describing how the Final Project/Exam would work. I've posted this criteria below as a downloadable file. IN addition to coming in with a game idea and knowing your lowest two criterion scores, I also want you to not forget to get your parent Input sheet signed. Don't forget: Score, Signature, Comment. I will be checking these off starting tomorrow. Wednesday IB Biology - Today we started our presentations. For those of you who showed up, it was a very simple process where I work as your partner. Your sole job is to make sure to know how our content relates to your topic. SO what do you do tonight if you are finished?! You will formallize the research question with me by turning it in tomorrow. What else should we do? ...probably be aware that we will be having pet day. This is a pet day where you can bring it in and share your pet during your period. Please be aware that the organism needs to leave campus afterwards. I can stash small animals and plants here until the end of the day. Lastly, you will submit the pictures and measurements for your pet on Friday for extra credit. The amount is dependent on the quality of the work you have done. Honors Biology - Today you started by learning about PIG-MONKEYS!!!! ...and then you dove into the game you are developing for your final. We clarified each of the criterion in what can be used for your project and it seems like most of you are really "running" with it! Tomorrow you should start laying this game out so understand that you should have a solid idea of what you are doing before tomorrow. I'll be looking for construction. You should also be aware that Friday will then be the last class day to work on your game. You'll have the weekend, but we will test the games on Monday. It may seem like you have a lot of time, but you don't really. You have just enough time. If you haven't done it yet, don't forget to get your parent Input. Don't forget: Score, Signature, Comment Thursday IB Biology - Today we continued our work on genetics. Tomorrow though we will be... Taking our last day to finish you all up We will get a chance to look at your extra credit pet project and prepare for our final. Please make sure you are fully ready. Honors Biology - Tomorrow will be our last day to work on your games. At this point in time you should just be developing questions as you should have the physical game built by tonight. On Monday you will be testing the games out. Before we get to Monday, please make sure that you check all of the criteria on the IB Grading Rubric. Tomorrow is also your last day to turn in the parent Input. Don't forget: Score, Signature, Comment. Friday IB Biology - Please come on Monday prepared with any questions. We will prepare for finals. Spend some time to the materials. ...Seriously. No, Seriously. Honors Biology - Parent Input is due today! On Monday there is only one thing you need, your game. You must have it.
