classwork/Homework
Monday IB Biology - Today we were able to straighten out the issues with the gene software, as well as discuss the ramifications of the meaning of this activity. If you did the project this weekend you get an extra point. If you didn't complete the project, you have until Wednesday. Tonight you need to also look through 3.3 and really get a good review out of it since we are headed to creating a model of how your genetic disorder is passed to offspring. At this point you should be able to describe quite a bit, but this chapter plays a very important role. ALSO for those of you who are nearing the end of your work on your IA, here is the passcode for submission to turnitin.com, 20011585, the assignment title should be Biology IA, under Copy of IB Biology IA Submission 2019. You can re-submit up until the deadline of January 23rd at midnight. Honors Biology - Today we discussed the med pathway for next year and beyond. I hope you will fill out the application which can be found on this website at the top left side of "Online Resources". After that conversation we then learned about all of the new things that we learned from the movie on Friday! We got a LOT out of that show! ...but this did put us a little behind on making our plates for growing bacteria. Tomorrow, be sure you are ready with your nutrient and sugar for your plates. You probably only need a few grams so bring tiny amounts. 1 chicken bullion cube, or maybe 2 teaspoons of sugar, etc. is enough. Tuesday IB Biology - Today we took a look at the DBQ on page 167 which showed the increase in chromosomal issue with the children of older mothers. We then took the time to assimilate the new information about meiosis into your model. The rest of the time you spent making your rough draft model. Tomorrow you will be taking a reading quiz on 3.1 and 3.2 so be prepared. Oh, and if you haven't fixed the DNA project, it is also due at midnight tonight. Honors Biology - Today we looked at the theories that you have come up with for explaining the bacterial resistance that Addie experienced. We realize that the only real thing we haven't figured out is how our immune response may have played a role, but we'll leave that until another day. Next we finalized our research question and then made our plates so we can find out more about bacteria. Tonight I need you to type up the Research question, your hypothesis, and the protocol/procedure you followed to create the plates. You will eventually turn in a final copy of your lab after we collect data. If you want to use the lab write up guidelines, I've posted them below. Tomorrow, or maybe Thursday, we will swab the plates. Volunteer Opportunity!!!: Our spring orientation for new and continuing volunteers is Sunday, January 27 at 3:00 PM. We will also have a training for After-School Leaders (who tutor children and lead activities) on Monday, January 28 from 4:00-6:00 PM. (Those who are interested in being After-School Leaders must attend both meetings.) A double-sided flyer for both meetings is attached. We are ESPECIALLY looking for After-School Leaders who can read and write in Spanish, since we often have kids who are in immersion programs. We had a lot of students ask us in December about getting their hours in last-minute – we do all of our volunteer hiring at the beginning of the semester. There is a flyer attached at the bottom of this blog. Wednesday IB Biology - Today we started with a reading quiz on chapters 3.1 and 3.2. We then looked at 3.3 and compared it to 10.1. This new information should be added to your model tonight. That's it! Please come prepared to discuss any questions you might have about these chapters. Tomorrow we will start on chapter 3.4 and nearly complete our model. Honors Biology - Today we started by answering the big idea question of "How do antibiotics work?" First we checked out the structure of the bacteria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xcdYlCjieI Draw the info on the right side of the entry Next we watched a video on how antibiotics interact. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=6&v=UjLmf-cVcMw Draw the info on the right side of the entry Next, you partnered up and read article on how antibiotics work and each of you read one of the two articles https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zrKR8G3pHErSmvhwPyet-d9b7b5AdFk_DRFotD7S6B0/edit https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FnVrXJVVJv9y_D80zjYatOswJ8MaMVmdvg9TT3ZEH8Y/edit On the left side: you and your partner summarized what you learned from your classmates about how different types of antibiotics work to kill bacteria. The following are the three types of antibiotic you should know: Beta-Lactam, Macrolides, Quinolones Discuss why multiple doses of antibiotics might be necessary. What you didn't finish in class you should finish at home. Thursday IB Biology - Today we got a chance to clarify any lingering questions you had. Next I reviewed the age old fun of punnett squares to predict offspring probabilities. We covered recessive, dominant, and co-dominance. Tonight I need you to work on the DBQs found on pages 173 and 174 (mouse and beetle). Be ready to teach the rest of the class about these tomorrow. Honors Biology - Today you learned that CRISPR is now being used to create spicy tomatoes, and decrease toxin production in parasites, but when we got to work it was on your lab to grow bacteria. We discussed how to swab, but also how to measure the growth of these tiny organisms either using a photometer or other method. The last thing I had you do today was to formalize your procedure/protocol on your lab report. Type it up and be specific. Friday IB Biology - Today we started out with reviewing the work you did from last night. Next we looked at how you could apply this to your particular genetic condition. Next, as a group, you completed the DBQ on page 183. This weekend I want you to read pages 184 and 185 and then complete the DBQ on page 186. Don't forget to use complete sentences, punctuation, capitalization, etc. Hey, Check out the internships available right now: http://www.haspi.org/internships.html Honors Biology - Today we started by discussing connections that we can make between antibiotic use and watched this video: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/09/stunning-videos-of-evolution-in-action/499136/ . Next, we started a new entry for the last question we think we need to answer the Addie mystery, Does immune response play a role in the bacterial resistance? Then we (were suppose to watch) watched this video: Immune Response https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQGOcOUBi6s. This weekend I want you to write (and/or draw) your answer to the theory of bacterial resistance occurs and the potential role that your immune response might play. Take notes on the video on the right, but write your final ideas on the left hand side of the entry we created for this video. Illustrations are highly encouraged. Extra Credit Opportunity: Download the worksheet and complete the lab by Monday for extra credit. Here's the link: Immunology Virtual Lab https://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/immunology-virtual-lab
