classwork/Homework
Monday - HOLIDAY
IB Biology - Honors Biology - Tuesday IB Biology - Today you started by writing to a classmate on their ideas about evolution. You then took a test/quiz on 5.1 and 5.2. After this quiz you then were able to work on your IAs. Tonight I want you to complete and turn in the DBQ found on page 248. In addition, you may also want to read the following article I found online. Worth reading: https://cosmosmagazine.com/society/modern-culture-actually-isn-t-evolving-that-quickly at Cosmos Magazine. Oh, and if your name is Darley, Hutto, Ruments, Alrubaye, or Boggeln, and I haven't already confirmed it with you, this weekend is your time to shine. On Saturday is the time to show off what you learned at the hospital when you had your internship. You will be talking with middle school students and parent about various medical opportunities in high school and will be from 10am-1pm. Set-up will be around 9:30. Please send me an email with your personal phone number so I can contact you on the day of the event. This is greatly appreciated, you are awesome! Oh, and CPR will open in February (according to the district boss), and I should receive notification. I will pass that on to you ASAP as soon as I hear. Cool Opportunity in June if you are interested in medical school! https://emergetheconference.com/ Check it out! Honors Biology - Today we worked on your bacterial lab report. You should have come to class with a graph and data set to work with and refined that so you can start the next step to your report, the conclusion. Some of you have now grown colonies and measuring these is good, and graphable, but doesn't mix well with the turbidity testing we did on Friday. That's OKAY! Your job at this point is not to be "right", but to think about the process and what you did, and then discuss what you found out and how you could do this better next time. By tomorrow you should have a rough draft of a complete report. So, today you finished (theoretically) your results and analysis, and now you should write your 3 paragraph conclusion tonight. Superficial writing will get you nowhere. Get deep into what it all means, what does the data show us? Why should we care? Use your LAB REPORT GUIDELINES. We will review the components again, no worries. Don't get behind. It will be perfect by Friday, but remember that I won't be here on Thursday, and possibly Friday. Cool Opportunity in June if you are interested in medical school! https://emergetheconference.com/ Check it out! Wednesday IB Biology - Today you worked on your IA and you should be done with this work by Friday. Tonight you could easily blow off your work, please do not. Your data collection should be happening now. Many of you are not quite there. You have no other homework so clarify your design, execute your design, do something. Here is an opportunity for only seniors! I can only take 20 total students, so I must make this a first come first serve. AACR Special Program for High School Students: The Conquest of Cancer and the Next Generation of Cancer Researchers which is taking place on Tuesday, April 28, 2020 at the San Diego Convention Center as part of the AACR Annual Meeting 2020 in San Diego, CA. You will hear from cutting edge researchers as well as get an idea of what professional conferences are like. This may be a good networking opportunity as well. If interested, please submit your interest using the following Google Form: https://forms.gle/7vws5htZk3ZgonEj9 Honors Biology - 1) We looked at Addie's case with the information that you have. 2) Work on your evaluation of your lab. This is due HARD COPY on Friday. Tomorrow you will be working on something different so get this done tonight! Thursday IB Biology - At his point in time you should have all of your equipment and rolling on your IA data collection. If not, don't feel sad, get busy! In addition to working on data collection, I would also like you to complete the DBQ which is found on page 253. Due tomorrow. Oh, yesterday I asked for volunteers to represent IB HL Bio at the elective showcase on January 28th. It will pull you out for half of the day. I got a ton of names, but I want to select fairly. If you are still interested, you must be willing to be out of class all day including 7th period (clean up). Just send me an email with your name and student ID and I will select randomly (using my dice) from the pool. Those of you in second period, please send the email even though I got your name already. LASTLY, there are still some spots for the field trip. Not sure what I'm talking about? Look above at yesterday's posting. Honors Biology - How do bacteria get killed? Each of you will produce a graph. Hard copy and turned in tomorrow. Instructions: Using Google Sheets create tables and graphs for the two investigations below. Walk through what is being asked and be sure to help each other. Then answer the questions in complete sentences that follow. INVESTIGATION 1: How many doses of an antibiotic would it take to eliminate 1,000,000 bacteria if it was 90% effective?
2. Using Google Sheets Construct a graph of the data in the table you made as a class of # of bacteria vs. # of antibiotic doses. Label your axes, and make sure to choose equal intervals for each axis. INVESTIGATION 2: How would both reproduction and repeated doses of antibiotics affect the size of a bacteria population? 3. Let’s figure this out by building a new mathematical model to predict what would happen to the population hourly if:
4. Was the bacteria population eliminated 24 hours later? 5. Using Google Sheets Construct a graph of # Bacteria vs. Time (in hours). Label the axes and the major intervals on both axes. 6. Write an explanation that tells how the mathematical model you co-constructed in class helps us understand why it is necessary to take all of the prescribed doses of antibiotics even when we are already feeling better in advance of finishing them. 7. How is what we discovered through this lesson relevant for explaining what might have happened in Addie? DON'T FORGET THAT YOUR LAB IS ALSO DUE TOMORROW, HARD COPY!!! Friday IB Biology - So today was the last free day to work on your IA. I hope that you are well on your way. Within a week or two you will be bringing in your rough draft for peer reviewing, remember that I really can't tell you what to change, but a peer could. Honors Biology - Labs are in! We'll look at what we've found out in a bit, but this weekend get your graphs and tables completed for Monday. Yes, it's worth points. Yes, it should be unique to you (any copying will result in a ZERO for both people). Do not forget to answer the questions that followed the graphing tasks (See Thursday). That's it. Hopefully I'll see you at the winter formal.
