Biology 12

Today we spent the first block working on the Solute Concentration of Potatoes Lab.  Make sure you include in text citations and references for this lab.  Check the criteria for the lab HERE.    Next we watched Bozeman Science Enzymes and answered THESE enzyme questions.  Finally we worked on the module  questions.  These are due on Tuesday.  

Biology 12

 Today we spent time in the computer lab or on laptops working on the solute concentration of potatoes lab.   HERE is an example of an exemplar from a previous class.    We also finished off the notes on Enzymes.  Check the top of the blog to see upcoming due dates.  

Biology 12

Today we finished off the notes on Cell Membrane and Transport by completing the notes on facilitated transport, active transport and endo and exocytosis.   -Check back to Monday's class if you need the notes or power point.  

Next we got notes on Enzymes with THIS power point.  We then worked on module questions for both these sections.  

Module Answer Key for Section A- Transport Mechanisms (part A-cell membrane, part B-cell membrane permeability and part C-methods of getting materials into cells) found HERE.

Today we worked on the Concentration of Sucrose in a Potato lab.  You should have completed the graph for this lab as well today.  Make sure you have your group's data and the class average data on the same graph.  More details about this lab tomorrow.    

Next we worked on the Module questions for the Cell Membrane and Transport Unit.  This should be finished for tomorrow.  

Finally we worked on a cell transport review found HERE.   Good old Hank will help us review cell membrane and transport

Biology 12

Today we worked on the Solute Concentration of Potatoes Lab by finding the mass of 11 pieces of potatoes and placing them in different solutions of sucrose.  Make sure you bring your data table back tomorrow.   Next we worked on the power point and notes from the Cell Membrane and Transport Unit.   

Finally we watched the amoeba sisters video on Osmosis.  See worksheet HERE.  

Biology 12

Today we finished off the DNA unit by looking at Biotechnology and Mutations at the end of the power point.   Next we worked on the module questions.  Those should all be done by tomorrow for the Module Check.   Finally we played a "FUN, FUN" game to practice DNA transcription and translation.  

Biology 12

 Today we finished off our notes from Friday's power point.  Next we built a model of DNA replication using LEGO.  Module questions due for tomorrow:  Section A:  Structure of DNA (A) and DNA replication (B) NOT recombinant DNA.   Section B: Protein synthesis (A) and Features of RNA (B) 

Module answers are found HERE.   We also watched crash course on protein synthesis as well as an animation video showing the action

Biology 12

Today we wrote our Biochemistry and cell organelles unit test.  Well done you are practically PRO-Teens!  Next we took some notes on DNA with this power point.   We got the module questions for DNA and will work on those next week.   Spend some time working on those questions if you are concerned about work load next week.  

Good 'ol Hank helps us learn the ins and outs of DNA replication:

Biology 12

Finish off all those Module Questions.  Check your answers HERE.    Next we built some playdough cell models.......check out the RSS website for your CELLFIES!   Finally we watched crash course 

Biology 12

Today we started off with a quick review of our biomolecules using this worksheet.  Key is HERE. Next we tried to solve the recent crime in Revelstoke by participating in the Macromolecules Murder Mystery Lab.....fun times were had by all!  Finally we finished off the notes of cell organelles from last week.  Module questions up to and including ribosomes are due tomorrow.  

Biology 12

Today we did some practice with biomolecules looking at this practice test.  Check your answers HERE.  Next we took some notes on cells and cell structure with THIS power point and then looked at our own cells with the Cheek Cell Lab.   Finally we assigned some good ol module questions.  We did the Nuclei Acids section of Biomolecules (starting on page 4) as well as the Cell Structures A) Types of Cells and B) Cell Organelles up to and including i) The Cytoplasm 

Here's a pretty easy online quiz to help you practice the basics of biochem

 

Biology 12

 Today we finished off the biomolecules in the power point by focussing on Proteins, Lipids and Nuclei Acids.  Complete part C in the Module up to Nucleic Acids (but don't do that part YET)........Next we watched good 'ol Hank talking about biomolecules.  You will learn to LOVE Hank!!

Biology 12

Today we reviewed the structure of water and looked at how water molecules form hydrogen bonds with each other.  Remember that we have a short quizerooo tomorrow on acids/bases and water.  (If you are working at home you can take this upon your return).  Next we took some notes on biomolecules and carbohydrates with this power point.  -----Don't go into the protein section YET.   Next we read the section in chapter 2 on biomolecules and carbohydrates and answered the Module Questions (from yesterday's post) to do Section C) Biological Molecules of the cell i) overview ii) synthesis and hydrolysis of organic compounds and iii) carbohydrates.  Use the answer KEY to check your answers, but don't do this until you have puzzled through using the next book!  

Biology 12

Today we got introduced to Anatomy and Physiology with a review of CHEMISTRY!!   Yes, there is lots of chemistry (especially with the first part of the course).  First we got the course outline....Next we answered some questions about ourselves found HERE.  Next we took our first notes using this power point. as well as notes on water.   Next we started our first module questions.  Do these on your own sheet of paper, to help you learn the material.  Tomorrow the questions on water, Section A: (A) and acids and bases Section A: (B) are due.  Text pages 1, 2, 3, 4 are needed to answer these.
