 Today we finished off the blood cell lab, looking at actual size of red blood cells and white blood cells.  Next we practiced all the cell organelles from the module.  Finish off these module questions:  vi) Golgi (all questions).  vii) vacuoles and vesicles (1, 2)   viii) lysosomes (3)    xi) cell wall and chloroplasts (1,3, 4)  x) mitochondria (2-5) 

Answers to all module questions found HERE  Note that you need to scroll down past the biomolecules questions.  

Practice cell organelle quiz answers posted tomorrow.  

Good video to see the connection between different cell organelles:

Today we went over our Punnett square quiz on completely dominant alleles.  Next we looked at some examples of sex-linked traits and multiple alleles.  Do these worksheets and check your answers in class (answer key posted).   

Incomplete and Co-dominant (omit #12)      Sex-linked traits (first page only)

Science 10

 Today we did a short quiz on Punnett squares with completely dominant traits.  Next we took some notes  on sex-linked traits and multiple alleles.   These are in THIS power point at the end (slide 18-32).

Finally we practiced some in-complete and co-dominant trait questions.  

Biology 12

Today we watched the last part of the crash course in Biology on CELLS.  Next we ran or walked the Terry fox run.  For Monday you should have the Module Questions on Cells completed up to and including the nucleolus.  

Here is a good article on how blood cells lose their nuclei: https://wi.mit.edu/news/how-red-blood-cells-nuke-their-nuclei

Biology 12

Today we took our biomolecules test.  Next we read page 45-53 in our textbooks and answered the Module questions on cells up to and including nucleolus.  Next we started the Cell and Cell organelles.  We took notes found HERE using THIS power point.  Finally we built a cell out of play dough and labelled all of its organelles.  

Science 10

Today (or Wednesday for the other class) We looked at some aliens traits.  This assignment is found HERE.   Next you paired up with someone and reorganized your alleles in order to bred your aliens.  This assignment is HERE.   

Science 10

 Today we went over page 39 #4, 6.  Next we finished notes on genetics from yesterday.  Then we did a worksheet on SpongeBobs genetics answers are HERE.  

Biology 12

 Today we did more practice review.  The key is found HERE.  

Online practice HERE.  

Science 10

Today we took some notes on genetics with THESE notes from THIS power point.  Next we finished our Karyotype assignment.  Make sure you number the pairs of chromosomes from largest to smallest.   Determine what the mutation is (example:  trisomy 18).    Do some research to find out how this mutation would affect the individual.    

TEXTBOOK ASSIGNMENT:  Read page 26-32.  Do Questions #4, 6 page 39.  

Biology 12

Today we worked on Review for the Biomolecules Test coming up on THURSDAY, Sept. 23.  Hank and Paul have helpful videos below:

Check your answers to biomolecules test review:  Page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

 Today we got our DNA quizzes back and went over our mutations worksheet.  Answers found HERE.  

Science 10 (DH block)

See yesterday's blog entry.  There are two block of Science 10 and we will try to do EXACTLY the same thing!!  Although my stories might be different:)

Science 10

Today we wrote a quiz on DNA/RNA and amino acids.  Next we took some notes found HERE on DNA mutations -found in THIS power power.  (starting on page 33) 

Next we used our new found knowledge to do some crafts and build a bee!!  We built "regular" bees and some mutated bees based on the amino acid sequences.   Finally we did THIS worksheet to practice mutations.  

Biology 12

LINK FIXED :)

Today we did a lab on macromolecules and turned it in by the end of class.  Your challenge was to find the killer based on the victim's stomach contents.  Next we worked on our module questions.  Answers to water-carb questions found HERE.   Lipid-proteins answers HERE.   

Biology 12

 Today we wrote a quiz on Acids/Bases and Water.  Next we took notes on proteins and lipids.  All questions on carbohydrates, proteins and lipids from the module are due on Friday.  

Science 10

 Today we reviewed DNA, Genes and Chromosomes by watching an amoeba sisters video

Worksheet answers found HERE

Next we practiced protein synthesis by doing THIS worksheet.  Selected answers found HERE.  

Quiz next class on DNA, RNA structure and function and protein synthesis

Biology 12

 Today we took some notes on acids and bases and did the practice quiz found HERE.   Next we completed the notes on carbohydrates from the Friday post.  QUIZEROO tomorrow on water, acids, bases.
