Science 10

Today we went over the difference between DNA and RNA and the steps in making a protein.  Make sure you can explain what happens in transcription and translation and how to use a codon table.   We watched the amoeba sisters video and answered some questions about it.

Biology 12

Today I collected the Buffer Lab (share on office 365 or print off) and your module questions on biomolecules (C) is due.  Next we drew some sketches of the monomers and polymers of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. 

Science 10

Today we took some more notes on DNA and proteins.....Specifically protein synthesis.  Power point and note sheet links.

Next we built our own molecules of DNA using fun crafty items......

Finally we watched a TEDEd on DNA mutations.  How does your DNA fix mistakes in replications? 

Biology 12

Today we continued our notes on Biomolecules by looking at Lipids.   Remember that your quiz on water, acids, bases and buffers is on Thursday.   You can use your module questions for this.  In case you need to review HANK!!

Science 10

Today we took some notes on chromosomes and genes.  Next we got an assignment to complete by February 20 The visual dictionary of genetics. 

Biology 12

Today we took some notes on Biomolecules.  Next we had some time to work on our buffer lab and complete the excel graph for the lab. 

This week due dates:  Buffer Lab: Due Friday, Feb. 7th

Quiz on water, acids, bases and buffers on Thursday

Module questions on biomolecules (C): Friday Feb. 7th

Science 10

Today we did a quick review of mitosis and meiosis.....What is the point?  Which ones are in body cells and which are in sex cells?    Next we took some notes on the structure of DNA.

Work to be turned in or completed for homework:  1) Graph based on Friday's lab of leg length and jumping distance.   2) TEXTBOOK: Read pag. 11-13 Do the "purple questions on page 11 and 13.
