Science 10

Today we took some notes on Chromosomal mutations.  Next we started a project looking at human karyotypes.   Remember tomorrow there is a quiz on DNA, RNA, and transcription and translation.  Make sure you have your data booklet. 

Biology 12

Today we wrote the quiz on biomolecules.  Next we did some cell colouring and coloured and labelled an animal cell.  You also need to write out all the functions of these organelles.   Some great tunes were also heard:

Today we practiced protein synthesis.  We took some notes on our note sheet from the power point found HERE.    Next we did some practice protein synthesis with THIS worksheet. 

Quiz on Wednesday is on protein synthesis as well as the structure of DNA and RNA.

Biology 12

Today we started the next unit on cell organelles.  We used the note sheet HERE and the power point.  We watched Hank of course! 

Reminder that TOMORROW you have a quiz on biomolecules--you may use your module questions. 

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?
