Today we wrote a short quiz on Transcription-Translation. Be able to turn DNA- mRNA - amino acids.
Next we made some mutant beeeeees! Everyone got one type of bee from THIS activity and we made a class beehive.
Next we did a mutations worksheet. This is found HERE.
We watched the video below about gene editing to cure sickle cell anemia
Today we wrote the PLANT TEST!! Nice work photoautrophs.
Started animal kingdom: Read page 116-119. Do concept check on page 118 #1-4 and page 119 #1-3.
Today we continued with DNA! First we did some practice with transcription and translation. This worksheet is found HERE. (page 2 only). Next we took some notes on mutations. The notesheet is HERE and the power point is HERE.
Next we did a lab on DNA extraction. See the video below for an idea of what we did. The lab is HERE.
Finally we watched the next 15 minutes of what Darwin Never KNEW below:
Today we finished off the notes on Angiosperms. First we completed the last slide of the power point found HERE. (page 10) Next we watched the life cycle of angiosperms video found below. Finally we did the SEED PLANTS LAB found HERE and turned in.
Today we finished off our DNA notes by looking at transcription and translation. The power point is HERE and notesheet HERE. Next we did THIS worksheet which is due on THURSDAY.
Next we watched the next 15 minutes of what DARWIN never knew.
Today we finished off the plant unit by taking notes and answering questions about ANGIOSPERMS. We wrote out the notes from page 8, 9 and 11 of THIS power point. Next we did the seed plant questions found HERE. These are due tomorrow.
Finally we watched the video below to help us learn the angiosperm life cycle.
Make sure you work on the plant kingdom review due FRIDAY which is also PLANT TEST day!!
Review is HERE and answer key HERE.

Today we did a Fern Lab found HERE. Next we took some notes on SEED PLANTS. Power point is HERE. (only the gymnosperm/conifer section) Finally we did some seed plant questions. Do #1-6 on THIS sheet.
Plant kingdom test coming up next FRIDAY. Review is HERE.
