Earth Science 11

 Today we looked at MINERALS.  We watched this short video:

And answered questions from THIS worksheet.  

Biology 11

Today we took notes on the 5 principles of natural selection.   If you were away these are found on page 95 and 97-98 in your textbook.  

Next we did a lab on breeding bunnies and allelic frequency.  This lab is found HERE.  We will continue working on the lab on Monday.

 A reminder that your BREAD MOLD labs are past due.  Click HERE to see an example of a past lab with all sections complete.   Make sure all sections are done.   

Today we wrote the DNA-RNA quiz.  Next we took some notes on evidence for evolution.  Tomorrow we will do a natural selection lab....

 Today we worked on our Plate Tectonics Projects.   One more block to work on these!!

Biology 11

Today we took a quiz on DNA replication and protein synthesis.  Next we got our "real" text books and read page 60-73.  Finally we took some notes on evidence of evolution.  You should be able to name and describe the five pieces of evidence:  Fossils, comparative anatomy, embryology, vestigial structures and biochemical evidence.  

Biology 11

 Reminder of the QUIZ tomorrow on DNA replication and protein synthesis.  Make sure you understand the structure of DNA, RNA and how they are different.  Be able to explain the steps in DNA replication and the steps in protein synthesis.

Today we took notes on Punnett squares and variation through sexual reproduction.   Next we worked on some genetics practice found HERE.  

Finally we watched a video on evidence for evolution

Earth Science 11 continued to work on their assignment:  Plate Tectonics Project.    If you need to complete the lab "Modeling Convection Currents" use the video below.  Note that the thyme represents the hot water and the balsam wood is the wax paper.
