 Today we started with a video on CRISPR Cas9.  One technology used for gene editing.

Next we took some notes on Mendiellian Genetics:  Notes found HERE.   That go with THIS power point.  

Finally we did some genetics problems by studying Sponge BOB's genes.  Worksheet is found HERE and answers are HERE.

 Today we finished off our notes from Friday using the power point started on Friday.  Next we extracted DNA from a strawberry using THIS lab and the video below:

Science 10

Today we practiced some radioactivity questions in preparation for the QUIZ tomorrow.  Next we finished off the Biology notes from yesterday on DNA- RNA.   Finally we built some mutant (and normal) bees based on their DNA structure.

 Today we finished off Radioactivity by working on this review.  Next we started our BIOLOGY unit by starting on this power point with these notes.   Next we built our own DNA model using crafty items...............

Science 10

Today we looked at Half-life of radioactive elements.  We took notes on this found HERE.   Next we practiced these with the following worksheet and watched a video on Carbon dating.  

Next we took some notes on Fission and Fusion found HERE.  Finally we watched some videos on nuclear energy.

 

Science 10

Today we wrote our energy test.  Next we took notes on Alpha, Beta and Gamma decay found HERE.  Next we did some practice problems on this and then watched a video on the most radioactive places on earth.
