Science 10

Today we covered the last topic in Biology:  The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.  We watched these videos 

Next we got some notes found HERE on evolution.  Finally we played a survivor game to look at how natural selection works.   Complete this lab and turn in and then work on the visual dictionary.   We got a practice test for the Biology Unit Test coming up on Friday.

Today we finished off Genetics by completing the Power Point from yesterday.  We looked at incomplete and co-dominance.   Next we did a lab on genetics and made our own "Alien Babies" using THIS assignment.   

Finally we got a Chemistry and Physics review for the final exam.  Answers are HERE for Chemistry and HERE for Physics.    Make sure you are using your data booklet.

 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 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...............
