Earth Science 11

 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.

 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.

Today Ms. Busch continued with notes on plate tectonics.  These are found HERE.  Next she played a jeopardy review game to go over the new concepts.

Today we finished off the notes from the double block class and practiced transcription/translation and what happens when there is a mistake in the DNA.......MUTATION!   Two worksheets done in class the second one is due on Monday!!

Worksheet 1.            Worksheet 2.         CODON TABLE is required for this........

Today we continued our power point notes from Monday.  We took notes on transcription and translation and then did a simulation where we made our own amino acid chains in small groups.  Second block we worked on our bread mold labs.  These are due on FRIDAY.  See last week's entries for links to past student work.\\
