Let's END STRONG!!! LAST WEEK OF CLASS

Hey everyone,
this week we are covering and reviewing several topics

Cell reproduction (cell cycle)
Macromolecules (Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, & Nucleic Acids)
Cell Membrane & Transport
Ph Scale and Solutions
Cell respiration

these are the majority of the topics that will be on our Summative Assessment at the end of the week (Friday). Please review tutorial videos on our YouTube Page to help prepare and connect concepts from class.

Water and Ph (focus on PH-ONLY), Macromolecules (focus on info from Table given in class), Cell Organelles (note packet was optional to better your preparations), Cell Membrane & Transport notes/video, etc.


Here is a video to HELP with the 3 Types of Solutions (introduced on Wednesday 9/19.
Hypo, Hyper, & Isotonic solutions

Virtual Tutoring videos for Ecology Unit

Succession
Ecology
Flow of energy Throughout an ecosystem
Population Growth

These are the subject titles for the videos you should watch for remediation (TAKE 1 PAGE OF NOTES TO RE MEDIATE)  if you are unable to attend tutoring.


Tutoring DAY!!!! and other info.

Students and Parents,

This upcoming WEDNESDAY 9/19 there will be 2 tutoring sessions in  the AM (7:30-8) and PM (3:40p4:30).

Week of 9/4-9/7 in Biology

We have just began learning about the Element of Art Line and have recently started a project inspired by the Artist Walter Anderson.

This week in Biology, we will investigate chemical reactions & how minerals are circulated throughout the ecosystem (like Carbon and Nitrogen) and how they affect Photosynthesis and Respiration.

be sure to ask your students about the Phenomena  from TUESDAY!!!!

We will cover...
M-Cycles (Carbon & Nitrogen)
T- Photosynthesis & Respiration  & Nitrogen
Th-Human Impact on the environment and other processes
F-Bringing it all together and Unit Assessment .

Make sure students and parents are watching videos on our youtube page: camron macon (no pic in the icon) to stay updated on the content.

Here are some videos to help you understand this weeks lessons better!!

Welcome BACK!!!

Hello Students and Parents,
Welcome to a new school year with new opportunities for success! This week in Biology/Art we will learn about each other and the course. We will set norms, and the expectations of our learning environment! The goal is to start building relationships and take the edge off of the 1st week of school.

Come prepared, participated, and have fun while learning!!!

This week in Biology/Art

Parents and Students,

This week we will begin part 2 of the Genetics Art Project, so remember to CREATE your playlists of songs that represent you!!! (just make sure you do NOT rely on streaming).

We will continue discussion how traits are passed on to successive generations, how DNA is modified to potentially better medicine, agriculture, and our economy.

Final we will begin our journey of preparing for EOC and Finals, by dedicating class time for review activities.

Come to Class and Work hard!! our EOC is scheduled for MAY 15TH!!

Tutoring Opportunites

This week we will have 2 remediation sessions
1. 7:30 am- 8 am Wednesday morning,
2. 3:40 pm - 4:30 pm Wednesday

If you can not make it, then you must complete 1 pg of notes EACH for the following videos

video1: DNA AND RNA TV2
Video 2: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS

Both videos are located on our YouTube page.

This Week in Biology

Hello and welcome back!

This week we will discuss mutations and how they effect organisms.
(Deletions, Substitutions, Insertions, etc.--MONDAY

Mutations (review mutations activity), discuss new "Mendelian Genetics vocabulary" and examples, then learn how simple characteristics are passed to successive generations--TUESDAY

A portion of our students will attend the "Sweet Water" field trip (reviewing concepts from the Ecology and Evolution Unit), and others will get a head start on the Genetics practice problems and also preview the details of cellular respiration to get used to some vocabulary and intro concepts---WEDNESDAY

Thursday...I.A.N(Interactive Notebook quiz) Quiz. This quiz helps to make sure students are keeping up with their organizational skills and completing their assignments accurately.


FRIDAY, there will be a small quiz to check for understanding of mutations (5 -10 Questions) PLEASE prepare, by reviewing your mutation notes and activities from Monday.
