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!!

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.
