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.

Remediation Session Open for Classification/Evolution help
Students/Parents,
Today in Biology we will take the Unit Test for Classification/Evolution. If students do not feel comfortable with their performance on the assessment, or their understanding of the content, then PLEASE take advantage of this opportunity to improve!
On Wednesday March 28th, tutoring opportunities will be available 1 session before school (7:30 am - 8 am) and 1 session after school (3:40 pm- 4:30 pm)
**IF STUDENTS ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND TUTORING**
You should complete the "virtual tutoring" option.
Go to our YouTube page and watch the following videos
1. Classification revised
2. Natural Selection
And complete 1 page of notes (as evidence) for each video and you will be able to Retake the Unit test.
