NEW SYLLABUS: CELLULAR PROCESSES, PART 1

The image below details assignments from November and till the end of this week.

Please note that it also has information about Saturday School, Dec. 3rd, between 8:30 and 11:45, in our room, N-63 on the Bullard campus. Students who attend will earn opportunities to raise their course grade.

There will be no Unit Test in November. We will finish this Unit, and launch immediately into "Cellular Processes, Part 2".

Please also note that there will be a Study Session for the Biology Semester Final, held on Monday afternoon, Dec. 19th. Students should plan ahead in order to attend, as space will be limited.

BIOLOGY POWER POINT #11: PHOTOSYNTHESIS, PART 1

This Power Point contains an outline of photosynthesis, relating it to the 'Great Circle' of chemical reactions that all living things participate it (autotrophs and heterotrophs!), reactions which recycle the raw materials that life requires. Much of this material is covered in the first two sections of Chapter 8 in the Dragonfly Book.

The Power Point for Photosynthesis, Part I, is available here.

A PDF file of the Lecture Guide based on that Power Point can be downloaded here.

The Lecture Guide based on these notes is due MONDAY, November 28th!

BIOLOGY ALERT!

Failure levels in my three Biology sections are unusually high for this point of the year.

With that in mind, I have given students a 100-point project ("A Travel Brochure to the Cell"), in which they make a brochure, graded on a Rubric.

Students also have a major test on Wednesday, with a Study Session after school today, as per the syllabus previously given.

Students who are failing the course by more than ten percent, or who are failing but have failed to attempt the Project designed to help them raise their grade, will be assigned SATURDAY SCHOOL.

The first such Saturday School is THIS Saturday, Nov. 12th, between 8:00 and 11:45 in Room N-63.

BIOLOGY POWER POINT #10: THE CELL CYCLE

The Power Point summarizing the Cell Cycle, based on the first two sections of Chapter 10, is available here:
