POWER POINT: BIOTECHNOLOGY

The Power Point with the Notes on Biotechnology is available here.

Students who have lost their original Lecture Guide and need to get another copy can download the Guide as a PDF file here.

Also, students have a major Poster Project due on Tuesday's class on human genetic disorders. On that same day after school there will be a Study Session for our next Unit Test, which is on Wednesday, March 3rd.

POWER POINT NOTES: HUMAN HEREDITY!

The Power Point Notes for Human Heredity are available here.

STUDENTS: Please remember that you have a major 100-point project DUE on Tuesday, March 2nd. This is a GROUP project that you need to research and put together your responses to questions before Monday, March 1st. Monday is the ONLY in-class work day you will be given for the poster project.

POWER POINT: MUTATION!

Here's a link to our recent notes on 'Mutation!'

A PDF of the Lecture Guide based upon the Power Point is available here.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY!

Big doings in our Biology class this week....!

First of all, students should've handed in their Mendelian Genetics Booklet on Friday the 29th. Many students have yet to do this task, which creates an artifact to help them on their....

UNIT TEST, which is this Friday, February 5th.

Students who don't complete their Booklet may be assigned Study Hall. More importantly, they might be at a serious disadvantage on their....

UNIT TEST, which is this Friday, February 5th.

Students should also be aware that there will be an After-School Study Session on Thursday, Feb. 4th, between 4:15 and 6:00. Students who participate will earn credit in the course and get questions answered about the content and format of their....

UNIT TEST, which is this Friday, February 5th.

In other words, this week, everything is leading up to the first test of the semester and the prepared student will plan accordingly.

MENDELIAN GENETICS BOOKLET

Parents and Students:
An important project ('Mendelian Genetics Booklet') is due on Friday the 29th (tomorrow). Students should have a pink handout describing the project.

If, for some reason, students lose this handout, it is available as a PDF file here.

Our class has already spent part of three periods assembling and labeling the basic parts of th booklet. Now it's up to the student to complete this assessment!

LIFE'S GREATEST MIRACLE

Students watched the opening two segments of the NOVA program 'Life's Greatest Miracle' in class on Tuesday. This is helpful for understanding the special form of cell division called meiosis, and how the 'crossing-over' of chromosomes helps generate genetic variation.
You can watch it online here!

POWER POINT: MENDEL'S EXPERIMENTS

Here's the link that will take you to the Power Point containing the notes I've given in class on Mendel's experiments, probability and meiosis. The Lecture Guide (available here as a PDF file) is based upon these notes.
