Setting the Table On Fire In Biology Honors

DNA unit updates

General Biology:  We are now following the revised schedule (go to my website link if you were absent/lost the new schedule).  We will still hopefully have the test on Friday, Jan. 27th.  Remember to also check the upcoming due dates (also on my website) so you don't miss an assignment!

Honors Biology:  We are finishing the DNA structure notes on Monday (we are a little ahead!). We will extract our DNA on Tuesday!
If you want 5 extra points on your activity 1:
1. go to my website link
2. click on document manager
3. open the honors DNA unit
4. open the "activity document"
5. the document will explain what you need to do (very simple!) to score 5 more points!

New Unit! DNA and Protein Synthesis

General Biology: We are starting this unit today (1/17).  Please check my website for upcoming due dates and the new schedule.

Honors Biology: We started this unit today, but will review for the respiration test tomorrow (1/18), and the Respiration test is Thursday.  THEN we will get into the DNA unit!  Please check my website for the upcoming due dates and the new schedule.

Schedule Changes due to the snow...

General Biology:  The snow on Thursday did not affect our schedule.  Bring a #2 pencil on Friday (1/13), and we will start the DNA unit after the 3-day weekend.

Honors Biology:  We will  NOT have the Respiration test on Tuesday! Friday (1/13) will still be spent going over the oxygen lab and the "active living things" lab.  On Tuesday (1/17) we will go over the review and activity one.  I will also have some review materials on my website (document manager) to help you review for the test.  Since Wed. has shortened classes, we will start the next unit (DNA) on that day.  The test over respiration is now on THURSDAY, Jan. 19th!

Respiration Test and beyond...

General Biology:  Photosynthesis/Respiration Test is Thursday, Jan. 12th.  Bring a #2 pencil for Friday the  13th!  We'll start the unit on DNA and protein synthesis on Tuesday, Jan. 17th.

Honors Biology:  We'll do the "Oxygen Lab" on Thurs. Jan. 12th.  We'll go over this lab on Friday, as well as the "Active, Living Things" Lab (and review the yeast lab). We'll also go over the review.  The test WILL be on Tues. Jan. 17th after the 3-day weekend, so plan accordingly!  Next unit:  DNA and protein synthesis.

Welcome Back!

We're starting our unit on cell respiration this week.  Please click on the school website link to see the new schedule and daily work!
General Biology (5th hour):  Our test over respiration AND photosynthesis is on Thursday, Jan. 12th.
Honors Biology:  Our test over respiration (and its relationship with photosynthesis) is tentatively scheduled on Tuesday, Jan. 17th.  Since this falls after a 3-day weekend, we may move this to Wed. (or split it over the 2 days, since Wed. is an 8-hr. day).
