Sex-Linked & Multiple Allele Traits

Sorry I can’t be there today. But you are in good hands with Dr. Brooks. If you have questions on setting up the Punnett squares, she can definitely help. Be sure to pick up the handouts (which are also available on the Semester 2 page under Unit 8). Good Luck!

Biology:

  1. (Finish! and…) Check your work then turn in the Oompah Loompa Worksheet
  2. Watch this youTube video and take notes using the handouts in the front of the room
  3. Work on the practice problems for Multiple Alleles & Sex Linked traits. This is not homework. However, the expectation is that you work on this with the time provided. It is due on the 12th (the day of the test) but you will have other projects you will be working on between now and then. If you choose to wait to do this assignment it will only put you behind.

Biology (& Chemistry) Semester I Final

Well its all come down to this. I believe that I have done my best to prepare you this semester and for this final. I believe that you have done everything you needed to do this semester as well. Most of all, I believe in you. You’ll be fine, you’ll do great. Take a deep breath, trust your gut, and best of luck. Thanks for a great semester. Have a safe and restful break.

Plans for 12/11

I’m home with my son today so you’ll have to enjoy the start of the LAST WEEK OF THE SEMESTER without me. Here’s what I’d like you to work on while I’m out.

Biology D & E

Finish and turn in your Snorks. Then work on your Unit 6 study guide

Chemistry G

Take the naming practice test (in the back of the room)

Biology A

I apologize because today was supposed to be your review game for your Unit 6 test, which for you is your next class. You have a copy of the Study guide so feel free to use this time to work on that and study together.

Have a happy Monday!

New-Clear!

Today we’ll be investigating the nucleus of the atom. I’m sure you know about the traditional powers… The proton, the neutron, & the electron. But, believe it or not, there’s more to the nucleus than meets the eye… Which is a weird statement since you can’t even see the nucleus, but I digress.
You’ll need

Skim the chapter and fill in the questions with information from the chapter. I am not asking you to read the entire chapter. Instead, Find the section you need, and skim the information. Then go to the questions, fill in the info you remember, and then go back to the text to get specific answers.

Lab Safety… it’s no Accident

Today we’ll be going over some important information about your safety in a Lab setting. After review the Lab Safety rules (check the documents page for your specific class for a PDF version), take a look at the image below. See if you can spot some incidences of failing to follow lab procedures for safety.

Reminder there will be a “Common Sense” Lab Safety Quiz!

Lab Safety… it’s no Accident

Yesterday we went over some important information about your safety in a Lab setting. After review the Lab Safety rules (check the documents page for your specific class for a PDF version), take a look at the image below. See if you can spot some incidences of failing to follow lab procedures for safety.

Reminder there will be a “Common Sense” Lab Safety Quiz and you must pass with 100% before being allowed to use the lab.

Also! You must have a signed Lab Safety Contract turned into Mr. Kubuske by Friday to be allowed to use the lab.
