Biology 10/11-10/14


Tuesday
Today's objective is to discuss cellular respiration and relate its importance to the cell, and all animals which use cellular respiration.  We will cover glycolysis, the Kreb's Cycle, and cellular respiration.



Wednesday
I will be absent today with my field biology class.  Students are to go to the CRC and watch the video at this link:  http://www.khanacademy.org/video/introduction-to-cellular-respiration?playlist=Biology over cellular respiration.  After watching the video, allow them to look at other websites over cellular respiration so they can become more familiar with its principles.

Thursday
Today's objective is to do an "ad-lib" fill in over the process of cellular respiration.  This will allow students to become more familiar with the process, and prepare them for questions on the state science assessment.

Friday
Today's objective is to take a basic quiz over cellular respiration (ten points max), and to do a worksheet over the process.  There will be a test next TUESDAY over the cell unit.




Anatomy 10/11-10/14

Tuesday


Today we will be videotaping our segments over the integumentary system notes; there is no time limit and it's worth ten points.  The purpose of this project is to help students learn and remember parts of the integumentary system in "non-traditional" ways, through the use of video technology.


Wednesday

I will be absent today with my field biology students.  Students will be given the period to cover the tables   and write interactive study guides in preparation for next week's test.

Thursday

Today we will discuss cancer, and the mechanics of cancer cells.  We will cover protooncogenes, oncogenes, Rb, and p53, with an objective of learning about how cancer actually works and why it's so damaging to us.  We will also discuss apoptosis, and how it relates to the cell.  The major skin cancers are on pages 156-157 in your textbook.


Friday

Continue discussion of cancer mechanics.  Prepare for next Tuesday's test.
