Applied Biology 1/23-1/27


This week's important reminders & objectives:
  • There will be a quiz over the water cycle on Friday.  You will need to know what condensation, transpiration, & evaporation are, and how they work in the water cycle
  • Objective:  To extend density dependent limiting factors and introduce/reinforce the water & carbon cycles on how they relate to your life as well as for state assessment prep


Monday

Today we will watch a video over one of, if not THE deadliest virus on the planet - Ebola.  The video documentary takes place in Kikwit, Zaire.  This video will extend upon the principles learned last week with disease as a density-dependent limiting factor.

Tuesday

Today we will  finish yesterday's video and then perform a virtual dissection in the CRC.  You will take two quizzes in this dissection and they will be graded.

Wednesday

Today we will discuss the water cycle in class, and look up water cycle animations on the computer.  You will also have an Edmodo assignment due by the end of class today.


Thursday

Review photosynthesis and cellular respiration.  Tie in these processes to state standards.  Do worksheet.

Friday

There will be a water cycle quiz today.  Review the carbon cycle notes in class, as well as state standards discussing these cycles
