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

Wednesday
Review the water cycle video and grade student notes. Today we will do a "county commissioner meeting" over the water cycle. This is a critical-thinking activity that involves the entire class.
Thursday
Finish the county commissioner meeting. Review state standards over the water cycle and review photosynthesis & cellular respiration equations.
Friday
There will be a water cycle quiz today. Review the carbon cycle notes in class, as well as state standards discussing these cycles
- You have two Video Lectures to watch this week (water cycle, carbon cycle). Both are up and can be found either on Edmodo or on the lesson plan blog. Remember, you need to watch these and take notes, as I will grade your notes over the material.

Important Reminders This Week:
Monday
Discuss sleep/wake cycles and dreams. The information covered in today's discussion will be the subject of the Edmodo assignment due on Thursday.
Tuesday
Today we will discuss the review sheet for the nervous system unit. Also, review sleep/wake cycles and dreams.
Wednesday
Open review for the nervous system unit, plus a cell phone review component will help students to reach the goal of 85% of students scoring an 85% on the nervous system unit test.
Thursday
Open review for the nervous system unit test today. Edmodo assignment #1 due by 4pm.
Friday
Edmodo assignment #2 due by 4pm. Today there will be a test over the nervous system unit. There is an 85/85 performance objective on this test. This test will be a paper test, and NOT on Quia!!
- There are TWO Edmodo assignments due this week. One will be due on Thursday, the other will be due on Friday, both will be due by 4pm. Check out your Edmodo account for details.....
- There is a test on Friday over the nervous system...be sure you study for it! A review over the test will be posted on Edmodo by Tuesday.

Anatomy 1/16-1/20
Monday
Brain dissection lab will be started today; students will need to do a worksheet over the brain dissection procedure worth 31 points. The worksheet is due Thursday
Tuesday
Finish brain dissection, then watch an HHMI video over Broca's Area and other "specialty" brain areas
Wednesday
Finish HHMI video; review Broca's Area and Wernicke's Area, and introduce personality traits & the prefrontal cortex
Thursday
Review personality studies of the past, including lobotomies and why they were done in the CRC. Post a link to an article you researched to Edmodo, and discuss your review in the "comments" section. Brain dissection worksheet due today.....
Friday
Wrap-up/review the week's material, and introduce the hypothalamus & thalamus

Applied Biology 1/16-1/20
Edmodo assignment due Thursday!
Lecture video over Limiting Factors due Thursday!
Monday
Complete the food chain activity in the CRC (log onto Edmodo to see the activity); the purpose of this is to show students how food chain relationships work, and how organisms interact in a food chain. This will prepare students for the ecology portion of the state assessment test, and help them to gain a new perspective on life in the environment. There is an Edmodo assignment due on Thursday of this week!! If you finish early, work on the Edmodo assignment and/or watch the video lecture over Limiting Factors, which is due by class on Thursday.
Tuesday
Review food chains, and introduce carrying capacity; discuss the differences between numbers and density of life forms in a given area. Discuss mortality, natality, and bizarre wildlife accidents when interacting with human beings. If you finish early, watch the video lecture over Limiting Factors.
Wednesday
Carrying capacity lab; if you finish early, watch the video lecture over Limiting Factors.
Thursday
Please have the video lecture over Limiting Factors watched by class today. Also, the Edmodo assignment over carrying capacity is due today by 4pm. Use your cell phones to make a video review for a quiz tomorrow.
Friday
There will be an Ecology Quiz in the CRC today. There is a 100/85 performance objective for this quiz.
