Biology projects

Remember that your genetic disorder ppt. is due next week -Wednesday Nov, 5th ( I gave you a couple of extra days. If you work on this from home and you don't have a flash drive ( or even if you do) please email it to me by Wednesday Morning!!! ( email: ckbradley@gaston.k12.nc.us)

Next project: "Handy Family Tree"This may be completed on you and your family or on a friend or neighbors family if you like.

This project will be due on Monday Novemeber 10th.

BIOLOGY help with genetics.

Use this site to help you better understand mitosis, meiosis, heredity, DNA replication, DNA transcription and translation into amino acids.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE

TEST TUESDAY 10-14-08 on Chapter 2o objective 5.03, 6.02, 6.05
Be sure to read the rest of chapter 20 by Monday so we can review any confusing areas prior to the test.

Biology word list for window panes- due 10-14-08

QUIZ ON MITOSIS PHASES THURSDAY, REMEMBER WHAT EACH PHASE LOOKS LIKE AS WELL AS HOW THE DNA IS BEING SPLIT APART.


Word list for window panes: Bumping due date to Tuesday 10-14

*cellular respiration, *anaerobic respiration, *aerobic respiration, *alcoholic fermentation, ATP, ADP, Glycolysis, *homeostasis, *lactic acid fermentation, reactant, product, cytoplasm, cytokinesis, ribosome, biochemical reaction ( any chemical reaction that occurs inside of a living thing, ex. photosynthesis, digestion, cellular respiration), nucleotide, base pairing, mutation, semi-conservative(refers to the way that DNA is copied and genetic information is transferred, you want some variation but mainly you want the new DNA strand to be identical to the original), replication, genes, synthesis, *deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

Homework due Thursday: READING ESSENTIALS - you should get through most of chapter 11 in class after you watch "cracking the code", finish up what's left for homework. YOU should have pages 114 through 127 completed when you come to class Thursday.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE EOC sample questions

HEY- Use this to help you study, Yes- I said study.
http://www.ncpublicschools.org/accountability/testing/eoc/sampleitems/7
(Read the questions carefully, think about all choices, you can figure them out if you give yourself time to think!!!)

The first benchmark is on pieces of goal 5 and goal 6 as well as the scientific method and safety concerns- TEST on Monday OCTOBER 6- good luck!

BIOLOGY-ONion root tip activity

Hey , use this to identify the different stages of mitosis as well as to figure out how long a cell spends in each phase. REMember : PMAT ( nuclear division) with cytokinesis ( division of cell cytoplasm) leads to two genetically identical cells ( if it goes well!). YOUR cell spends most of its time in the stage before cell division- INterphase - this is when your DNA is being copied or doubled and getting ready to create two new cells.

Benchmark test on MONDAY- study ecology, scientific method, organic compounds, enzymes, mitosis, nutrient cycling, and my study guides. USe the regents test prep site (look under "useful websites" section on blog).
Also use this link to check out sample EOC questions ( they give you answers at the end so you can self-check).
