Grades have to be in and completed by 3:30 tomorrow so this is your last chance to get things done.
APES: we will do a review for the AP exam.
AP Biology: Be ready to take your vocab test if needed.
Wednesday, April 30, 2014
Thursday- retake vocab test during class tomorrow if you didn't do well on it the first time
I will be in tomorrow to make sure all of your grades are in and are accurate, but I will also have a sub helping out. You will re-take during class and have an opportunity to hand in any missing work.

WEDNESDAY'S SUB PLAN AP BIO WILL FOCUS ON PLANTS, AP ENVIRONMENTAL WILL FOCUS ON PEST MANAGEMENT
fourth block: thank you so much for the card- Mrs. Faulkner took a pix and sent it to me- you made me giggle!!!
Homework For tonight
- finish any videos you couldn't finish in class or re-watch them if you think you need more notes
- Those taking the AP exam:subject yourself to as much Bozeman as you can handle- do the ones in the AP Biology lab section or the supplemental resources section as I probably won't have you watching those in class.
Sub Plan for Wednesday:
AP BIOLOGY 2nd block: ( 4th block will have to watch the videos for homework wed. night)
AS USUAL, PAUSE AS NEEDED TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE GETTING GOOD NOTES.
plant structure:
Terms to focus on, write these down BEFORE watching and be able to explain what they make and do: sclerenchyma, parenchyma, collenchyma, double fertilization, endosperm, embryo, primary growth and secondary growth
14 min.
http://www.bozemanscience.com/plant-structure
non-vascular plant reproduction:
Terms to focus on, write these down and be able to explain what they are or do: Bryophytes, sporophytes, gametophytes, "alternation of generations"
10 min. "HANK"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWaX97p6y9U
Now for a video intermission: Take about 30 min for this.
draw out the life cycle of a non-vascular plant! use a blank piece of copy paper- btw's we're running out, so please bring some in if you haven't already:)
color code your parts sporophytes one color, female gametophytes and male gametophytes should be different colors.
use this image as a guide!
THIS IMAGE IS JUST TO HELP YOU SEE WHAT THE REAL-LIFE VERSION LOOKS LIKE.
Wrap up with class with this video- remember: if you run out of time in class you will NEED to finish it for homework:
vascular plants: focus on how the vascular plants reproduce, pay attention to the "evolutionary" aspects he talks about, pause at the flower (at around 7:30) and draw and label the parts!

SUB PLAN FOR AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
First off, I saw this write up and found it enlightening and disturbing, so I thought I would share it with you. You can check it out at your leisure from home. http://blog.ted.com/2014/01/31/will-potter-on-of-treating-environmentalists-like-terrorists/
His book will probably be one of my summer reads.
For today in class:
REMEMBER TO TAKE GOOD NOTES, PAUSE AS NEEDED, YOU WILL BE TESTED ON ALL MATERIAL COVERED IN CLASS- IF YOU DON'T GET THROUGH IT DURING CLASS IT WILL BE YOUR HOMEWORK
PESTICIDES ETC. 11 MIN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWZsy_MB0K4
Integrated Pest Management 6 min
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJm2VbVAXc0
Biological pest control 5 min
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot9BhukH588
15 min TED: Intermission from note taking, just watch and listen- (even my chatty gals!)
http://www.ted.com/talks/shimon_steinberg_natural_pest_control_using_bugs
Switching speeds now, a little on Charcoal- take notes! 9 min ( pause as needed)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMrnYmO6GOo
15 min TED: Intermission from note taking, just watch and listen-THE LAST 4 MINUTES are worthy of extra attention!

TUESDAY lesson plan for AP bio and AP environmental science
Sub: please show both classes the previous post before beginning with Tuesdays lesson.
AP Biology
Here is a link to the practice test you took yesterday - there's also a link to the answers!
you should take time to look over this at home.

http://nautilusapbiology.wordpress.com/practice-tests/multiple-choice-questions/
FOR Tuesday in AP Biology
YOU are going to watch a few essential Bozeman videos today but before watching each video I want you to take a few minutes to write/ draw out his concept map. use a whole sheet of paper and leave room around each topic to jot down notes. Pause the videos as needed.
**note to sub- I would let a student sit at my computer to control the pause/ pace of the video
when you pull up each video, scroll down to where he has resources listed- click on the concept map and write it out just as he has it listed. You will fit in essential information around the terms as you go through the video.
Next week you will be tested on every video that was assigned during class time- you will be able to use your "concept map" notes on the test so even if you aren't taking the AP exam, it's in your best interest to pay attention and take notes.
today you will watch videos 21-25 in class, if you run out of time because of all of the pausing, what you don't finish in class will be your homework for the night.
REMEMBER TO SCROLL DOWN UNDER THE VIDEO TO SEE THE RESOURCES, CLICK ON THE CONCEPT MAP AND COPY IT DOWN PRIOR TO WATCHING EACH VIDEO!

Well, it looks like I'm going to be out of commission for a while. I'm so sorry I can't be there to help you review for your exams.
I'm going to help as best I can through this blog.
If you are planning on taking the AP exams you should be reviewing every night either by reading the AP prep books you have or by watching the videos; Bozeman, crash course or APES in a box for AP ENVIRONMENTAL.
AP Bio project: You don't need to hand it in until FRIDAY-
I'm going to post all of the best review links here as well as daily lesson plans.
links:
AP BIOLOGY
Bozeman- I would go through everyone of these, during class you'll watch these, but what you haven't seen in class you should definitely do on your own at home.
http://www.bozemanscience.com/ap-biology/
Crash course: I would use this to go over the human physiology and immunity information.
videos 25 through 34 are must see videos
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3EED4C1D684D3ADF
AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
your exam is just around the corner so if you are planning on taking it you should be studying every night for it. Read through your prep guide if you have one and watch these videos:
APES in a Box:
https://www.youtube.com/user/APESinaBOX/videos
you'll be viewing many of them during class through the week.

AP BIOLOGY: Watch these, take notes, pause as needed- have a student at the computer to regulate the pace so they can pause as needed.
When they are finished with these they can work on their vocabulary assignment that is due tomorrow.
Please have someone water the plants- there's a jug with fertilizer water on the counter.
*If videos say error, go to history and clear everything, then refresh and try again- If it continues to be a problem The basket with the yellow sub folder has some alternative work they can do.

AP BIOLOGY and AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
Next week we will begin selling the re-usable water bottles we talked about.
I thought this was interesting so I'm sharing it with you:
http://www.banthebottle.net/articles/plastic-water-bottles-impose-health-and-environmental-risks/
"Despite recycling infrastructure that exists in order to facilitate the recycling of these bottles, according to the Container Recycling Institute, 86% of plastic water bottles used in the US become garbage that ends up in landfills throughout the country. Considering that approximately 60 million plastic water bottles are used every day in the US, we can assume that nearly 18,834,000,000 end up in the landfill each year. Each bottle can take up to 700 years to decompose."
If enough students purchase them we may have enough money left over to do this:
http://www.lifesaverusa.com/become-a-lifesaver.htm
the TED talk by the guy who made it!!
http://www.ted.com/talks/michael_pritchard_invents_a_water_filter
We may even have enough left to add bench or bird bath to the garden area we'll be completing next week.
If you have access to some good, weed free dirt, please bring it in next week- we need a lot to fill those garden beds outside of our class room.
Have a great weekend!

AP Bio and AP environmental- no homework tonight :)
Hey- we really need to iron out the water bottle details- I'd like to order them before spring break. So if you don't want the stainless steel bottles find one you like and show me tomorrow! Also, I think we are going to go with the "Big Red Goes Green" slogan and have SPHS on there somewhere.
Here's the site and the bottle I liked, but look around and see if you find something you like better!

I like this one too:
