APES And Biololgy work to do at home!

APES:

We will be using this site for the ecology unit
http://www.learner.org/courses/envsci/unit/text.php?unit=4&secNum=0

You should go ahead and start by viewing the 28 minute video that goes with the unit.
http://www.learner.org/courses/envsci/unit/text.php?unit=4&secNum=1

Here is the link to the document that accompanies the video- please fill it out in as much detail as possible- you can make a copy of the document and then type in your answers, or just print it off and complete by hand!

* I'm still working on the study guide to accompany the reading, so check back later for that-Thurs. night??


After that you should proceed through each section 

I'll have a study guide for you but you should go ahead and start reading through each section!

These snow days won't change the date of the AP exam so we can't get any further behind. 
You should be spending at least 2 hours a day on any AP class you are taking! 
Usually we can handle the majority of what should be covered during class time, but when we have days like this you have to step up and do your part at home.


Biology- Do this prior to Friday's class! 
YOUR NEXT TEST WILL BE ON CELLS- THE CELL CYCLE, MITOSIS, MEIOSIS, STEM CELLS AND ORGANELLES.

USE KAHN ACADEMY TO HELP YOU WITH THIS MATERIAL!
Watch the following videos, sketch out the process as he goes through it! Take notes, pause as needed to make sure you understand what is going on. This may take you a while, you may have to watch them twice to understand it.DON'T PUT IT OFF TO THE LAST MINUTE
I will check your notes/ sketches!

mitosis- about 20 minutes
