Biology and APES homework

Honors Biology classes: Have this done for MONDAY - this gives you a good amount of time over the weekend. YOU may have to go through it two or three times to get it! That's normal :)

You need to watch this video on Meiosis and sketch it out with him as he goes. Pause as needed and make sure you understand what's going on.

This is a major concept in biology and needs to be well understood. It will make future topics easier if you have a solid grasp on this!

I will check your notes

Coffee cups for cocoaplease ask your folks for some "sustainable" cups for hot cocoa- no styrofoam please. Marshmallows are also welcome :)

We have some cold days ahead and a few documentaries to watch. I'd like to make it a cozy learning environment, so I'll bring the cocoa if you bring the cups.

Sturdy paper cups are best.
You can always bring your own mug (keep it small- the packets are for  8 ounces!)
