Moving instructional information and videos to Google classroom during Covid-19
Hey everybody, starting March 31st you should check google classroom for your instructional work.
I'll be posting assignments and taking attendance through google classroom.
I've sent out invitations to all students so they can easily join their class.
The google classroom codes are also posted on the school web page associated with my name.
I plan to do virtual meetings through ZOOM - I'll set the times for each class and post that in your google classroom. You should go ahead and make sure you can use Zoom as I'm sure most teachers will be doing this. https://zoom.us/ent?zcid=3172
I hope you and your families are all well. We're going to do the best we can to make it through this year with our health and our minds intact!

Protein synthesis test tomorrow
Honors Biology class:
Your test on protein synthesis is tomorrow!
Here's an example of how to explain protein synthesis:
The first thing that happens when you need to make a protein is your cell receives a chemical signal.
The mRNA then heads into the nucleus and locates the gene (segment of DNA) that codes for the needed protein.
Transcription then begins, the gene is read and turned into a segment of messenger RNA.
The nitrogen bases in DNA are ATCG but the nitrogen bases in RNA are AUCG.
The strand of mRNA created then leaves the nucleus and finds a ribosome. The ribosome reads the mRNA three letters at a time (codon) to determine what amino acids are needed. The ribosome calls out to the tRNA's to have them bring back the amino acids coded for in the mRNA.The tRNA returns to the ribosome and drops off the amino acids in the proper location by matching the codons on the mRNA with the anti-codons on the tRNA. The ribosome then connects the amino acids together with a strong peptide bond. Translation has just been completed. The connected amino acids then fold into the proper protein shape.
Tomorrow you will have to explain to me how to make a protein from a strand of DNA
You can use your cartoon analogy as long as you don't have any of the protein synthesis terms on the part with the story AND you only have a key on the back stating which things represent each part of protein synthesis--- There should not be any extra descriptions on the back of the paper stating directly how that part of protein synthesis works.

Honors Biology
Honors Biology homework due on Tuesday January 21st
Signed forms returned: Lab fee notification and Blog information handouts need to be signed and returned
Organic compounds window panes -Link to terms:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/13lAlLwKh-hqNeDLFOqQUOKKCv-5pA4rNNA4vp3gIjr4/edit?usp=sharing
Instructions on how to complete your window panes:
Top left- term
Top right- example and opposite (these do not have to be literal!)
Explanation - the term "atom" means the smallest piece of an element that still has the properties and behaviors of that element.
Your example could be " a lego piece"
your opposite could then be " the lego deathstar"
HINT- your word list will usually have some obvious opposites in it!
Bottom left - describe what the term means- I've given you the definitions you need, now read them and describe what the term means in your own words- DON'T just re-write my definition- simplify it the best you can in YOUR OWN WORDS.
Bottom right- illustration- draw out either what the term represents or your example of what the term signifies to you. Does not have to be a literal example of the term- Never draw the opposite!
Illustrations must contain at least 3 different colors (not including white or regular lead pencil as colors :)
Window pane homework will be averaged and assigned a project/ test grade each 9 weeks.
Do your homework= get a 100 test grade!
WANT EXTRA CREDIT ON EVERY TEST! create a mind map for every word list! This will add 5 points to your test- you can earn 5 point for every list- you will have 4 or 5 lists each grading period so that's a potential of up to 25 additional points added to your lowest TEST grade for the 9 weeks.
How and Why: Mind Mapping!
