Wednesday: Pollution Box, cycles box and design an experiment!!
Definitely use the college board AP videos- they are fabulous! (Don't do ones from units 8 or 9- they won't be tested )

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.

Substitute plans for Friday
Substitute plans for Friday 3/6/20
1st Block - honors biology
Hand out worksheets on "What Darwin Never Knew" and have them answer the questions as they watch, pausing as needed to answer the questions.
Here is the link to the documentary:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov00SrBwjKQ
2nd Block and 3rd Block -AP Environmental Science and
AP biology
Hand out worksheet on "Megacities" and have students complete the worksheet as they watch.
REMEMBER: Density dependent factors are things that can run out like food or water.
Density independent factors are things like fire or other natural disasters that are deadly whether there are 2 individuals in the area or 2 milliion.
Megacities
