AP BIOLOGY TEST TOMORROW AP ENV.SCI homework

AP BIOLOGY TEST TOMORROW ON THE CELL CYCLE, MITOSIS, MEIOSIS AND CELLULAR RESPIRATION

YOU MAY FILL ONE SIDE OF ONE INDEX CARD WITH INFORMATION TO HELP YOU THROUGH THE TEST- I WOULD USE IT FOR CELLULAR RESPIRATION IF I WERE YOU.


AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE- YOUR HOMEWORK IS TO WATCH THESE VIDEO CLIPS AND TAKE NOTES ON THEM- YOU'LL GET TWO EVERY EVENING. BE PREPARED TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM TOMORROW!

OK, so I know you guys had trouble finding cells going through the stages of mitosis, but the cells were actually working just fine! Mrs. Faulkner and I did a couple of slides after school just for funzies and both of our cells showed mitotic division.

We did have to look closely at every cell we came across, but it was possible

Errors that probably occurred: cells weren't thinned out enough, cells weren't rinsed well enough and/or not enough time was spent going through the many cells on your slide.

I left some root growing in class so we can make another attempt some time this week, even if it's just me doing a demo and showing you.

* Clayton: your phone takes a much better pix! This image looks better on my phone, but in case you can't tell what it is, it's a cell in metaphase- we also saw prophase and telophase.

AP BIO HOMEWORK and AP Environmental Science homework for the 3-14 weekend

What a difference a day (or two) makes!

This is a picture of a garlic clove I placed in water last night so I would know whether or not we'd have enough root to use for the lab. There was no visible growth this morning, but tonight there are visible roots. We only need 
2 mm worth of root system so we should be able to proceed with the lab on Monday :) ! Hard to believe that a dried up garlic clove can spring back to life so quickly!

TO ALL:
We've been discussing ordering water bottles in a couple of my classes. I'd also like to order cotton totes (for groceries, etc.).  If we get 100 people that are interested, we can get both for around 5$.
We can create our own design, scan it and have it placed on both items.  If you are interested please check out this site and let me know what you think.  check out the tote bags as well

WATCH THIS KAHN VIDEO:
Take notes as needed, if you're pretty good at this you may not need any notes.
It's 28 minutes so you may need to find a good place to pause and break it up a bit.

AP BIO homework

Tonight's homework for AP bio

Watch Kahn's cancer cell podcast
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/cell-division/v/cancer

READ lab 7 (mitosis) pages S83 to S89 AND answer the questions (1-8) on page S86.
The answers do not need to be in your lab notebook.

Complete the cell cycle handouts- the ones from today, as well as the ones from yesterday.
