It’s our last week of the semester! This week your only assignment is to study for the midterm exam. It will be given in class on Friday. Hopefully the review activity in class last Friday helped you have a better idea of what kind of questions that will be on the exam. This week you also need to get caught up on any of your work from any of the modules that you have not turned in yet. I am being very lenient in allowing you to still turn this in even though it is late – please take this seriously and get it sent to me this week! Several…

This week, you need to take Module 7 test that I sent home with you before Thanksgiving break. Then, to be ready for class on December 1st, you need to read all of Module 8 and complete the Definitions and OYO’s as you read. You do NOT need to complete the SGQ’s for this module. Don’t forget to send me any of your work from this module or previous modules that you have not turned in yet! This is 20 percent of your overall grade and some of you have not turned in anything in several modules. Also, it is really important that you continue to study this week for…

This week you need to finish reading Module 7, doing your Definitions and OYO’s as you read. Then complete the study guide and begin studying for the test. Don’t forget to start working on the study for the midterm also – it’s not something you want to put off until the last week! If you do a short section of it every couple of days, you’ll be done soon and can begin studying all of it, so that the midterm is not a major stress! Also, remember to send me pics or video of your completed work so that I can give you credit for having done it! There will…

This week you need to finish up studying for the Module 6 test and take it at the beginning of the week. Then, begin reading Module 7, pages 253-279, and do your Definitions and OYOs as you read. We will have a short open-book quiz in class on Friday. Remember, you need to stay caught up on all of your assignments so that you don’t get overwhelmed when it’s time to study for the midterm. We only have 3 more class meeting times before the midterm. So, I will bring the study guide information for the midterm to class this week so that you can get started working on that.…

This week you need to finish reading Module 6, pages 234-246, and do your Definitions and OYOs as you read. Then you need to complete your SGQs and study for your test. We will not have a quiz in class Friday, but we will do Experiment 6.2 so be familiar with that before class. Reminder: you need to STUDY this week for the test. The content of our textbook is not too hard – this is normal for high school level biology courses, but it does require studying. So, first, this is a reminder that you do need to spend time actually studying (memorizing) the study guide and notes from…

This week you need to complete the Module 5 test that I sent home with you. Remember, this is OPEN BOOK. Also, if you have not yet turned in your homework (OYOs, Definitions, SGQs) from Module 4 or 5, now is the time to do that! Send me a text or email with pics of your work to get credit for those. After doing that, you need to begin reading Module 6, pages 213-233, doing your Definitions and OYOs as you read. We will have an open book quiz at the beginning of class next Friday, so come to class prepared for that.

This week you need to take Module 4 test and bring it back to class to be graded. Then you need to read ALL of Module 5, pages 179-207, writing your Definitions and answering the OYOs as you read. Please go ahead and complete your SGQs as well. I know that this may seem like a lot of work for one week, but it is a similar number of pages to any other week, and I needed to choose one module to be done in one week rather than two for the schedule to work out correctly for the year. Please do not be discouraged by the difficulty of this…

This week you need to finish reading Module 4, pages 161-172. Complete your Definitions and OYOs as you read. Then complete your SGQs and study for the test. I will send the test home with you next Friday to complete over Fall Break. We will be repeating Experiment 4.1 in class this Friday. PLEASE come to class prepared. I can not physically do all of the tasks needed for this lab in the time we will have. I need all of you to come to class knowing what we are doing and how to do it so that you can jump right in as soon as we switch over to…

This week you need to take Module 3 test that I gave you at the end of class Friday. Then begin reading Module 4, pages 137-160. Make sure you do the Definitions and OYO’s as you read. There will be an open-book quiz at the beginning of class, and we will also do Experiment 4.1. If you would like to earn some extra credit points to add to a test grade of your choosing, you may complete a Cell Project. You can earn up to 20 extra points, depending on how much effort you put into this project and how closely you follow the directions. You will be building a…

This week you need to finish reading Module 3, pages 111-129, and do your Definitions and answer your OYOs as you read. Complete the Study Guide and study for your test. There will be an open-book quiz at the beginning of class on Friday. If you want or need extra credit, you may complete Experiment 3.2 at home. If you choose to do this, I will need pictures of the experiment, a lab report, and a note or text from your parent saying you completed it. Please note- this will take at least two weeks to complete so plan accordingly. Completing this for extra credit will add 15 points to…
