Saturday morning and heading out to an intrasquad scrimmage game that starts at 9:00 ... I hope to be home by 1:00. Really need to do some yard work and bee work later today.
On Friday we had club schedule but in AP Biology we were still able to review Chi Square Analysis, Hardy Weinberg problems and DNA mapping using gel analysis. We will start our fly crosses Monday and next week is our bacterial transformation lab ... we are using the pGreen lab from Carolina that incorporates a gene of interest - a jellyfish gene! Lat week was a long interrupted week but we did make some progress toward May 9th!
Selected topics in science finished a pHET simulation lab with springs/weight and another on wavelength and amplitude. We also did a small lab on hang time ... congratulations again Mr. Vernon and Coach Bonds! ... sorry Sir Charles! Then we went outside to the stadium to prove to Brook that heavier objects do not fall faster that ones with less weight ... softball vs. a gallon jug of water ... Galileo would be proud! ... 9.8 m/s*s. We started on some vocabulary but will finish on Monday.
Softball season starts on Monday ... It is a long haul to June. Should be an exciting season with our goal to get back to the state tournament and finish some business there!
I will have to mow part of our yard today ... especially around the house.
Stopped by Granny's yesterday when I went up to get our tractor from her barn. The pear trees were loaded with honeybees. You have to admire their work ethic ... Planted some clover in a bare area near our barn where Randy buried some burnt wood and fence. Had to disk it first and pick up some limbs and boards. Finished in the dark but with the Supermoon was not a problem.
Hope you have a great weekend ... 70+ degrees here!
