Mitosis / Meiosis and some genetics ...

Still no rain today but a chance tomorrow and early next week.  It is really dry and it is curtailing any nectar flow from goldenrod, ironweed and other fall flowers ... let alone, my buckwheat is not growing fast enough to stay ahead of the deer.

In Genetics today we covered mitosis and meiosis ... the differernces between spermatogenesis and oogenesis ... also crossing-over in prophase I and non-disjunction problems in humans.  Tomorrow we have part of the AP Mitosis Lab to do.

Selected Topics is also covering cell divison.  We will doing a microscope lab tomorrow since I have the microscopes out for first block.  We also did an analysis of food labels using the candy labels from biochem poker on Tuesday.  Planaria seem to be doing well and student and still getting started on the Great Plant Growing Contest.

In Computer Programming about half the class is finished with the first Advanced Problem which involved clearing a landmine field with Karel the Robot.  Tomorrow we continue with Karel can Climb and Friday is our Grand Prix contest.

Worked on softball scheduling today.  Louisville Ballard is coming down next Spring ... I am about half way finished with scheduling.

Going to Bowling Green now to pick up our mower that is being repaired. Most of the yard is too dry to mow.
