Plasmid Mapping, Genetics and Softball Scheduling Continues

School -
Juniors were out for class elections during first block.  In genetics we moved from reading gels to mapping plasmids leading up to our paper plasmid lab later in the week.  Tomorrow we wrap up our regeneration lab using planaria ... will take some picts or video.  We will also start on Chapter 3 discussion questions tomorrow.

Selected topics worked on genetic problems during third block ... ABO blood types and sex-linked traits ... we started the "Find my Baby" problem ... more genetics tomorrow and plant growing contest continues.

Checking problems in Computer programming today as students work on our final Advance Problems for Karel.

Scheduling softball for the 2012 season continues each day ... at least an hour and more.  TN teams don't like to schedule until after Labor Day which is a problem for KY coaches that are wrapping up scheduling.  I have about 30 games out the maximum 36 allowed.  Scheduled Blackman (TN) today and appears we will be in the Marshall, OC and Wendy's (OH) tournaments.  I have several round robins scheduled ... more home games than usual which make the parents happy.  It has been easier to get coaches to come to ACS next year ... wonder why?

Even though we got a little rain last weekend, it is still dry with little rain in sight. Wildflowers, especially ironweed and goldenrod still blooming, but hot for bees to work.
