Regeneration Lab, Biochem and Wild Ageratum

We met again in homeroom today but had most of first block. 

In Genetics, after talking about colleges and recommendations for a while, we started our review of biochemistry.  Only got through carbohydrates before starting our regeneration lab using planaria.  This lab took the rest of the block ... some observations, light-dark test and fed them.  Tomorrow we will try and finish our biochemistry review and operate on our planaria.

In Selected Topics third block, we are working with planaria also and started our study of ecology with why food chains must be short.  Tomorrow we will continue on ecology and our planaria lab.

Computer Programming ... finally got everyone logged in and started on Karel.  Most students finished our first three easy problems.   Tomorrow will be the Pick-the-Corn problem.

In softball, I scheduled five more varsity games, a JV tournament and a freshman tournament.  I am about a third of the way finished with the 2012 schedule.

Water plants at home today ... I about ready to give up on some of them.  Had to scare the deer out of the yard twice tonight ... when it gets dry they stay close to the house.   I went to look about some of the buckwheat which really needs rain.  Wild ageratum and lots of goldenrod blooming.  The bees will be able to use the goldenrod.  Took some pict and will put them on tomorrow.
