Phet circuit Lab and qBASIC

In genetics this morning, we had two chapter presentations from Ridley's Genome book.  We went over our discussion questions in Chapter 15 ... mostly,  what effects gene frequencies of populations ... natural selection, mutations, immigration, non-random matting and small populations with random drift.   Examples of founder's effect and the bottleneck effect were discussed.  We also stopped for some review.

Selected Topics were back in the computer lab for simulations.  Today we finished the skate park simulations and a electrical circuit simulation.  Tomorrow we are in the classroom to work on some physics concepts and prep up our electromagnet lab.

Several students were out of the computer programming for a freshman reward day.  We started our last qBASIC problems on sorting and menu building.  Hopefully, we can wrap up qBASIC and head to Microsoft Visual BASIC by the end of next week.

Tomorrow are parent and teach conferences ... hope we have a good crowd.

This evening I winterized and feed five more hives.  Took a walk just before dark.
