Today our school, our top-30 juniors started the local APES program (American Private Enterprise System, see link below). Most of my first block students will be out of class the rest of the week. Students today in genetics started their natural selection inquiry using brine shrimp which will wrap up on Friday. We also prepped up our Drosophila Lab which will start on Monday next week. Two crosses ... white eye X wild (white eyes is a sex-linked mutant) and a dihybrid cross using vestigial wings and sepia eyes ... yielding a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation.

We reviewed in Selected Topics class for our physics test tomorrow. Most of the unit was on motion, electromagnetic spectrum and force/energy. Good luck tomorrow!
In computer science at least two students are finished with their last qBASIC programs. We will start checking these problems tomorrow then off to Microsoft Visual BASIC on Monday. Should be a good change and fun!
