Genetics tomorrow will finish their Ricki Lewis Human Genetics book with discussion questions on mutations, non-disjunction and prehistoric man. We are going to try to get our BLAST lab done on Thursday and Friday. Our final is on Monday.
Selected Topics finished their Plant vocabulary and started on human organ systems. Today was the digestive system and the biochemistry of digestion. Tomorrow, will be circulatory system and reproduction. We will have a short chemistry unit Thursday and Friday before returning to organ systems the last two days before Christmas break.
Tomorrow in computer science we will check our last program on invisible clickable objects. Our final projects will be peer reviewed on Monday ... a few students have already finished their projects!
I got home in time for a walk to Long Creek this evening ... still a little damp from the nearly 4 inches of rain we got Sunday and Monday. Birds were busy but not many animals stirring around.
I got an interesting book recently on bumble bees ... actually two for our habitat restoration project for pollinators this spring. The first is Befriending Bumble Bees (ordered from Xerces Society). We are planning to build some bumble bee boxes and there is a lot of great information in this book about rearing bumble bees.
Bumble Bees of the Eastern United States is the other book (from Pollinator Partnership). Great for identification of different species! Some good reading and food for thought this winter before the bees get busy in the spring.
