AP Test on the Horizon!

May 11th is our AP Biology Exam for 2014-2015.  Today we reviewed the 13 Investigations (Labs) we did over the school year.  Afterward this, we counted flies from the crosses we made over a week ago.  We are using the X-linked white eye mutant and autosomal mutants sepia eyes and vestigial wings. Friday is an "A" day so we will complete our Drosophila behavior lab to finish up the week.  We have be reviewing after school.

In Selected Topics in Science, we are about half way through our amphibian dissection.  Tomorrow we will finish the brain dissection and quiz.  We have taken alot of measurements to graph.

Computer Programming I just finished a program in Scratch making a flower using an algorithm.  We gave awards for best in show, most likely to attract a bee, most colorful and more.  This week students are finishing either a pong game or the show (a musical performance).

Computer Programming II has three rotations on projects (arduino, raspberry pi, python graphics, and finch robots).  We are finishing up the last of our Python problems with a dictionary program.  Student team projects will be used for their final later next month ... many teams have opted for the line reading competition using our Zumo robots and arduinos.
