5 Trees and Milkweed Lab wraps up!

In Genetics Friday, we worked on finishing our book ... Chapters 9 and 10.  We had discussion questions and sample MC questions from our AP book.  Monday will be Chapter 11 and 12.  That leaves only one chapter to finish our Ricki Lewis book.  We will try to squeeze in one additional lab next week.  Club schedule is Tuesday so we won't be able to have class that day.

In Selected Topics, we had Mr. Chris Vernon, former certified forester and now teacher at AC-S HS join us for 5 trees of importance in Allen County ... tulip poplar, oaks, shagbark hickory, sugar maple and sassafras.  Afterwards, we finished our milkweed lab with analysis of pods and graphing our results.  Below students working on pod analysis and seed removal.
Monday we will finish our plant unit and spend the rest of the time in chemistry.

We checked or programs in computer programming on Friday.  One week to go and almost all students are working on their student generated final project.  Looks like some good programs!

Getting some much needed rain this evening with a little thunder and lightning.
