Tree Lab and Gene Regulation ...

This morning in Genetics, we went over gene regulation ... lac operon, trp operon, transcription factors and more.  Tomorrow is club schedule and all of the genetics class will be gone.  On Wednesday, we will work to finish our book ... Mutations, Nondisjunction and Hominids.  We are trying to squeeze in one more lab on Thursday and Friday.

Selected Topics finished their unit on Plants with a Tree Lab ... we calculated leaf surface area and mass of a maple tree and worked on vocabulary.  We will will finish this tomorrow and start our review to our final.

Helped a student on his checker program today ... took up most of the block.  We will have several out of this class tomorrow for club schedule.  We will check our last problem which is on invisible objects on Wednesday.  Projects due next Monday.

Had to go to the dentist today and still fighting off a cold.  Below is a picture from our Big Bird Test last week in Selected Topics in Science.  How can you care about the environment if you don't know what is out there!
