We teach AP Biology on a single semester block schedule. Our first test over Ecology, Biochem, Cells, Photosynthesis, Respiration, Photosynthesis and our first four labs will be on Tuesday. We really don't have time to test in this class since we are on a tight schedule for time.
We finished up Friday by wrapping up and Photosynthesis and Respiration. We started our study of cell communication (especially signal transduction) and finish this tomorrow. Photosynthesis Lab write up is due tomorrow and we will review some for our test.
It appears we might get in a full week without interruption ... Mitosis/Meiosis Lab is scheduled for Thursday.
Selected Topics will continue to work on genetics this week. The Who's my Daddy genetic problem will be tomorrow.
This weekend was the Allen County Beekeeper's 2013 Bee School held at our high school. It was attended by about 150 beekeepers representing a few thousand hives. Dr. Grey from WKU presented a class on genetics and the state apiarist - Sean Burgess was on hand and conducted two classes. Retired state apiarist - Phil Craft was the featured speaker. All told, there were sixteen classes over a variety of topics.
Snowed Saturday during bee school and Saturday night about 2 inches but it all melted off today ... a warming trend appears to be on hand this week. I noticed some daffodil buds but none are open yet.
Sue Neal and I spent the afternoon at school working.
