In AP Biology today, we worked on sample questions over cells and cell membranes. We also worked in Chapter 5 ... passive and active transport with examples. We handed out our first required investigation ... Investigation 4 - Diffusion and Osmosis. This lab has four sections and uses dialysis tubing to explore osmosis and diffusion. I will demo some lab techniques on Wednesday and start Chapter 6, Energy and Metabolism. Our regeneration lab will wrap up on Wednesday.
My Selected Topics Class will meet Tuesday, Thursday and Friday this week. The Great Plant Growing Contest continues this week and will end on Friday. The Planarian lab will finish on Friday also. Tomorrow, we will be studying mitosis and meiosis and will begin our review of genetics and Punnett Squares.
Computer Programming II will show the rest of the class their Sound and Motion projects tomorrow. We will be working our user input data structures the rest of the week. A science or math conversion problem Thursday and Friday.
Computer Programming I classes are competing in a programming tournament ... Grand Prix of Karel. The M-W class finished today ... congrats to Alex! My Tu-Th class will finish up their tourament tomorrow. We have started on decision statements with problems ... Cliffhanger and Run the Hurdles.
With the rain over the last two weeks, pollinators are back at work. I have been seeing 3-4 Monarchs each day as their migration begins. Below is a Clymene Moth (Haploa clymene, the host plant for larva is oak trees) and a Northern Pearly-eye (Enodia anthedon, a woodland butterfly)
