November 14th, 2013

Bio20- Tomorrow we will continue our look at Phylum Platyhelminthes. There is no homework specifically, but I have the notes up in the link to the right as well as the video if you want to view it again.

Bio 30- Exam is tomorrow and INs are due tomorrow. Please don't worry too much about the practice test. Your outline that I gave you earlier in the week is specific to the test and will help guide your studying as I wrote that outline while looking directly at your test. A lot of the questions are about the structures specifically and what they do. I would also focus your studying on putting the major events in order, especially for things like the breathing cycle and the heart beat cycle. Remember that you will have a choice in which written response you want to do so you can prepare and answer the one you know best. One question will be about the circulatory system and the heart, the other is about the respiratory system and the lungs. Take a deep breath and don't panic.

Sci 90- Please make sure your assignment on batteries is completed for tomorrow, we will also go through the work from Wednesday tomorrow. I have posted your power point notes to this blog now. Just click on the link to the right and it will take you to my Google drive. You can read through the notes or print any if you miss a day of class.
