Happy Valentine's day and happy February break!!

Bio 30- Just a reminder for all of those that have been away. We have finished all power points up to 1-7 now. If you are missing any notes print them off and make sure you get handouts from me. So long as you are caught up on all assignments (worksheets, text reading and questions, INs) you shouldn't have homework over break. The first exam date has now been set and it is March 4, 2014.

Bio 20- For those of you who have been away we didn't make it to power point 1-7, but we will be covering it as soon as we are back from break. We did a lot of microscope work this week and will be wrapping up the unit after break. We will be setting your first exam date as soon as we return from break also.  As long as you finished everything in class today you should have no homework over break, but that exam will be coming up quick, you may want to start studying a little.


See you all in a week! Have a great break!

Well we survived the first day back everyone!! Here are just a few reminders for today.

Bio 20- If you haven't completed all the text assignments and INs for the vertebrate unit you will have to do so on your own time.

I will have an outline and review for you this Thursday.

Bio 30- Good work on the mitosis and meiosis review today. I think we are really understanding those two topics. Tomorrow we will look at the structure of DNA as well as how it replicates. Wednesday we will learn about protein synthesis and you will have a quiz on DNA topics on Friday.

Science 90- The work I assigned for chapter 9.1 and 9.2 is due tomorrow. We will take it up at the beginning of class and then finish 9.2 and learn about scientific notation.
