- Finish cellular respiration questions and show them to Mr. Bursch
- Use the 3-D Animation Library at the DNA Learning Center to better understand DNA structure and replication and to find accurate answers for the DNA wrapping/replication questions
OUTSIDE OF CLASS:
- Work on Crop Failure Analysis Experiment Report (you can start the report even if you have only just begun your experiment)
