HONORS BIOLOGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AGENDA:

- Objectives: Use credible scholarly scientific literature to determine and report on the structure of DNA and the mechanisms / biomolecular machinery used in cells to build, repair, and copy this molecule

- Warm-up: Where is DNA usually found in most eukaryotic cells? What is the major function of DNA in all cells?

- ESLP Spring Projects [5]

- Overview of DNA structure and replication [20]

- Start DNA origami

- 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:

- Finish DNA wrapping/replication questions

- Finish DNA origami


NOTE on Spring ESLP Projects:

• Students may complete multiple projects—minimum requirement this time is two projects
• First project must be completely submitted by Friday, March 17th
• Second project must be completely submitted by Friday, June 2nd
• In addition to your finished product/task, you must also create a Blogger blog to show your (1) project outline/plan, (2) timeline, (3) budget statement, and (4) progress journal (series of blog posts) with photos. BioSITE participants will be invited to existing blog—see me to get an invitation to blog

AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AGENDA:

- Objectives: Be able to (1) describe the general characteristics of forests / woodlands, (2) explain how forests are used by humanity and the impacts our actions in/on forests have on all parts of the biosphere, and (3) discuss how humans can rethink our relationship with forests to ensure indefinite existence for both

- Warm-up: What is a forest? Give an example. Do forests have value? Explain. [10]

- Unit 7: Land Use: Overview [5]

- Unit 7: Lecture 1: Forests [25]

- Unit 7: Lecture 2: Forest Management [25]

- Class discussion: SFI and FSC: Greenwashing for timber and paper industry or legitimate consumer labeling programs?


OUTSIDE OF CLASS:

- Read pp. 218-233 in Miller

- Read Healthy Forests Initiative summary (fact sheet)
