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

- Objectives: Be able to (1) explain how the theoretical probability of an organism inheriting a particular allele combination from its parents (and trait) can be determined using a Punnett Square and (2) how these odds can be used in breeding and family planning

- Warm-up: What is an allele? How does the concept of alleles allow for different traits/genetic diversity and, ultimately, the formation of new species from existing ones? [10]

- Probabilities for dominant/recessive genetic inheritance patterns and Punnett squares [20]

- Start Genetics Virtual Triathlon: Leg 2 and Leg 3 [15]

- Check Bikini Bottom Genetics Practice [~15]

- TSOTS Student Blog Post Assignment #7 (Thursday/Friday)


OUTSIDE OF CLASS:

- Genetics Virtual Triathlon: Legs 2 and 3 (Punnett square practice)

- Meiosis performance art

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

Objectives: (1) Explain the general purpose of the field of environmental health; (2) Name and describe major categories of environmental health factors; (3) Explain most common methods for assessing relative toxicity of chemicals in the environment; (4) Describe risk assessment methods and applications; and (5) Explain how regulations can help reduce risks of human and environmental injury

- Warm-up: Unit 8 Exam Answer Sheet Set-up [1]

- Unit 8 Exam [50]
