IN CLASS: Have you signed up for co-teaching?
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; Specifically, SWBAT (1) create a simple but compositionally accurate physical model of the DNA double helix (2) describe the history of humanity’s discovery of DNA and the structure of a chromosome
Warm-up: DNA brainstorm and concept map [10]
Introduction to DNA, including videos [10]
DNA paper (origami-style) model [20]
Cell growth and division mini-project NOW LATE!
OUTSIDE OF CLASS:
Finish DNA paper (origami-style) model
Add more detail to DNA concept map started in class

AGENDA: Research Project 1st Interview Overdue!
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: Why have forest fires been larger and more devastating in Western North America during the last 40 – 50 years as compared with fires from previous centuries? [5]
Class discussion: SFI and FSC: Greenwashing for timber and paper industry or legitimate consumer labeling programs? [10]
Unit 7: Lecture 3: Forest Fires [10], Unit 7: Lecture 4: Mining [10]
OUTSIDE OF CLASS:
Finish Take-home quiz
Review Unit 7: Lecture 4: Mining
