BIOLOGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IN CLASS:

Have you signed up for co-teaching?

Objectives: SWBAT (1) demonstrate transcription and translation (protein synthesis or “Central Dogma of Biology”) using 2-D model

Warm-up: If a cell suddenly was in need of a particular protein, like amylase (an enzyme used to break down starch into simpler sugars) for example, how would the molecular machinery of the cell know what the correct sequence was for the string of amino acids that forms amylase so that it could build this polypeptide?

Finish Transcription and translation simulation activity [40]

DNA and Central Dogma Review [~40]

Get “Meselson & Stahl Experiment” case study checked/stamped


OUTSIDE OF CLASS:

DNA and Central Dogma Review

Add more detail to DNA concept map started in class (show me by Friday for another stamp on your log)

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

AGENDA:

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

Warm-up: Ask any last-minute lab questions right away so we can get started ASAP. Determination of LC50 of copper sulfate and effects on behavior in Tubifex tubifex lab [40+]


OUTSIDE OF CLASS:

White Paper: Dosed Without Prescription (NOTE: this is a 64-page paper—you only need to read the executive summary [2 pages], but I strongly encourage you to skim the remainder of the paper)


REMINDERS: (1) Student reps for APES promotion on Feb 5th and 6th at lunch in cafeteria; (2) Class sweatshirt / T-shirt??
