AP Biology
What did we do in class today?
Remember- all assignments originally scheduled to be handed in tomorrow are to be completed in addition to the assignments I have added. Please read this post in detail. Send me a remind message if you have questions. I have also updated the pre-lab for the diffusion lab at the bottom of this post. If we have another snow day I will post assignments for tomorrow. As of post time, our test has been moved to MONDAY, JANUARY 22. I do not generally intend to message you ultra frequently on Remind, but snow days are a special exception for the sake of clarity. Today's Assignments: 1. In your BILL, complete all questions for the Plasma Membrane Diagramming/Modeling activity (make a preliminary plan for the items you will use to model the structures, but do not build it). Remember, I clearly understand that we have not discussed these topics yet. We will discuss them as a group to clear up any and all misunderstandings. Your ability to interpret and construct models is an essential component to this course. Make a list of questions you have or highlight your misunderstandings in your BILL to be sure you ask these questions when we return to class. Helpful resources (not required, just helpful): Fluid Mosaic Model Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqsf_UJcfBc Cell membrane (don’t be fooled by “Biology For Kids” this is a helpful resource): http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell_membrane.html Membrane Proteins: http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell_membprot.html PhSchool Membrane Tutorial (use the navigation on the left to help you): http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/biocoach/biomembrane1/intro.html Bozeman Cell Membrane Video: http://www.bozemanscience.com/015-cell-membrane Biology for Kids has several other helpful pages- click around if necessary 2. In your lab notebook, complete the data collection for your food item from the Food Labels lab (documents with instructions and labels posted below) and calculate the standard deviation and standard error for calories/gram for your FOOD ITEM ONLY. Remember to leave space for the other food items. Even if you know how to use a graphing calculator to calculate standard deviation you must show your work for this calculation (you may use the calculator for the addition, subtraction, division, and square root for the calculation). If you do not know the graphing calculator short cut for standard deviation, I will teach in you class when we gather our group data. 3. In your lab notebook, complete the pre-lab for the diffusion lab. I have attached the lab handout to this post for your guidance, but you do not need to print it. Pre-lab: a) Read the lab handout in its entirety b)Watch and take notes over the following short animations. i.Diffusion: http://highered.mheducation.com/sites/9834092339/student_view0/chapter5/how_diffusion_works.html ii.Osmosis: http://highered.mheducation.com/sites/9834092339/student_view0/chapter5/how_osmosis_works.html iii.Diffusion and osmosis in cells: http://highered.mheducation.com/sites/9834092339/student_view0/chapter5/animation_-_osmosis.html c) Hypothesize what “cell characteristic” will be most impactful on the above processes. Remember hypotheses are specific and explained using your knowledge of the processes involved in the lab. (You are not required to watch this video, but it may provide some hints about impactful cell characteristics http://www.bozemanscience.com/why-are-cells-small) Previously Scheduled Assignments: Due Wednesday 1/17:

Ongoing Unit Homework:
Please pick up iRespond remote at front of room.
Warm-up 1: Answer the following questions using your notes (you do not need to re-write the questions or answer in complete sentences- A) What do you think is the most important difference between carbs and lipids? Explain. B) Explain in detail why water's polarity is such an important chemical property C) Identify the monomers of carbs, lipids, and proteins 1. Data Analysis Quiz 2. Notes: Proteins 3. Lab notebook set-up, and food labels lab Schedule updates:
No biochem quiz Thursday Friday 1/12: SLO and organelle quiz Tuesday 1/16: Biochem quiz Friday 1/19: Biochem test 1. Complete water notes, discuss carbs, lipids 2. Comparing macromolecule structure Due Thursday 1/11 (in addition to biochem quiz) The following will go on the first page of your Data Analysis Reference Section. The title will be "Standard Deviation and Standard Error" (please note that when Mr. Andersen references the video description in his videos he is referencing the YouTube description, not the description on his website) Standard Deviation: http://www.bozemanscience.com/standard-deviation Standard Error: http://www.bozemanscience.com/standard-error Due Friday 1/12 No video to watch- make sure you have prepared your organelle flash cards Our activity following the quiz requires art supplies. I will provide some, but if you have any art supplies around the house they are always appreciated. Pick up handouts at back table, take out notebooks. You should have one set up and decorated and one ready to turn into a lab notebook.
1. Finish setting up BILLS and set up lab notebook 2. Notes: Biochemistry and water- probably a long lecture day. Hunker down. Read this blog post in its entirety. Please ask questions as they arise.
1) Please join our course remind (any people who join our remind who are not part of class will be removed) Text @APBioNCHS to 81010 2)PLEASE PLAN TO BRING HEADPHONES TO CLASS ON WEDNESDAY! 3) All assignments originally due today will still be due Tomorrow (1/9). Additionally, please view and take notes over the videos below. The videos are linked to YouTube- you will not be able to watch them using the school's WiFi, plan accordingly. While you will not be checked for them tomorrow due to some students likely forgetting to check the blog, I want you to be able to manage your time. Pay attention to the provided due dates. Your upcoming quiz dates remain unchanged. Due Wednesday 1/10 Crash Course Biological Molecules- I recommend turning on the closed captioning and pausing frequently. You may skip the time stamps 1:40-3:28. Hank covers the work of a scientist who helped us understand macromolecules. While this information is interesting it is not necessary to understanding the content in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8WJ2KENlK0&vl=en Due Thursday 1/11 (in addition to biochem quiz) The following will go on the first page of your Data Analysis Reference Section. The title will be "Standard Deviation and Standard Error" (please note that when Mr. Andersen references the video description in his videos he is referencing the YouTube description, not the description on his website) Standard Deviation: http://www.bozemanscience.com/standard-deviation Standard Error: http://www.bozemanscience.com/standard-error Due Friday 1/12 No video to watch- make sure you have prepared your organelle flash cards Our activity following the quiz requires art supplies. I will provide some, but if you have any art supplies around the house they are always appreciated. Pick up all handouts on the desk at the back of the room.
