What did we do in class today?
Warm-up: Explain the limitations to the biological species concept
1. Complete chi-square activity 2. Complete class data for Hardy-Weinberg 3. Notes: history of life on earth 4. Review if time permits HW: STUDY FOR TEST, complete all unit requirements in notebook
0 Comments
HW: The frequency of the recessive allele in a population 0.62. What is the frequency of the dominant allele and the heterozygous genotype?
1. Notes: History of life on Earth 2. Practice problems 3. Finish Hardy-Weinberg simulation HW: M&Ms, Instagram photo, Finish practice problems 12-16 on the Hardy-Weinberg packet Warm-up: List three different types of evidence for evolution and explain why they suggest natural selection is occurring.
1. Hardy-Weinberg and speciation notes 2. Hardy-Weinberg simulation HW: Complete number 10 on the Hardy-Weinberg simulation packet (page 13 of 18). For Tuesday, bring one "medium" bag or larger of m&m's (party size is too big). BILL Table of Contents is up to date as of 8/11 under the BILL tab of the blog.
Warm-up: How is Hardy-Weinberg used to measure evolution? 1. Notes: Finish evidence for evolution, Hardy-Weinberg, Speciation notes 2. Finish antibiotic resistance simulation Conclusion questions: a) Which type of bacteria had the highest rate of reproduction? Why? b) Which type of bacteria had the highest number of organisms remaining at the end? Why? c) In two to three sentences, explain why people should follow all instructions for taking antibiotics. Use evolutionary terms. 3. Begin Hardy-Weinberg simulation HW: Lab, Nobel Prize choices due tomorrow. Hardy-Weinberg Practice Problems from simulation due Monday. Warm-up: Explain how molecular and morphological characteristics are used in phylogeny.
1. Notes: finish organizer and start modes of selection and speciation 2. Antibiotic resistance activity HW: read and take notes over pages 472-475 (section 23.2) Warm-up: How are DNA sequences used to measure differences between organisms.
Take out lab notebook for stamp. 1. Notes: speciation 2. Sign up for schoology, go over Instagram Assignment 3. Go over Nobel Prize Project, Pick Nobel Prize Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine: www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/ Nobel Prizes in Chemistry: www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/ 4. Lab HW: For tomorrow: Watch Bozeman Phylogenetics video, take notes in BILL www.bozemanscience.com/006-phylogenetics For Friday: Lab- make sure you ask questions frequently! Have at least three Nobel Prizes chosen from the list linked above. We will draw numbers to select prizes and presentation dates. Please note that some chemistry prizes will not be allowed because they are not closely related enough to biology. Warm-up: (in BILL) What are the three possible reasons for the evolution of skin color?
1. SLO Pre-Test 2. Set up lab notebooks 3. Online lab HW: Take notes over background from lab handout in the lab notebook, answer "getting started" questions under the pre-lab questions section of your lab. Test the gene files (under AP Biology Documents and Links) at home- report back tomorrow. Pick up all colored paper by mailboxes
Hand in syllabus sheet to red bucket Warm-up: Why is genetic variation so important to natural selection? 1. Set up BILL and lab notebooks 2. Complete Graphic Organizer 3. Complete case study HW: Watch Ted Talk and fill out graphic organizer https://www.ted.com/talks/nina_jablonski_breaks_the_illusion_of_skin_color?language=en Warm-up: (same sheet as yesterday) Compare Lamarck's views to Darwin's views of evolution.
1. Notes: evolution organizer 2. Case study: the evolution of human skin color. HW: Watch Nina Jablonski skin color Ted Talk and take notes in graphic organizer. Warm-up: (on the same sheet is yesterday in the same format)
George heard that plants compete for space. He decided to test this idea. He bought a mixture of flower seeds and some potting soil. Into each of 5 plastic cups he put the same amount of soil. In the first cup he planted 2 seeds, in the second cup he planted 4 seeds, in the third cup he planted 8 seeds, in the fourth cup he planted 16 seeds, and in the last cup he planted 32 seeds. After 25 days he decided which set of plants looked best. 1. Identify the following: a) Independent variable: b) Dependent variable: 2. Number of repeated trials 3. Constants 4. Control 5. One way to improve this scenario: (Modified from Ken Pitts) 1. Go over POGIL 2. Notes: Evolution 3. Textbooks 4. Introduce transpiration HW: Read and take Cornell notes over pages 452-459 in textbook, Decorated BILL and quad ruled comp books due Friday, syllabus signature due Friday. |
