Lots of Labs and Application

Hello Biology students!

I hope you had a restful weekend, because we are full speed ahead this week! As you can see on the schedule to the right, we will close out Chapter 8 and begin work on Chapter 9 by Friday, November 14. The LE/exam will follow shortly after, and please remember that these two information-filled chapters are combined, so don't fall behind!

This week, we will be working on a very helpful worksheet that you will receive on Monday the 10th and that will be due on Thursday the 13th. Also, we will see a good number of interesting lab experiments that have direct application to what we are studying. Topics will include the chromatography of spinach and plum leaves, and another on starch production.

Remember, it is VERY important that you understand what is happening at each stage of our studies, in lecture AND in lab. I cannot stress enough the fact that you should ask questions if you are unsure about any detail we cover--it is our job to make sure you understand this material, but we simply cannot help if we do not know you need it!

Good luck all, and have a great week!
