Hello Biology students!
This week is definitely going to be an interesting one, as we take a deeper look at the structures we have become familiar with in chapters 10 and 11: chromosomes.
We start the week by finishing the Double Helix movie we started last week--a film by the BBC which gives attention to the climate of the times in which Watson and co. pushed to find a structure for the all-important DNA molecule.
When watching the film, keep close attention to the competitive nature of the individuals involved, as well as their personal presentation, and the director's take on each of their personalities. We'll discuss the accuracy of the work on Tuesday.
Enjoy!

Genetics
Hello Biology students!
Today, we start the seriously fantastic topic of Genetics. Make sure and read Chapter 11, sections 1 and 2 by Wednesday, December 3. There will be a worksheet to complete in-class, so come prepared!
Good luck!

Extra Credit Opportunity: A Mitosis Flipbook
Hello Biology students!
As a belated Thanksgiving gift to you all, we're offering you yet another chance for some of the oh-so-precious Biology extra credit! All you have to do is create a mitosis flip book, showing the progression of each stage of mitosis as a cell goes from a single cell in Interphase to two daughter cells after Telophase. Sounds fun, doesn't it?
The flip book will be collected this Friday, and will be graded on the quality of the work, not the quantity of sheets you used. Keep in mind, though, that this is a flip book, and should be put together as such. It is NOT simply a drawing of each stage of mitosis.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Have fun!
