Today we worked through part 2 of the Biological Molecules in 3-D. We are almost finished...we'll finish it tomorrow in class and it will be due for handing in at that point. Feel free to work on it tonight. Also tomorrow, you will be discussing the large number of textbook homework questions from last week. So, make sure you have these done...don't let your learning team down!
Please note, there are a few new class notes posted at the right under "Class Notes". You may want to print them now. We will begin working with these on Friday.

Sorry I can't be there today for your research class. Be sure to read the Saturday post regarding the 3-D molecule lab and the research report (it is now due next Tuesday). We will still complete the lab tomorrow in class and it will be due on Thursday. Use today's class to get some good research done on your chosen molecule. Remember to try searching Ebsco host and Google books. Ask Mr. Whyte for help if you need it. See you tomorrow.

Hello SBI4U students....first, let me apologize for the chaos of yesterday's class. I had checked one computer in 232 to be sure the 3-D molecule lab was still working in there, and that computer was working. I assumed the rest would be fine. I guess when that room was renovated, the programs on the computers were also changed. As a result, we will try to complete part 2 of the 3-D molecules lab in class on Wednesday using the Smart Board. So, this lab will not be due until Thursday of next week. We will still have a work period on Tuesday for your unit 1 research project which is due the following week. If you have not completed the long list of textbook questions that were assigned last week, that should be done this weekend. Have a nice long weekend!

Today students completed part 1 of the Biological Molecules in 3-D lab. Part 2 will be completed tomorrow in the computer lab. The answers to the lab are due on Tuesday. By the way, your second research class for the unit 1 application project will be next Tuesday. Due to the fog day and assemblies next week, I'm rescheduling the due date for the project....it is now due on Tuesday Feb. 23rd.

Happy fog day grade 12's! I'm here at school, so if you want to come in for extra help, I'll be in and out of room 228 all day. We will need to put off our 3-D molecules lab until tomorrow and Friday. Part 1 (model building) will happen on Thursday and Part 2 (the computer part) will happen on Friday. The lab will be due for handing in on Tuesday. We will have our second project research class on Tuesday. Have a nice day!

Today we finished discussing proteins and then nucleic acids. There is a large number of questions to answer for homework, but you can spread this work out over the next few nights.

Today we took up the carb and lipid homework from last Thursday. We then reviewed carbs and lipids. Finally, we discussed proteins. There is no homework tonight, but I do recommend that you read about protiens in your textbook.
