I have posted some new notes here. You'll need these notes for this upcoming week.

If you are checking today for a new note, I am unable to copy the links to my notes today for some reason....I'm trying to find out what's going on, but for now, you don't have to worry about printing a new note. Just make sure you have the one urine formation note that has been posted there for awhile now.

Good morning students. Today you will work on your evolution "story" project. Spend some time researching the evolution concepts that are outlined in the project from the zoo. Then begin to create your evolutionary story that explains how the environmental pressures selected for the traits/adaptations in your fictional animal.

If you don't have your zoo handout, you can find the activity at www.torontozoo.com. Click on Schools, then Secondary Level Students, then the Grade 12 Evolution Activity.

Also, note that there are some new notes for the Homeostasis unit posted here on the blog. Please print these for Tuesday. Have a great long weekend!

I've fixed up the links to the Evolution notes...hopefully they don't get messed up again. Please let me know if any of them don't work.

Here are the answers to the two reviews for your viewing pleasure. Good luck with your studying...this is an important test...so use all your best study strategies tonight.

Protein Syn and Biotech Review Answers

Today we went over the note on Biotechnology from Tuesday....it appears many of you were away that day. Please complete the textbook questions for homework (p. 281 #1,2,4,5 and p. 282 #8). Your bST project will be presented next Wednesday, so make sure you are in contact with your partner and you are working toward completing this project. Ask me for help with this if necessary!

Just some updates to the course schedule...
Remember that you should be working on your research of the BST issue when you have time. Your protein synthesis performance task will take place on Friday, so you should have all your work up to date, your notes organized, and bring all your resources with you to class on Friday.
There is new note under the Class Notes section called "Biotechnology Note" that you will want to have for Tuesday April 27th class.
