Monday, July 25. Body System Presentations
- do a lab write-up for 10C, the Daphnia lab
- finish your study guide and bring it on Wednesday; they're checking it.
- if you haven't done your human body presentation, be ready to do that. (If you have, then post it online.. under projects to the right)

- complete study guide for Wednesday; we will be graded on completion.

Wednesday, July 20. Physiology. (but Ecology, actually..)
Hw:

- complete the course evaluation.

Friday, July 15. Transpiration

- work on Taxonomy project. Have a rough outline at least for whatever you are doing (i.e. slides if you are doing a powerpoint, etc.) For this project, you will need to read chapter 32 to get a basic understanding; you can't just pick out the information from the chapter on your subject is what the teachers said. Yay, so that just means more reading.. If you need to see the guidelines, click here. (pdf)
- Read lab 8 and do the lab bench activity

Wednesday, July 6. "Review," and learn some more stuff..
Hw:
- study for the midterm (all of Chapters 1-21!) the format: basically an AP exam: walk in and write 4 essays in 90 minutes. Then, take a very short break then do the multiple choice. (about 100 questions is what Mr. Martinez said.)
- write up 2 labs: Meiosis (3B) and Electrophoresis (6A). (note: you don't have to do the graph for 6B, because that's what Ms. Sjoberg said. Just do the data tables and answer all the questions)

Hw:
- Read chapter 20 and do the workbook. (also bring your workbook tomorrow, since they will be checking it)
