Biology:

Today we spent all of class working on the Teams assignment called "Daphnia Data Analysis". If you were gone, you can complete this assignment on your own. Chat me if you have questions or come see me in office hours.

Also, sad news: there are not enough surviving Daphnia for us to be able to do the part 3 experiment (testing your own variable). 


Honors Biology: 

See above, except note the difference for you: you will be doing part 3 of the daphnia experiment tomorrow. There are only enough Daphnia left to do this with the honors classes. Tomorrow, we will do this \experiment, then finish the data analysis assignment, then spend the rest of class working on study guide/preparing for the test on Friday.


Natural Resources:

- Reminder: we have a field trip tomorrow. Meet on the bus and dress for the weather.

- The eutrophication assignment is due by the end of the day today.

- The handout I gave you yesterday (Causes and Effects of Water Quality Characteristics) is due by the end of the day today (only questions 1-6).

- Today we are starting part 1 of the water poster project: biblical purpose. If you were gone, you need to get this handout from and work through it on your own, then turn it in.

  Biology: - I passed out the study guide for the Unit 1 Test (Friday, 9/12). If you were gone, here is what I explained: This study guide is your ticket for being able to retake the test. If you turn in a completed study guide on the day of the test BEFORE you take your test, then you are eligible for a retake if needed. If you don't turn in a study guide, you won't be penalized - it just means you won't be able to retake the test.  You can choose to complete your study guide however you'd like. If you choose to do it on paper, then I recommend using additional notebook paper to give yourself enough room to answer all the questions thoroughly. I will have a key available for you next week. When you are finished with your study guide, you can check it with my key. This must be done in class or during office hours because I don't ever post the key. - We did a microscope lab to familiarize yourself with a microscope so we can use it for an experiment next week. If you...

 Biology: - We finished all the notes up to pg. 3 in the notes packet. Check the class notebook to make sure you get all the information in that table on pg. 3. - If you were gone today, I want you to answer questions 1-2 in your notes packet on the top of pg. 4. We did a sorting activity in class to have a deeper discussion about the purposes of the Bible and science, but I won't have you make that up - just answer questions 1-2 and you're good.  - Some classes might get to the point where we take notes on pg. 4 - check your class notebook to see how far your class got, and catch up to that point. Honors Biology:  See above. Don't forget that your article response assignment (on Teams) is due by 11:59 pm tonight.  Natural Resources: Today we debriefed the macroinvertebrate data from our field trip on Wednesday. I am going to help you figure out the math to turn our data into something meaningful - find the page on the class notebook called "Macro Data Analysis" t...

 Biology: - I checked off your desktop apps on your laptops. If you were gone, you need to see me in office hours and show me the desktop apps on your laptop. It will go in the gradebook as "M" (missing) until you show me. - We took the unit 1 quiz. If you were gone, you need to schedule a time with me next week at lunch or after school to take this. It needs to be done before the test on Friday. - I passed out the Daphnia Experimentation lab packet and we took notes on it to prepare for a lab that we are starting on Monday. If you were gone, you need to get a lab packet from me. Honors: see above Natural Resources:  - Today we finished notes on the 6 water quality characteristics. If you were gone, copy those down from the class notebook. Then I assigned "Eutrophication questions" on the class notebook. To complete this assignment, you need to find the "Assignments" tab on the class notebook, then copy and paste the eutrophication assignment page into yo...
