Homework+2009-10

__Biology Homework__ : The due dates for THIS week are in RED !! BE SURE to check for Assignments for projects due in appropriate section-__Text homework is listed separately from Projects.- check all current sections!__ **All the upcoming assignments will be in black and completed ones will be // aqua //.**

__**Genetics**__
Follow the instructions as to which ones to do at the top of the problem sheet. READ the Nytimes article about breakthrough research on [|DNA and creating synthetic life] || (Chap 12) || May 19 || Finish any word to definition matching (using the [|word banks]) not completed in class. Watch any animations on DNA replication, protein transcription and translation that you felt were most helpful in understanding these processes. View the summary diagrams pdf on the DNA page of this wiki and try the self quizzing questions (no need to write down). Use those and the text to answer the questions in the HW worksheets (This is Chap 12, including the couple pages that say Chap 13 from an old book). Come to class with questions on anything that confuses you. ||
 * **__Assignment__** || __**Due date**__ || __**Explanation**__ ||
 * Final prep || June 11 or 14 || Prepare your 3 x 5 notecard with ONLY **evolution terms** you want to have to help during the final exam.-NO SCIENTISTS!! Remember it can only be one-sided and handwritten. Cards larger than 3 x 5 will be cut down to the approved size. You may turn it in early for approval-if it is turned in on the day of the exam you will need to wait to be able to use until it has been looked at-all terms/topics/names not allowed will be blacked out and then the card will be stapled to your exam for your use. ||
 * Review || June 9 || Study the final exam reviews(see myclasses for a folder with the 3 reviews) and come to class prepared with questions! A help session will be offered after school Wed the 9th at 2:30 and Thurs the 10th- starting at 12:35. ||
 * Evolution HW || June 7 || Complete the worksheets handed out in class. READ the evolution packet to get a background and basic concepts-come to class with questions! ||
 * Evolution HW || June 3 || Complete the worksheets handed out in class for Chap 15. Do your assigned research for your Natural Selection lab group on the key terms. Be prepared to teach it to your group. ||
 * Mitosis/Meioisis test || June 1 || Mitosis/Meiosis test- see myclasses for the review. Use text and notes and animations and HW worksheets to study. Review genetic notes and try the [|genetic word problems]
 * DNA/RNA test || May 27 || DNA/RNA/protein synthesis test-see myclasses for the review. Use text and notes and animations and HW worksheets to study ||
 * Help session || May 26 || After school open help session for anyone who wants to get extra help on the quiz for tomorrow. Come right after school. You can leave when you want if your questions have been answered. ||
 * Quiz prep || May 25 || STUDY the DNA test review in myclasses and the animations on this wiki and come to class with questions. ||
 * Mitosis/meiosis HW || May 21 || View the animations again on mitosis and meiosis, especially the comparison ones. Use these and your text to complete the comparison chart in your packet and do the worksheets. Suggestion: Color in the chromosomes on the mitosis and meiosis notes as explained in class to help you visualize better. ||

__Disease NING Project__

 * **__Assigment__** || __**Due**__ __**Date**__ || **__Expanation__** ||
 * Disease summary assessment || May 17 || Summary assessment for Ning-you will be using in class time to individually assess the posted information and use your graph to make predictions and offer suggestions. Become thoroughly familiar with the disease-reread all the sections as needed. You will be allowed to use it but time will be limited for your response. SEE BELOW FOR THE IMMUNE UNIT HW. ||
 * 2nd response set and data table and graph || May 11 || Complete the rest of the **responses**-you should have done all by now except you do not need to respond to your own primary submission. Turn in the completed **data table and graph**- be sure to check it against the criteria. ||
 * Responses and backstory pt2 || May 7 || Follow directions in the descriptor and on the Ning to respond to treatment and symptoms ( you may do others but these are required ( AP students can submit Sat). Also work in treatment(s) now to your original backstory. ||
 * Primary response || May 5 (can be in by 5pm) || Submit your primary response(your assigned topic for your disease) in the group page, into the header that is your topic(s). You will be the only one for your group submitting there at this time.
 * Follow the guidelines about writing it elsewhere, editing and then copy and paste.
 * See the [|rubric] to be sure you are doing it at the highest level to get full credit.
 * READ the given criteria on that page to be sure you are answering the required questions for that topic. *Remember that between this primary post and your responses to other topics, there will need to be a minimum of 3 citations-use the resources(they do not all have to be yours) to help you do this.
 * SUMMARIZE, do not make your work all direct quotes or slightly reworded- make it user friendly. ||
 * Backstory and resources || May 3 || *See the Ning description for this and read Black Plague ones for MS Wooten and I for examples.
 * Your 3rd resource submitted by now: the abstract, the hard copy and at least one other resource should be read and cited that you will actually be using. See below for more details on the hard copy and abstract sources. NOTE: See Virus unit below for the regular class HW also due ||
 * < Resources and research ||< Apr 29 ||< *A minimum of 2 resources due with proper citation: MLA formatting(NOT just URL!) and **include a brief annotation** as to what each resource is good for so others may use it for their own research. Please see Ning for more detail-see the Black Plague, the one I posted from Mapping epidemics as an example.
 * REMEMBER: you need at least one hard copy source ( a book or reference) that you photocopy and highlight-that is your "notetaking"-this is handed in. The abstract can be highlighted on your computer and shown to me. Both these citations are to be posted to the resource section of your disease. On-line articles, web sources I will check only through the resources section-you may take notes and summarize however you want for those-they will not be handed in notes. ||

__Virus/Bacteria/Immune__
