**Monday 12.5** Today we took the Genetics Test. For h.w. you need to read Section 8.1 in the book and answer the Section Review Questions. As always, these should be typed. Good Luck!

**Friday 12.2** Today we completed a practice w.s. on Protein Synthesis. Then, we went over the Mutations w.s. that was h.w. last night. Both of my Keys are attached below. The only h.w. is to study for the DNA test that is on Monday. I attached the Review Game you picked up today and another Review Sheet incase you want extra practice. Good luck and happy studying! Have a great weekend!!!   

**Thursday 12.1** Today we took notes on Genetic Mutations. My PowerPoint is attached below. The only h.w. is to complete the Genetics Mutations w.s., also attached below.

**Monday 11.21** Today we finished watching the "Cracking the Code" video. For h.w. you need to read section 10.1 in the book and answer the Section Review Questions. These should be typed. Good luck!

**Friday 11.18** Today we did a Warm Up on DNA's structure. It is attached below. Then we F.E.S.S.ed the quiz. The last half of the period we watched "Cracking the Code." This video discusses the human genome project. We will finish it on Monday. There is no h.w. over the weekend! Have fun and relax!

**Thursday 11.17** Today we took a quiz on DNA Structure and Replication. There is no. h.w!

**Wednesday 11.16** Today we took notes on Identifying the Genetic Material; Section 9.1 in the text. My PowerPoint is attached below. Then we graded the Section 9.1 Review questions. My key is also attached below. For h.w. you need to read Section 9.3 on DNA Replication and answer the Section Review Questions. These should be typed. We will have a quiz on DNA Structure and Replication TOMORROW! Good luck studying!

**Tuesday 11.15** Today I collected the DNA Extraction Lab Analysis Questions that were h.w. last night. Then we completed the DNA Workshop Online Activity. The last half of the website was not working so we had to discuss it as a class. My key is attached below in case you were unable to get all the correct answers written down in class. There is no h.w. tonight! We will have a quiz on DNA Structure and Replication on Thursday 11.17.

**Monday 11.14** Today we saw DNA!!! We completed the "Berry Cool Extraction" Lab (attached below). The only h.w. is to complete the Lab Analysis Questions.

**Thursday 11.10** Today I collected the 9.1 Section Review Questions that were h.w. last night. Then students watched the video, "Ghost in Your Genes" and completed the w.s. that is attached below. There is no h.w. over the three day weekend!

**Wednesday 11.9** Today we watched the Brain Pop on DNA and then took notes over DNA Structure and Replication. My PowerPoint and Guided Notes are attached below. Then we went over the 9.2 Section Review questions that were h.w. last night and the DNA and RNA activity from yesterday. Tonight you need to read section 9.1 in the textbook and answer the Section Review Questions. These should be typed. The Extra Credit Article and Reflection is due this Thursday.
