Unit+6+–+Biotechnology

**Monday 2.6** Today we went over the written portion of the Biotechnology Test and F.E.S.S.ed the scantron portion. There is no h.w. tonight! Enjoy the next 2 days of Odyssey. We will start the next unit on Reproduction on Thursday. For those students who would still like some extra practice with Recombinant DNA technology or gel electrophoresis come to the Remediation session. See note below.

REMINDER: Biotechnology Test Remediation Thursday morning before school at 7:30 in Room 8024
**Friday 2.3** Today I collected the Review Sheet that was h.w. last night and we took the test. If you were absent you will need to make that up in the Testing Center when you return. There is no h.w. over the weekend! Enjoy the nice weather!

**Thursday 2.2** Today I collected the Seeking Justice Analysis Questions that you should have completed last night. Then we discussed the Are You My Mother? Lab. Then we went over the Tools of a Genetic Engineer Lab and practiced making Recombinant DNA again. My Key is posted below for these two activities. For h.w. you need to complete the Biotechnology Review Sheet. I have also posted a link to a website for extra practice. Good luck studying! If you have questions, email me, or I will be in Room 8024 tomorrow morning.

REMINDER: Biotechnology Test is TOMORROW!
Here is a link to a website for extra Review. []



**Wednesday 2.1** Today we looked at some sample DNA fingerprints and discussed how to interpret one. Then groups looked at the gels that you made yesterday in class. I have attached a picture of a groups gel below. I will collect the Seeking Justice Lab Analysis Questions tomorrow. Now you should be able to answer #1–6. These should be typed. Then we began the Are You My Mother? Lab. You need to finish this for h.w. along with answering the Analysis Questions. These do not need to be typed. Good luck!

REMINDER: Biotechnology Test is this Friday 2.3




I collected the Tools of a Genetic Engineer Analysis Questions and Conclusion. Students completed the Seeking Justice Lab in class. For h.w. you need to answer Analysis Questions #3–6. These should be typed. We will look at the gels tomorrow in class and then you can answer #1 and 2. The gels are soaking in the stain right now. Good Luck!

**REMINDER: Biotechnology Test is this Friday 2.3**
**Tuesday 1.31** Today I collected the Tools of a Genetic Engineer Analysis Questions and Conclusion. Students completed the Seeking Justice Lab in class. For h.w. you need to answer Analysis Questions #3–6. These should be typed. We will look at the gels tomorrow in class and then you can answer #1 and 2. The gels are soaking in the stain right now. Good Luck!

**REMINDER: Biotechnology Test is this Friday 2.3**
**Monday 1.30** Today we completed Part B of the Tools of a Genetic Engineer Activity. You need to answer the Analysis Questions and write a conclusion for h.w. Don't loose the Recombinant DNA you made in class. You will need to turn that in tomorrow as well. You also need to complete the Pre–Lab questions for the Seeking Justice Lab we will do tomorrow in class. I have attached the handout and pasted the link to the YouTube that you need to watch. Good Luck!

**Friday 1.27** Today I checked in the Genetic Engineering of Insulin w.s. that was h.w. last night and we went over it as a class. My key is attached below. Then we discussed the results from the Electrophoresis Lab we did on Wednesday. The link to the video clip I showed in class is below along with my key to the lab. Students then had the last 10 minutes to begin the Tools of a Genetic Engineer Lab. Whatever you did not finish is h.w. Handout also attached below. Remember, you only need to complete Part A and answer the analysis questions for Procedure A. JUST READ AND ANNOTATE PART B OF THE LAB. We will do part B (making recombinant DNA) together as a class on Monday. I want you to overview the processes involved in Part B prior to Monday's class. Have a great weekend!

**Thursday 1.26** Today I collected the Gel Electrophoresis Lab Analysis Questions and Conclusion that was h.w. last night. Then, we took notes on Section 11.1 – Genetic Technology. My PowerPoint and Notes Outline are attached below. I have also included links to the two animations that I showed today in class. For h.w. you need to complete the Genetic Engineering of Insulin w.s. I have pasted the link to the YouTube video that you need to view in order to complete the w.s.. The w.s. is also attached below for you. Good Luck!

Here are the links to the animations I showed in class. Watch them again. They are really great! [|Making Recombinant DNA 3D Animaton] [|Genetic Engineering to Produce Insulin]

Here is the w.s. that is h.w. along with the link to the YouTube video. []



**Wednesday 1.25** Today I collected the Gel Electrophoresis Online Activity that was h.w. last night. Then, we did the Gel Electrophoresis Lab in class. For h.w. you need to complete the Lab Analysis Questions and Conclusion. The handout is attached below for you. I have also posted pictures of results from my Second Period class. Use these images to answer the lab questions if you were a group that did not have time to see the final results in class. FYI: The pigments moved towards the positive pole. Good Luck!

**Monday 1.23** Today students watched a video on DNA and forensic science. For h.w. you need to read section 11.2 and answer the Section Review Review Questions. As always, these should be typed.

**Friday 1.20** Today I collected the Section 11.1 Textbook Review Questions that were h.w. last night. Then, we finished watching the Anastasia video from yesterday. The rest of class students worked on the Biotechnology Web Tutorial. Whatever you did not finish in class is h.w. Have a good weekend!

Here is the website and handout for the Biotechnology Web Tutorial! Good luck! http://wps.prenhall.com/esm_krogh_biology_3/0,8750,1136613-,00.html

**Thursday 1.19** Today we watched the video "Anastasia." We will finish the last 10 minutes tomorrow in class. For h.w. you need to read section 11.1 in the textbook and answer the section Review Questions. As always, these should be typed. Good luck!

**Wednesday 1.18** <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Today we watched a YouTube video on transgenic sheep that produce the protein that makes a spider's silk in their milk! The link is below. Then students completed the online activity, Engineer a Crop. The handout is below along with a link to the website. Whatever you did not complete in class is h.w.
