New Year, New Semester

1. Midterm #2 to review
     Grade record gaps? (Elena!)
2. Systematics loose ends
     propose primate phylogenies;  discuss lab Q

HW: Read/take notes: 4.1-4.2
         AP Exam takers should use the standards for the first two units as a checklist of your preparedness (download, or ask me for a printed copy.)

Although raw scores have been entered, grades are not yet final. Grades are due 1/8; check Jupitergrades after the winter break.

1. Homework stamped; stamps into grade
2. BLAST Results discussed, analyzed in lab groups
3. Midterm: Energy, Origins
   39 MC  •  3 of 5 short answer  •  1 of 2 FRQ

Enjoy Winter Break! Check your email occasionally in case I am having trouble viewing your project presentation

1. PPT - a few last slides
2. Projects shared
3. Blast data generated; phylogeny hypothesized?
4. POGIL finished? 

HW: Define Origins 2 vocab
        Finish POGIL
       1 HW buffet items for review (options on ORIGINS page)
       Consider using the additional resources as review for the exam too (watch a Bozeman video to review energy, etc)

1. Lab A: Class Phylogeny, continued
    quantify nucleotide differences
    compare to tree
2.. Lab C: BLAST protein comparisons
     Introduced

HW: Finish your Endangered Species Project
        Ch 19 reading/notes
        Work on phylogeny POGIL
        Complete the Artificial Selection Lab stats
       stumped? Try this Excel template  period 1   period 2
       or use this calculator (tedious, but easy)
       

Students: resources for the current unit are on the ORIGINS page.

However,  this week, you will see other pages available on the menu bar in order to allow a colleague at another school access to my resources.

   Fast Plants: water! pollinate
   Show me your leaf stamps
1. Zonkeys discussed
2. Systematics: Reading notes stamped
     PPT
     Lab, part A: Class phylogeny

HW: Project due Friday
        Start systematics POGIl, vocab

1. Repro Isolation POGIL stamped, discussed
2. Quiz
3. Fast Plants: pollinating
4. Computer lab for FP statistical analysis OR Project research

HW: Ch 19 read/take notes - last one this term
         Zonkeys/SOAPs Annotations
         Finish the stats on the parent population of Fast Plants: averages, SD, graphed.
    

Fast Plants got ahead of us!

1.  Class agrees upon a trait to select for
      Survey your plants; save only 'top' 15% for trait
      Remove any opened flowers from those 15%

2.  Copy class data for this P generation
     Find average, standard deviation values
     2A: you may group the data into pairs; use midpoint of group in  SD calculation (midpoint of group value - mean)
    

HW:    Finish  POGIL+: Reproductive Isolation
            Read/SOAPS: Zonkeys are my Favorite Animal
            Quiz Thursday: Know/show vocab Origins 1
            Work on Project
 

1. Ch 17 notes stamped
2. PPT: Macroevolution
3. POGIL+: Reproductive Isolation

HW: rest, enjoy the break, be thankful for all you have
        (if you get bored, ot want to get ahead, you have the project , Ch19, vocab...)
