Here's a link an  ultimate disc team which is varsity girls from a high school in Wisconsin.  We're currently trying to form a team at Pitman of both girls and  boys during winter months to compete with the many established  regional high school teams in the region.  Please come to B220 to sign up as an interested player.

We will be finishing the Mendel Genetics unit by Tuesday which is when the test is scheduled next week.

11/19/13

Packets for part 1 of the genetics unit are due Wednesday, we will have some time in class, but complete what you need at home to avoid losing points for being late.

Wedensday 11/13

Tomorrow we'll be continuing with probability determining 25 traits.  After 1500 "flips" today of all the classes heads came out with just 7 more than tails.  It was 50.3% to 49.7%.

There will be a quiz on Friday covering the lesson we did today.

Second quarter progress reports are already open so please try to get in any extra credit by the end of the week.

Wednesday 11/6

Wednesday is a minimum day and the scheduled quiz has been postponed until Thursday.

You will need to know the cell cycle labelling the stages of interphase, and the steps of mitosis.  You will also have to calculate the percent of time a given cell is in the stages of mitosis based on average cell life spans.

You will also need to know the process of meiosis, mitosis, and why cells divide.  It will not be multiple choice and worth 30 points.

I will accept packets at the beginning of class Thursday, though we will not have time on class tomorrow to work on it.

11/4/13

WOW, week 12 already.

The Mitosis and Meiosis unit ends on Wednesday.

We'll be finishing the vocabulary test on Tuesday and turning in the packets on Wednesday before the test that same day

Next unit is genetics!
