Biology+20

Welcome back!! Hope everyone had a good break. I hope those of you that haven't handed in your background research spent the whole christmas break finishing this up!!
 * __Agriculture__**
 * __Intro to K. Plantae__**
 * __Jan 6th.__**

Here's what you need to do for today's class... 1) Using the notes handout provided to you, go through the following PowerPoints and complete the required information 2) If you get finished, create a rough draft (just on loose leaf) of your experimental plan for your research project and what materials you might need. This is not the good copy that will be marked, but gives me an idea of whether or not you are on the right track and what materials you might need. **This is due at the end of class (if possible) or for homework and handed in tomorrow.** - Finished watching "The Arctic Tale" - Reminder: Those of you that haven't handed in your background research for your project are WAY overdue... I need this before the break if you expect any marks!! - Enjoy your holidays!! - Discussed animal observations (homework assigned on Wednesday). Organized observations into innate and learned behaviours - Started watching "The Arctic Tale." Using the three main species (polar bear, walrus, and seal), record 5 observed behaviours for each species and explain whether they are learned or innate. - Finished Fungi Station Lab - Started Open Book Exam - Reminder: Due date for background research has been moved to Friday Dec. 10th - This class:
 * __Dec. 21__**
 * __Dec. 17__**
 * __Dec. 15__**
 * __Dec. 13__**
 * __Dec. 9th__**

1) Work on background research. If you are finished, start figuring out your experimental plan - what you are going to do, what data you will collect, what materials you need, variable and controls etc. Once you come up with a plan, you can start to write your procedure out. 2) Finish Virus Video - if you prefer to do your research for homework, you can work on editing your virus video (if you aren't finished)

- Virus Videos due - Started Kingdom Fungi Station Lab media type="youtube" key="scPOQC_Lpgo?fs=1" height="385" width="640" Bio Exam - Review for exam - Last class to work on Independant Research for Project. Research report is due Wednesday Dec. 8th

Answer questions 6 to 8 on page 296
 * __Nov. 29th__**
