4/24 Biology Update and homework due 5/1
Hi folks,
Today in biology we began our investigation into plants by basically taking a look at the basic classifications of plants. We will be doing more with this next week.
I found an interesting article on the internet regarding human genetic modification. It's something we've talked about in class a bit and it looks like it's been tried in China. It's worth a read if you have time.
For homework next week please read chapter 28 in the text book. Pages 563 - 576.
Answer questions 1 - 16 on page 578.

Biology 4/17 update and homework due 4/24
Hi folks,
Today we studied the disgusting but amazing world of bacteria. Perhaps, literally as we tried to capture some and culture them in agar. Nothing happening with them yet, but I'm hoping.
Homework for next week is to:
Read pages 461 - 479 in the text book
Do questions 1-2 and 4 - 17 on page 478

4/3 Biology update and homework due 4/10
Hi folks,
We had a great class today. The pro vs. anti-GMO debate was a lot of fun and really covered a lot of great topics regarding the issue. Well done everyone!
For homework next week, I'd like you to tie 10 of the concepts we've been working with in biology this year to the topic of GMO's and give me at least one example of how GMO's are related to the concept.
For example, human beings are part of the food chain and GMO's may help in providing food for the ever growing population of humans. (Or not if the Failure to Yield study is accurate.)
Good luck folks!
