Essential Questions
"How does DNA control everything about me?" "How are all living things related?" DNA webquest Packet Part A - Genetic Code Chapter Part B - DNA Video Lesson Part C - DNA - RNA - Protein interactive HONORS - Part D - Genetic Medicine |
The study of biology joined the ranks of the other true sciences with the invention of the microscope in the late 1600's. The discovery that every living thing is made of the same basic building blocks - the cell - unified the study of all living things. It goes deeper though...not only are we built of the same basic blocks, all living things are coded and processed in a universal language. DNA and RNA are the chemical sets of instructions for life as we know it. In this unit we will learn to read this code and delve into the one unifying language that links every living organism on this plant.

Sub Day plans
Continue working on your DNA FINAL Project (DNA FINAL Project - HONORS). If absent yesterday, get handout from sub and ask for an explanation from a classmate once you have read the handout. Keep the room chill and a place where everyone can work thoughtfully. These are due on Thurs/Fri and there are no retakes...so knock it out now please!!! Also...be nice to Mr. Waddell! Missed class? Study up here... Take notes on the presentation up to slide #1-24 and #43-57; then read the online chapters linked below.
