"Carl Sagan has been a huge influence in my life. Getting students to always wonder why is a large part of my classroom philosophy. It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness! Much of today's public beliefs are based in psuedoscience...so question everything!"

| BIOLOGY II: Seminar #1: Chapter 11 Tour Part I "Introduction to Genetics" |
Read Chapter 11 (pages 262-274) before coming to seminar. We will begin Genetics. Gregor Mendel used pea plants to put together a great story of how traits are inherited from parent to offspring. The chemical factors that determine traits are called genes. We will see how the segregation of alleles explains gametes coming together during fertilization to produce new offsrping. Genetics is all about probability. It will be important to use the Punnett Square to understand how homozygous and herterozygous alleles can be used to predict the genotype and the phenotype of offspring. The Chapter 11 Review, the Probability Worksheet, the Punnett Square worksheet, the Meiosis Lab and the Chapter 11 Test need to be completed by the end of the week. Check out BozemanBiology on Mendelian Genetics and Chromosomal Genetics. |

| BIOLOGY IV: Seminar #1: Chapter 26 Tour "Sponge and Cnidarians" |
Read Chapter 26 (pages 656-675) before coming to seminar. We now begin a 2 month tour through the Animal Kingdom 95% of which are invertebrates. Chapter 26 introduces the animal kingdom and covers the form/function of sponges and cnidarians (hydra, jellyfish, sea anemone, coral). Please review the Sponges and Cnidarians Notes PowerPoint. Check out the Sponge and Cnidarians Webnotes if you do not have PowerPoint. Practice the vocabulary with the Chapter 26 Flashcard Quiz. The Chapter 26 Review, the Embryonic Development Worksheet, the Sponge Lab, the Hydra Lab, and the Chapter 26 Test @70% should be completed this week. Check out the following videos: Sea Sponges, Sponge Feeding, Sponge Reproduction, Super Jellyfish, Cnidarian Eating, Budding Hydra Animation, Coral Spawn, Coral Asexual Reproduction-Budding. |
