Short quiz on Monday; don't study for it, just read the review sections in the study guide and go over what you may still be fuzzy on.

Something to think about: I'm just wondering, was this section on evolution helpful for you?  Let me know your reactions, how was it helpful or confusing, did it make things clear or was it ridiculously redundant? If you could be specific...  Thanks for the input.

ART homework:  Working on Susan's cookbook, come with your paper, recipes, ideas, camera?? on Thursday and again on Monday after science. 

Homework List (Done by next Tuesday):
Seven Days handout: The Message of Genesis 1
Hardy-Weinburg Equations : finish all questions  and math work on Monday's experiment handout.
Textbook: Chapter 16.3 with study guide.
Review Chapters 15-16 for upcoming short test.

Read Seven Days, chapter 4, "Human Beings: A Special Creation"
(2nd part of the  last handout)

Consider our unfortunate bare bunnies and and the modeling experiment that we did Thursday.  What other scenarios of natural selection could you model with the beans?  leave comment:

Here is my example (sorry, I picked the easiest one):

    What we looked at was a trait which resulted in 100% removal of the ff genotype and eventually the f allele.  But what if  50% survived? How would you model that, and what would you expect the results to be?   I would remove only 1/2 of the white beans (ff). I hypothesize that the two lines representing allele frequency would move apart, but would stabilize before the f allele was wiped out.

So there you have it.  Now you think of something. And leave a comment.

Read Chapter 3 of Seven Days handout, by John Lennox.

Read Textbook chapter 16.1 & 16.2  +study guide.

Finish any homework left from last week.

Finish reading chapter 15.3+ study guide, and to do the "experiment" on the last 3 pages of that chapter 15 review handout, involving aliens. You may play this experiment/model/game with others in your family, if you wish.  I think I will save yesterday's handout on the days of creation for next week.  Thanks.

To review 15.3, watch Evidence of Evolution (10 min.) take notes.
I want you to be able to express what evolution is, and what are the types of  evidence.  (This is not to say I expect you to agree/disagree with anything presented.)

Reading: Chapter 15.3,first half ( pages 378-382) with study guide

Natural Selection by Paul Anderson 10 min
 please take notes
Examples of Natural Selection10 min
 please take notes
 Also if you find opposing viewpoints or new information (other sources) on stuff mentioned (like the peppered moths) please bring that in.

And read the handout from the book,
Seven Days that Divide the World, by John Lennox,
chapters 1 and 2, But Does It Move? A Lesson from History/A Lesson from Scripture.

If this takes more than 2 1/2 -3 hours, let me know and we can spread it out ; I know Friday is very busy so there is a little more up front.  thanks for your diligence.  And please write/highlight in your books and on your papers notes and reminders of what is said, and your responses to that. 
Please bring your books and handouts to class.

btw, does anyone have grow lights or short shop lights for Thursday's experiment?


LOOKING AHEAD: If you would like to get Friday's homework mostly done, it will be to finish reading chapter 15.3+ study guide, and to do the "experiment" on the last 3 pages of that handout, involving aliens.

Homework: 
Read chapter 15.1 & 15.2/study guide.
