Putting the Polish on Chapter 12

jesse & jadon?
         MAKE NOTE: Art will be on Thursday from 3-4. PLEASE BRING your journals, along with any ideas & stuff to put in it.  *****************************

Lots of Bookwork: this is preparation for the test, which will be next week on chapters 11-12.   This will take a lot of time, I think.
You may also wish to review by re-watching past videos.

1. Quizlet vocabulary [FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS.]
Print out chapter 12 vocabulary http://quizlet.com/8484791/print/
select mode: "small" and print out the 3 pages of vocabulary words.  On these pages, DRAW A PICTURE to represent EACH WORD.  [If you wish you may use the large size which takes 7 sheets of paper. You can double-side and make index cards to study from.]  Everyone should make their own copy.

Video: RNA splicing introns exons (reading interactive,  5 min.)
mRNA splicing 1 min.
DNA mutations 1 min
base pairing 1 min.
Chargaff's rules  1 min.
DNA packaging  1 min.

2. Chapter 12 Assessment, problems 1-25.
1-10 Multiple choice questions, just write letter answer.
11-25  Copy question and answer it in sentence or paragraph form. Illustrate if you wish. It would make sense to put these on 3x5 index cards to study from.

3. page 316 "Make a Model" (end of page) --For now just think about how you could do this.  I might do this for a grade. Or I could give the option of writing the letter to Mendel, described right above. ADDed NOTE: Yes, this will be for a grade, and due on the day of the test, like the Thursday following this one. 

Advanced students: You may wish to understand the lac operon -- which is how the genes which digest lactose (milk sugar)  in a bacteria, E. coli, are expressed or inhibited. here is a video lac Operon  3 min.
or if you are really crazy smart, try this http://www.youtube.com/watchhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3dyxgSdKs4&feature=related (5minutes)
Think about this:
"most eukaryotic genes ...are much more complicated than those of the lac operon"  Whoa. God is crazy smart.

  1. Just the model is due correct? Not the letter? And also, can we make the model in groups?

  2. yes, you may work in pairs, but I will require you to justify this by making it to a higher standard. You must find your own pair; it is not required to work in pairs. Also, both students must be actively participating, and it must be done outside class.

    Alternatively, you may write a 1-2 page typewritten letter describing genes, DNA, and the secret of replicating life, gratefully acknowledging his contributions which set the stage. This letter should not be a gushy "how nice" thing, but should explain the scientific concepts we have been studying.
