1. Complementary base pairs- The nucleotides that fit together to form the DNA double helix, adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine . Here is a visual, if the original strand of DNA has the following bases:    A T C G A T T C G A T (ORIGINAL OR TEMPLATE)Then the complimentary bases would be: T A G C T A A G C T A (COMPLIMENT TO THE ORIGINAL) 2. Replication- the process of copying the original strand of DNA to form a new, IDENTICAL, strand of DNA so that when the cell divides the daughter cells have the same exact genetic information as the parent cell. 3. Mutation- any change in someone’s strand of DNA, it could be a few letters (bases) or just one base. 4. Protein synthesis- using a cells DNA to code for and then make a specific protein needed by the cell, three types of RNA are needed to do this. 5. Trait- a physical characteristic or feature of a person (ex; brown hair, tall, diabetic, blue eyes) 6. Genes- the segments of a person’s DNA that code for a cer...

Window pane project grade will go in on Friday! Have your window pane notebooks in the basket by Friday Morning if you would like to fix any of them for an improved Project (TEST) grade. If they aren't there by Friday I will average your current grades together for a test grade. TODAY: Focus on Biotechnology- complete your handouts using the links in this document https://docs.google.com/document/d/14GnLAt5GugvzHyoyAuXO-z00M0P13z0wXie044lFqdk/edit?usp=sharing

If you have time over break and you're interested in "cooking" shows you may want to check this out! Last year students read "Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan and they really liked it so this may be interesting to you too! http://michaelpollan.com/books/cooked/netflix-documentary-series-cooked/ Due Monday- November 28th! Go to the attached google document and  sign up  to create a video on a topic that we have already covered in class (even if only briefly!). You need to re-teach the topic in a 3-5 minute video.  Teach us something new too! This will be your homework over  Thanksgiving Break! Try to have a little fun with it. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ggMj5b5FakSCiXzFBuPVlErUerUPl7NXluB9nPWbSJQ/edit?usp=sharing                                                 Here's a link to screencastify but you can use any app you want to do this! h...

Due Monday 11-21-16 Watch this video- 10 min https://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_bubbles Find one article about an oil spill in another country and write a summary review for your project. Make sure the article is from a news source in THAT country.  Use this search-   site:ir (ir is the country code for Iran) so type in "site" then ":" then replace the "ir" with the code for the country you want to investigate and whatever other terms you want to use. List of country codes: http://data.okfn.org/data/core/country-list Due Monday- November 28th!

Evolution window pane list: Due Tuesday (11-22-16) window pane terms: 1. evolution- the concept that organisms change over time. 2.Abiogenesis- the concept that life arises from non-living organisms 3.Biogenesis- the concept that living things can only come from other living things. 4.biochemical evidence- using an organisms chemical make-up ( genetic code and proteins) to show how related they are to other organisms. 5.Vestigial organs- structures in our body that do not serve a purpose, remnants of our ancestors. ex. appendix and tailbone 6.acquired traits- traits that you obtain in your lifetime- these are not evolved traits- learning to play an instrument, or losing a limb. 7. natural selection- when organisms evolve as a result of who they chose to reproduce with, over time (millions of years) this results in a new species. 8. adaptive radiation (example = divergent evolution) - When new species develop from one common ancestor as a result of some sort of isolation. 9.convergent e...
