pgs 82-83 Constructed respose prompts

You will receive 2 constructed response questions.  Please answer one on each page (82 & 83)

You may work with a partner, you will be given some short readings on Lamarck and Darwin to help with one of the prompts.  You will be given 30-40 minutes to complete your responses (Use the generic rubric on the back of the page to help).  You will then be given a content specific rubric to compare your answer to.

pgs 80-81 Allelic Frequency Lab

Procedures

1. Place 50 dark beans and 50 light beans into the bag. 
2. Shake the bag. Remove two beans. These represent 1 rabbit’s genotype (BB or Bb or bb).
3. As you remove pairs of beans, arrange and neatly organize the beans in two columns representing the two possible phenotypes (brown or white).
4. Examine the columns. Remove 25% (every 4th one) of the brown rabbits and 100% (all) of the white rabbits. 
5. Count the number of dark beans and white beans remaining. Record data in your data table.
6. Calculate % of both alleles. Record in your data table.
7. Begin the next generation by placing 100 beans into the bag. The proportions of beans should be the same as the percentages you calculated in Step 6.
8. Repeat steps 3 through 8 collecting data for 5 generations 
9. Graph the % or frequencies for each allele over 5 generations. Use a different color for each allele   (B or b). 

What you need on page 80 (completed with your data) as well as a graph (1 GRAPH 2 LINES) with the % or frequency over 5 generations.  We will complete page 81 next week.

 

pgs 78-79 Intro to Natural Selection

Go to adaptivecurriculum.com (puhsmt-######)

Click on assignments (top left).  The assignment Natural selection should be assigned to you
Go through the module with a partner, write down information that you think is important on pages 78-79 including answers to the questions found in the learner journal.

Once you have completed the module take the assessment individually (one person takes it and then logs out of adaptive curriculum, the other person then logs in and takes the assessment)

AIMS prep (Thursday & Friday)

The AIMS science test is next Wednesday April 10th.
To prepare, we are going through the study guide and practice test.  
You can also log-onto study island and there are tutorials there.
Although it isn't required for graduation, you can only take the test once and it goes on your transcript forever.  As long as you take the test seriously and take your time (remember it is un-timed), there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to meet or exceed on this test.
