WEEK 1 - 3/16/20 - 3/20/20
1. |
Here's where we left off: We finished the instruction of the material for the genetics unit. We still have work to do mastering the content, but you've been introduced to everything. This week your focus should be on reviewing the material (as if you were going to be taking the test as scheduled - which you will NOT be actually doing now!) . Click on the link below for the content you should review.

This was assigned the day before the school shut down. Feel free to print and complete if you missed school Friday 3/13/20

WEEK 2 - 3/23/20 - 3/27/20
1. |
The following project is intended to summarize the genetics unit. You do not need to print the instructions (they're 8 pages). You're going to make a fictitious baby. You will look at your own characteristics, as you'll be one of the parents, and, in this time of social-distancing, you can pick anyone (say your favorite celebrity) to be the other parent. Print the data sheet, grab a coin and complete at your own pace. The entire project should take 2 hours.

2. |
The next assignment should require about 1 hour to complete. It is a "practice test" for the genetics unit similar to what you have received in class before. The idea is that it presents a number of problems that ask you to demonstrate your ability to apply the material from the the current unit.

WEEK 3 - 3/30/20 - 4/3/20
1. |
These two assignments focus on scientific investigations that established the function of DNA (which we already know/learned). You should read about the experiments and (if you are able) color the diagrams.

2. |
The next two assignments are to help you understand the structure of DNA. Do one or both. The first is one of our "good old" coloring worksheets. The second is different - if you're into origami, I suggest you try it.
