Field Trip to Benedictine University

Assalamu Alaikum.

We really need to figure out the transportation to Benedictine, InshAllah. I know Reama said her mom could possibly provide us with transportation, but that wasn't confirmed.

InshAllah if we could figure this out... the sooner the better.

AP Bio Exam

Assalamu Alaikum.

This is just to let you know that tomorrow you will have to give me your final decision of whether you will or will not be taking the AP Exam in May.

You've had some time to think about it, and the deadline is very soon. I encourage all of you to take the exam. AP classes do not seem complete without the exam.

Thanks.

Free MIT CourseWare

Below is a link to lectures by an MIT professor that they recommend for AP Biology. The link goes straight to the lectures about the mechanisms of evolution (because that's what we're learning about right now in class). However, feel free to play around. There are some good resources here to assist your learning.

Virtual Fly Lab

Below is the link to the virtual fly lab.

http://bioweb.wku.edu/courses/Biol114/Vfly1.asp

After going to the webpage, READ the introductory information and directions. Make sure you understand what is going on before actually performing the lab.

Once you have read and understand, you choose two flies to mate, and the website will give you the result of the cross. This page will also give you some questions to answer. Make sure you answer the questions to all of the questions. Do this for four different crosses of your choice. Make sure you have your answers ready to hand in by Wednesday, February 17, 2010.

Chapter 19 Discussion

Assalamu Alaikum.

InshAllah you girls have enjoyed a few days of break! I do want to get through at least a couple of chapters with you before school starts again, and InshAllah test the first week we get back. You have already read chapter 19, so go back to review it, and see if you have any questions or if there is anything you need help understanding that I can explain, InshAllah.

P.S. Let your friends know to check the blog if they haven't.
