Wednesday October 12th

AP Biology- To start class off, the students finished taking notes over functional groups.  Then, I told the students to make notecards to help them study for the functional groups quiz (which will be tomorrow).  Finally, I assigned the worksheet over functional groups (Chapter 4 worksheet).


Biology A- First, the students took notes over chapter 9.2 (mitosis).  Next, I explained the mitosis flip book bonus (due Monday Oct. 17th).  Finally, the students got into their lab groups from yesterday and worked on the Investigation 5.3 discussion questions.  Tomorrow the class will have Vocabulary Quiz #4.


Chemistry A- At the start of class, the students took a quiz over nomenclature.  Then, they went to the media center to work on WebAssign.  The WebAssign is due on Monday.  Also, the test over nomenclature will be tomorrow.
