BW:How many protons are in Carbon? Today we did test corrections and introduced our new unit by watching Bill Nye Biodiversity. 3.30 BW: What are 2 characteristics of asexual reproduction? Today we took the Heredity Test! 3.29 BW: Explain why you flipped the coin 6 times for skin color. Today we reviewed for the test and put our packets together. 3.28 BW: Why is Homozygous Recessive the only genotype to allow a recessive phenotype? Today we are finishing up our Baby Labs and introducing the class to our offspring! 3.27 BW: Cross a Homozygous Recessive father with a Heterozygous mother for the following trait: B=3 eyes, b=2 eyes Today we started our Baby Lab. We are seeing how genetics works on a very basic level. Make sure all of your papers are complete, as our review is Wednesday and our test is Thursday!

We have been learning basic genetics! 3.23 BW: Explain the difference between selective breeding and genetic engineering. 3.22 BW: Why is genetic engineering so debated? Today we watched a short video about genetic engineering benefits/costs. We started our practice assignment. Make sure this is done by Friday! 3.21 BW: Why is selective breeding beneficial to humans?

BW: Explain a few ways horses have evolved over time. Today we finished our Horse Fossil activity. It will stay in your packet! 3.17
BW: What is selective breeding? Today we started our Horse Fossil activity. It is paper #7 in our unit. If you were absent, you will need to go to SMART time to make it up! 3.16 BW: How is it an advantage to have genetically identical offspring? Today we did our Close Read activity for Selective Breeding. Make sure to turn this in! 3.15 BW: How was your beak successful? Unsuccessful? Today we made our graphs, analyzed our data, and discussed our activity. 3.14 BW: What are two variations in cats? Today we tested our bird beaks with our food rotations. 3.13 BW: Explain how camouflage is an adaptation. Today we are finishing up butterflies, and building our bird beaks! 3.8 BW: Explain Natural Selection. Today we went over grades and put up our butterflies! 3.7 BW: Why does Earth layer? Today we did the back of paper #4. We discussed adaptations and our new butterfly assignment.

BW: Explain what an adaptation is and give two adaptations in elephants. Today we did our adaptation simulations! The websites are on the paper! 3.2 BW: Do scientists always follow the "scientific method"? Why or why not? REMINDER: 5 days left in the quarter! Please have all missing work in by MONDAY! Today we introduced traits by doing a few fun simulations! This is paper #5. Here are the website links: http://sciencenetlinks.com/interactives/evolution.html peppermoths.weebly.com 3.1 BW: What are 2 benefits of asexual reproduction? Disadvantages? Today we did an activity in class to demonstrate our knowledge of the types of reproduction. We completed the back of paper #3. If you were absent, make sure to talk to me so I can sign you up for SMART time to complete the activity! 2.28 BW: What will happen to the circumference of a balloon if placed in the freezer? WHY? Today we looked at different examples of parents/offspring and decided which type of reproduction was used. We used the front of paper #3 and the powerpoint below.
2.27 BW: Of solids, liquids, and gasses, which expand and contract the easiest? WHY? Today we learned all about the differences/similarities between asexual and sexual reproduction. We filled out the back of paper #1 with the powerpoint below.
