Welcome Back! (organic model day)

Welcome back!!  Hope everyone had a restful break :)

We are going to spend the next couple of days working on molecular models.

Click here for directions on what you need to build.  Please take a picture of each model (with a label of what it is as well as your names visible) when they are completed.  We should have enough models to work in groups of two.

Monday 12-16-13

Today at some point, please check your grade on Student-Vue.  
If you are missing a quiz grade, please fill in the google form below
If your notebook needs to be checked, you can come on Monday at lunch or during advisory.  This is the LAST CHANCE for notebooks! 
Today and tomorrow we are going to focus on questions about the final

SSA with resources

Click here for a PDF that has all of the learning targets with attached resources to study.  
It is by no means an exhastive list, but it is somewhere to start.  Remember that education portal is a great resources as well as Khan academy & even study island has an AP Biology section.  Also, adaptive curriculum has a search option where you can look for content that isn't specifically assigned.  

Please come in Monday with questions!  :)

Oh, and I will be grading pgs 86-89 on Monday (if you want any other pages checked, you need to come in at lunch or during advisory)

Work Day

Continue working on everything that needs to be completed.  
Don't forget to complete pgs 86 & 87
Chapters 16-18 review quizzes from the on-line textbook  & if you choose chapters 15-18 post-tests from the Mader book (also fill out the google form when you have completed them)

I have extended the deadline to MONDAY DEC 16th, but that means EVERYTHING including the SSA on pg 88-89 needs to be complete when you walk in the door.
You can still come in at lunch today to work, and if you want me to check your notebook, it is either today at lunch or Monday during advisory.

New for today -- molecular model activity for simple organic molecules (# 7 on the SSA)

pgs 88-89 SSA for Fall Final

Please complete the SSA for the fall final and tape into pgs 88-89

Grade Day

4th hour -- your notebooks are done.  

1. Check your grades.  I updated them with zeros for the assessments for a "worst case scenario" if you don't get things done by Friday.
2. DON'T FREAK OUT -- you have until Friday to fix it

I have made an on-line text book page (to help you remember where to go and what to do when you get there).  Remember it is Chapters 16-18 "review quizzes" that are being graded

Additional quizzes for "bonus points" are from the Mader book.  Chapters 15-18 for those (it is your choice to do these or not, they will help you prepare for the test for sure)

6th hour -- I will check your notebooks today.  

1. Check your grades as I have updated the on-line assessments as well for a "worst case scenario" if things aren't completed by Friday
2. again, DON'T FREAK OUT you have until Friday to fix it.

I have made an on-line text book page (to help you remember where to go and what to do when you get there).  Remember it is Chapters 16-18 "review quizzes" that are being graded

Additional quizzes for "bonus points" are from the Mader book.  Chapters 15-18 for those (it is your choice to do these or not, they will help you prepare for the test for sure)

As you continue to take the on-line assessments, please fill out the form below (it will make updated the gradebook infinitely easier)
