Students!
Attention!!!
I was misinformed about grades.
The last day in the grading period is March 6th and my grades are due on March 8th.
If you want to have old homework graded for this quarter, it is due to me by March 7th.
Thank you.

Update
Hey guys,
I'm back in the ER with my daughter. Ms. Thomas will be back tomorrow. You'll have review time, your quiz on meiosis (NOT open note) and then she'll have your chapter review for you test Friday.
I miss you guys!
Text, email or call with questions!

Mendelian Genetics
I have to miss again. I am soooo sorry. I am now sick too!
Here's the link to the power point that is being shown in class today. I bolded the things you need for the test. The quiz will be only on meiosis. The things on the SPI review sheet are the things that will be covered on the quiz.
The medelian worksheet can be found here. It should be turned in for a classwork grade. If you want to work in partners you may at a LEVEL 1 voice. You still must turn in your own work.
If you have questions, or you find a video that goes great with this, drop me a line and let me know.

Meiosis
Hi friends,
I am sad to say, I have to miss school on Tuesday. But, I'll be back on Wednesday. Below is a link to a short review sheet for meiosis, and a link to the meiosis review. The meiosis review has everything for the SPI quiz. These should all get turned in for a grade!!!!

The link above is to the worksheet that you must turn in before you leave class!!!! The document, if it is not finished in class, they can take it home and finish it for homework. They can work together if they do not have a book, but they should all turn in their own work. The foldable on page 269 can be completed and shown to me for extra credit.
and of course....here's a video!!! (or a few...)
If you have questions, concerns or just need help, please email or text me!!!
See you Wednesday!

NMS Packets
Students!
According to MCS Policy if you FAILED a class for a quarter, the next quarter you can come to the teacher and get an NMS packet. That packet can be used to improve your grade from the previous quarter.
According to the policy, you have until 2 days before the end of the following quarter to turn the packet in.
So, if you failed the 2nd quarter and you would like to get the NMS packet in an effort to improve your grade, please let me know. You will have until March 4, which is a Monday, to turn it in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you did not fail, but would like the packet to use as review material, please let me know and I will be happy to get the information to you, as well.
Thanks!

Missing today...me.
Alrightly folks, it's a test of our awesomeness....
I am posting today's quiz right here. It's a comparison chart of Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration. The empty boxes have multiple choices listed below according to the number. All you have to do is label your paper for today's quiz... "SPI 3210.3.2" and then number your paper 1-10 and put your answer choice A, B, C or D for each number. Make sure your name and class period are on your quiz. Please, please, please do not use your book!!!!
For review for the Chapter 8 test, do the Chapter 8 review. Remember, the more extensive it is the more helpful it will be to you tomorrow.
Anyone who needs to retake a quiz, please email me or post in the comments. I will make sure I have enough so that if you have time after you take the Chapter 8 test tomorrow, you can take the quiz in class.
Questions? Email, post or text me.

Quick Update
Ok, a few housekeeping things...
1. Grades: Grades are going into the computer as fast as my little fingers can work...sorry I am not as fast as some would like. If you have a question about your grades, remember you can come after school to talk about them. We can't talk grades during class, it is disrespectful to you and your classmates.
2. Quizzes...very few of you have retaken quizzes, this will really help many of you in the grade department!!!
3. Questions....ask them! Lots of them! Post on the blog in the comments...answer each other! Start talking!!!
4. Quiz tomorrow. Please take time to study for it! The more you do now, the less you have to do later.
5. Homework....if you ahven't done this week's homework assignments, please do those first. Then do Chapter 7, then do Chapter 6. Try to stay current.
6. Test...dang scantron machine! I am hopefully going to be able to run the scantrons tomorrow... Cross your fingers!!!
7. Love and Respect. Guys, I have said it so many times it sounds silly, but I a mean it. I love all of you guys so much! You are all such amazing kids and I am so honored to get to call you all my school kids. I have the utmost respect for the work that you are undertaking with me and the fact that I really have not had much trouble from any of you (except for a few special moments). It makes the whole thing that much more enjoyable and honorable.
Keep up the great work and let's keep working towards 100% mastery! It's a long journey, but we're almost 1/4 of the way done! You can do it!!!!

Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration
SPI 3210.3.2: Construct a concept map to differentiate between aerobic and
anaerobic respiration
Your quiz for this will be different from normal. You will have a concept map. There will be items missing and the box will have a number in it. Each number will have four choices of something that could go in the box. In class on Wednesday we will create a concept map to demonstrate the concept. A DIFFERENT concept map will be used to evaluate your understanding of the similarities and differences of aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Vocabulary:

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration: a Comparison
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration are inverse reactions of each other.
They are opposites.
Photosynthesis
Phase 1 (light dependent reaction)
Begins with light energy (sunlight)
Light energy triggers the breakdown of water and carbon dioxide into ATP and NADPH
This process is called the Light Dependent Reaction, also known as, Phase 1
Phase 2 is known as the Calvin Cycle
the ATP and NADPH made in Phase 1 will be used to make glucose and Oxygen
The glucose will be used by the cell as energy or the basis for other larger molecules in the cell
The oxygen will be released into the atmosphere as waste
Photosynthesis is an anaerobic process. That means it DOES NOT require oxygen
Cellular Respiration
Cellular Respiration has two parts; glycolysis and the Krebs cycle
Glycolysis
When the cell breaks down glucose it makes two molecules of ATP and two molecules NADH for one glucose molecule
This allows the cell to take the energy (ATP) out of the glucose and begin the process of creating Carbon Dioxide waste
Glycolysis begins with an inhale
Kreb Cycle
In the presence of oxygen, the Kreb cycle will transport pyruvate and convert it into carbon dioxide waste
This cycle will create 2 molecules of carbon dioxide and 1 molecule of ATP
This cycle is also referred to as the citric acid cycle
Kreb Cycle ends with an exhale
Cellular Respiration is an aerobic process. That means it DOES require oxygen.
They are opposites.
