Thurs-Day 1
AP Chem- we mainly discussed various laboratory questions, the measurements made in each lab, and application of the collected data using the relevant formulas.
We then did one of the latest AP Part II questions, the rest of which is due for hw on either Friday or, if you have the AP US tomorrow, on Monday. I also posted another Part I multiple choice exam WITH answer key; just show your work/reasoning and we will analyze these any questions to which you did not understand the answer on Monday.
I have extra help after school every day and the morning OF (starting at 6:30 AM, with bagels!) the AP Chem exam.
Also, as you have been repeatedly informed earlier, this is a reminder that, after the AP Chem exam, NOTHING may be handed in/ accepted for credit. Nothing. Nothing will affect your 4th quarter grade after the AP Chem exam other than your final test, which will be given a few days after the AP Chem exam.
Saturday morning at 8AM, the last of the mock AP exams will be given. This one has the EXACT same format as the exam that you will take exactly 48 hours later! ALL students should avail themselves of this great opportunity to see where they stand and how they should use their remaining study time. I will be there and I will be brutally exhausted.
Bio 6/7- preliminary results on the Evolution exam look very good! Congratulations!
We began our final curriculum unit: Ecology (though we also do a review unit on the 4 state labs). Review books were also distributed; the hw calendar for that book will be posted on Blackboard and also be distributed in class. By the last week of school, we will have covered almost the entire review book.
We defined ecology and related it to evolution; we looked at essential language/terms for discussing things ecologically and gave examples of each term.
We then finished the data collection for the Beaks of Finches natural selection lab.
Bio8- preliminary results on the Evolution exam look very good! Congratulations!
