Fri-Day 1
Bio 3/6- we discussed and drew examples of the various types of point mutations as well as the types of large-scale chromosomal mutations.
We showed how a substitution mutation could result in an altered/mutated sequence of amino acids thus forming a different, usually non-functional, protein.
We then did a lab activity simulation of transcription and translation.
AP Chem- we did some Planck equation calculations for various frequencies and wavelengths of EMR/light.
We then slowly and painstakingly spent almost the entire period explaining the photoelectric effect, which is crucial in understanding the particle nature of light. This knowledge is required in order to begin to understand Bohr's Model of the atom.
The 1st quarter multiple choice bonus exam (only available this quarter) will be given Monday after school. There is no makeup, due to the logistics and security of the exam. Your score cannot negatively affect your quarterly average but, if you score higher than your current average, your grade will be averaged in to your quarterly grade- there is no grade replacement.
As always, there is extra help in Room 308 on Monday morning. Will nobody be there again?
