Thurs-Day 1
Bio 3/6- we reviewed for the unit exam by completing our transcription, translation, and mutation exercise with the gene for normal and sickle-cell hemoglobin.
We reviewed the video that we saw at the beginning of the unit, now that we know each of the processes in detail.
We begin the second quarter KNOWING how crucial test-taking skills are in preventing careless errors and in confidently dealing with questions on any exam. Practice and employ these skills on tomorrow's exam: IDENTIFY keywords in each question (ANY answer that does not INCLUDE/ADDRESS the keywords is AUTOMATICALLY wrong on ANY exam!); PREDICT an answer based on your knowledge/pre-drawn LEGAL cheatsheet (information that you KNOW will be tested but are afraid that you might forget during the test). If your prediction is not found, ELIMINATE answers that are not possibly correct and guess among the remaining choices.
AP Chem- we discussed the solutions to the Schroedinger equation, which takes into account the wave and particle nature of the electron as well as all proton to electron attractions and electron to electron repulsions in ANY atom or ion!
The solved equation yields FOUR quantum numbers that indicated the energy (and APPROXIMATE LOCATION, most of the time) of an electron in an element.
