Wednes-Day 1
Bio - we covered all but one of the remaining evolution topics; we compared and contrasted Darwin's Theory with the more enhanced and accurate Modern Synthetic Theory of Evolution. We then discussed some of the more specific features of the modern theory: sexual vs. asexual reproduction adaptations in a changing vs. stable environment, convergent and divergent evolution, geographic isolation and eventual reproductive isolation causing speciation.
We then discussed the Heterotroph Hypothesis.
We discussed classification in order to discern evolutionary relationships. In doing so, we talked about Dichotomous Keys, how to use them, and how to create them based on a series of questions of opposites i.e. "does have trait A (go to 2), does not have trait A (go to 3).
AP Chem- we covered a released part I exam, discussing lab techniques, and specific redox processes e.g. galvanization. This is due on Thursday (unless you see me about handing that in later). Remember, work must be SHOWN for each question.
