Welcome Back from Spring Break!!

Now is the final push before the end of the year!  Hopefully you got some rest and relaxation in and are ready to have a great end to the year!

• Mon 3/30:  A few notes on enzymes.  Finish Enzyme Worksheet for tomorrow.
• Tues 3/31:  Turn in Enzyme Worksheet.  A few more notes on enzymes.  Do enzyme computer simulation (explore enzyme action).  Then, in groups of 2 or 3, do the lactase computer simulation.  Answer all the questions on a separate sheet of paper, including copying the data table, making 2 complete graphs.  Substitute uncertainty (high-low divided by 2) for standard deviation and skip SEM.  Your graph should include uncertainty bars.  There will be 20 minutes in class on Thursday to finish this.
• Thurs 4/2:  Finish Lactase Computer Simulation and turn in (you only need 1 copy per group).  Start Enzyme Lab.  Try 3 protocols!

Week Before Spring Break (yes, I know this is posting kind of late. :) )

• Mon 3/16:  Notes on Translation!  Turn in Code Worksheet if not already.  
• Tues 3/17:  Review translation.  Computer simulations on translation (see website).  Jeopardy Review!!
• Thur 3/19:  Add up EW.  Turn in 16+17 Review (hand-written summary described on review sheet).  Take 16+17 Test.  Pick up Enzyme Worksheet and work on it.  It will be due Tues 3/31.  

Have a Great Spring Break!!

3/9/16-3/13/26

• Mon 3/9:  Notes on DNA structure and replication basics.  Work on Chapter 16 Worksheet, due tomorrow!
• Tues 3/10:  Practice Replication.  Get your worksheet initialed and then turn it in.  Start transcription.  Replication and Transcription simulations on the computers.
• Thurs 3/12:  More on transcription and start translation.  Genetic Code worksheet.  Start reading Chapter 17.  You will have a short test on replication, transcription and translation next Thursday 3/19 before Spring Break!  I will give you a review today.
