Short Quiz on Cell Division, Mon 1/23

1) Be able to identify cells in phases of mitosis and interphase (onion root tip cells)
2)  Be able to describe events of cell cycle from interphase, through all phases of mitosis, and cytokinesis.
3)  Be able to distinguish between cell division in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
4)  Be able to ""                ""               ''                     plant cell and animal cells.
5)  Be able to briefly describe how cyclins control the cell cycle and why knowledge of this is important!

Post-Snowpocalypse!!

Well, I hope we have those snow days out of our system now.  Here is the plan for the end of the semester:

• Thurs 1/19:  Notes on the Cell Cycle.  Finish the cell cycle worksheet and get it checked off.  Go over Onion Root Tip Pictures from On-line Game.  Cell Division Quiz on Mon 1/23.
• Mon 1/23:  Short Cell Division Quiz.  Start Reviewing for the Final Exam:  a little bit of statistics, cells and membranes.
• Wed 1/25:  More review for the Final Exam:  water and biochemistry.  Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis.
• Fri 1/27:  All late work must be turned in by today.  Kahoot Review for the Semester Exam.  Any last questions??  
• Mon 1/30:  All book group reports must be turned in through turnitin.com by 6:00 pm today.

First Weeks Back!!

• Wed 1/4:  Review Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis.  Start Cell Division.  Look at Khan Academy site on mitosis and watch Blood Lily Mitosis.  Start working on Cell Division Worksheet.  1-11 due by next Monday.  Start reading 1.6.
• Fri 1/6:  Take Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Test.  Continue working on Cell Division Worksheet up to and including question 11.  If you finish that, read pages 56-59 on cyclin control of the cell cycle, tumors, cancer, and smoking.
• Tues 1/10:  At your table use string,yarn, and other materials to simulate binary fission and mitosis.  Get teacher check off.  Look at microscope slides of onion root tip mitosis phases.  Practice calculating index of mitosis.   If done today, turn in Cell Division Worksheet.
• Thurs 1/12:  Notes on control of the cell cycle and cancer.  Data Based Question on pp 58+59 done in notes.  Start reading 10.1 on meiosis
