Review: Given a picture of a macromolecule, go through the enzymes and steps it takes to break it down in humans.
1.) Start Homeostasis and food breakdown conversations.

Friday:
1.) Dependent and independent variable from yesterday?
2.) Ways to improve yesterday's animal experiment?
3.) Digestive Modeling: Given a Macromolecule Picture: Whiteboard what happens to that molecule and where by what enzymes.
Whiteboard to help others remember the steps to digestion in the small intestine. (Homeostasis, hormones, molecules, enzymes)
4.) Lecture Food Breakdown ppt. Start.
Pictures of different digestive systems and what do you think they eat.

Monday: Goal relate protein structure and function to homeostasis need.
1.) Proteins structure and function review (with cards: Hydrophobic interactions, Hydrophilic Interactions, Charge Interactions, Hydrogen Bonding)-Hammer home weakness of proteins as important reason for homeostasis. Tell story of two football players collapsing.
2.) Glucose to insulin steps review-Hammer Home Homeostasis (with cards)
3.) Act out conversations.
Homeostasis Parting thoughts...

Tuesday: Homeostasis Quiz: Explaining how body regulates amount of fat and blood sugar.
Give Same Cards as Yesterday and have students go over main points.
START WITH CELLULAR RESPIRATION AND GAS EXCHANGE role play.

1.) Proteins structure and function review (with cards: Hydrophobic interactions, Hydrophilic Interactions, Charge Interactions, Hydrogen Bonding)-Hammer home weakness of proteins as important reason for homeostasis. Tell story of two football players collapsing.
2.) Given molecules ingested. White board how they are broken down (where, what does it, how is it done?)
3.) Going over 20-24 Main Pictures
4.) Homeostasis Conversations Round Two (high and low pH, blood solute concentration)

Wednesday:
Khan Academy-Hemoglobin and Punnett Square Fun, Followed by Sex-Linked Traits Video.
Reading in the book the sections and chapter in book over circulation.

Thursday:
Same Cards as Tuesday and have students go over main points.
1.) Nitrogen Cycle Image and reading, Lagrange County Story.
2.) Hemoglobin Connection Reading-Blue Fugates of Kentucky
3.) Reading AP Practice Exam, writing 3 good features and 3 missing features from each others free response test.
4.) Homeostasis Comics: Conversation #2 (high and low pH, high blood solute concentration, low blood solute concentration)

Friday:
1.) AP Free Response Practice Going Over
2.) Homeostasis Comics #2.
Well Water Testing for nitrates, pH, and Chlorides: Introduction.

Monday:
1.) Take water home to have it tested.

Tuesday: Nitrate testing

Wednesday: Daphnia Experiment on circulation, use caffeine pills to test stimulant impact. Who gets back to homeostasis most quickly.

Thursday: Daphnia Graphing

Experiment: Two experiments, heart rate and person but they do the same activity.

Experiment: Blood Pressure and Images (Neurological and Circulatory Connection.

Dissection Cumination Project and Mid-Feb to spring break.

Monday: Echinoderm Dissection

Tuesday: Perch Dissection

Wednesday: Whiteboarding Heart Rate Experiment

Thursday: Project Start
Ultimate Goal: Students present the various features of the organisms we dissected in terms of the similar requirements of life but the different ways they go about meeting those requirements.
Requirements:
Reproduction
Obtaining Nutrients
Homeostasis
Digestion
Exchanging Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
Moving
Cephalization-Coordinating Systems

Groups of two will be describing the same system as it is in the different organisms. -First they will write an essay that traces the similarities and differences, including a description of the human system that completes this life requirement.
-They will make a video that shows images of the differing systems in the organisms.
-They will make a handout that the other groups can use as a study guide for knowing about the systems in each of the animals we dissected.
-The video should progress from the organism with the least evolved system to that with the most evolved system.
-In the video Be sure to include which phylum each organism is a part of.

Friday: Continue working on project. (Call in final ad)

Monday:
Continue working on project. (See Final Results.)

Tuesday: Snow Make-Up Day

Wednesday: Finish Projects

Thursday: Watch Projects, go into circulation and digestion chapters. 20.2, 20.12 through chapter 23. Go through notes on the chapters pretty quickly. Flip through the slides for the pages pretty quickly. Quiz over 20-23. in week and a half.

Handout Instructor's Guide Questions over the sections we are covering.

Friday: Notes over important sections from Chapters 21-23

Monday: Continued Notes over Chapters 21-23

Tuesday: Determine Controlled Experimental Design for Animal Behavior Lab. Do pillbugs prefer wet or dry conditions. Whiteboarding experimental design and data table creation. (Given 10 pillbugs, petri dishes, etc.)

Wednesday: Finish Notes from Chapters 21-23

Thursday: Blood Pressure Lab

Friday: Heart Rate Lab

Monday: Review Chapters 21-23

Wednesday: Chapters 21-23

Next Test

Animal Phylum Debate:
(10 minutes to prepare opening statements)

1.) Opening Statements (Three positives about your phylum)
2.) Responding to questions. If you are attacked by another phylum while they are responding to their question, you will get 20 secs.
3.) Closing Statements.
