Monday Catalyst
1. How do you look
similar to your
parents? Different?
2. What do you think
causes for these
similarities and
differences?
Congrats!
To those of you who scored over 85% on
ANY objective you were tested on:
Cell organelles
Prok vs. euk
Transport
Bioenergetics (photosynthesis and cell
resp)
Unit 3 Test Reflections
Complete the reflection
Trackers need to be out!
(10 minutes)
Field Trip!
• Heading to Atlanta, Georgia to visit
TWO exhibits
• Bodies: The exhibit

How?
• Hold a passing grade (70% or better) in
biology
• No referrals from this date until field trip
date
• Turn in $12.00 to Ms Kuipers
• Signed parent permission slip
The Catch
• Only fifty students fit on the charter bus
we’re taking to Atlanta
• First come, first serve.
• Will be removed from list if grade starts
to fail and/or if given a referral from
ANY teacher
• Monies and permission slip to be
collected starting NEXT Monday, 3/11
Individual Conferences
While I am calling students up, you are
completing 3 things:
-Test Corrections
- What’s the right answer? Why is that
the right answer? COMPLETE SENTENCES
-Pre Test on iPads
-m.socrative.com (room number is on
the board)
-Start/finish Vocabulary for Vocab for Unit 4
Tuesday Catalyst
• What was your “student-friendly”
definition for gene
• Review/New : What are
the three parts of a
nucleotide?
Where are we?!
You be the Teacher
• ½ DNA structure ½ DNA Replication
• Edu.glogster.com to create
poster/presentation
• Your “students” must be able to fill
out the notes in your packet (poster
should include all information to do
this )
• Help them with the practice

Homologous Chromosome
• Each chromosome has a
‘corresponding” (or matching)
chromosome from the other parent.
• It has the SAME GENES!
• In Mitosis, they line up on TOP of each
other in Metaphase
