New York: Prentice-Hall 2010 (e-text version) GRADING Quarter Grades will be calculated using the following formula: Test, Project Scores 50% Lab, Quiz Scores 30% Homework Scores 20% Exams are administered at the end of the first and second semesters. The mid-term exam will cover material from the first and second quarters. The final exam will cover material from the third and fourth quarters. Exams count as 20% of the semester average. STANDARDS AND EXPECTATIONS FOR 2012-2013 1. If we follow the 3 R's we will have a good year. The 3 R's are: Respect, Reverence, and Responsibility. 2. If you are not in your seat when the tardy bell rings you will receive an unexcused lateness. If another teacher detains you, get a note before coming to class. 3. You are responsible for bringing your Biology notebook, and a pen or pencil to class each day. You should purchase a three-subject notebook or divide one large notebook into three sections. Use a separate section for class notes, homework assignments, and vocabulary (prefixes and suffixes). If you desire you may use a loose- leaf notebook and make three separate sections. Homework may be turned in the day after the due date for one-half credit. I make every effort to post homework assignments weekly on the school homework web-site. Students are responsible for completing assignments given in class even if the assignments aren't posted on the web-site. 4. If you know you are going to miss class due to a school sponsored activity (sports, clubs, etc.) you must turn your assignment before you miss class. This year the science test day will be Thursday. It is your responsibility to arrange for make-up work. Please make up missed homework, labs, quizzes, and tests promptly. See the Student Handbook for Make-up guidelines. 5. Cell Phone Policy : If I see or hear your cell phone, or see you looking at it during class, you are in violation. I will follow the policy outlined on page 6 of the Student Handbook. 6. Technology Failure (ie. Internet Down or Printer problems) is not an excuse for not turning in work on time. 7. A Prefix quiz will be given each week. The purpose of theses quizzes is to build English and Science vocabulary. These quizzes are cumulative which means that you must review the previous terms and the new terms each week. These count 30% of the quarter average. 8. A creative project will be assigned each quarter. Each project counts as a test grade for the respective quarter. Here are the project due dates : 1st Quarter = 10/18 , 2nd Quarter = 12/06 , 3rd Quarter = 03/21 , 4th Quarter = 05/09 (Postponed to 05.30) 9. A novel will be read each Semester. The First Semester novel test will be given on 12/13 and the Second Semester novel test will be given on 05/23. 10. An extra credit novel may be read each quarter for a + 10 curve on a test grade. A specific list of novels will be posted on the homework web-site. Here are the extra credit novels for 2012-2013. If you read the novel and pass a test (10 short questions) you will receive 10 extra credit points on a test. Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel Mutation by Robin Cook The Boys From Brazil by Ira Levin Chromosome 6 by Robin Cook Reason for Hope by Jane Goodall Fatal Cure by Robin Cook Napoleon's Buttons by Penny LeCouteur Shock by Robin Cook (Note: You may only read one "Cook Book) The Legacy of Luna by Julia Butterfly Hill Dark Banquet by Bill Schutt Merle's Door by Ted Kerasote Dead Man Walking by Sister Helen Prejean My e-mail address is re@bmhs.us I don't check e-mail at home so messages sent overnight won't be received until the next day +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ STUDENTS AND PARENTS : I WILL POST THE ASSIGNMENTS FOR EACH WEEK IN THE SPACE BELOW.

(These are the "rungs" or "steps" on the DNA ladder)---if you make earrings, you could put 3 base pairs on each earring for a total of 6 base pairs 3. You should use 7 different colors or shapes on your model. One color/shape for each base (4 bases), a color/shape for the hydrogen bond, a color/shape for the Deoxyribose sugar, and a color/shape for the Phosphate group. If you can twist your jewelry into a double helix or spiral shape, that's great. If it won't work or will mess up your design you can leave it as a straight ladder-like shape 4.

The multiple choice will be answered on a bubble sheet so bring a #2 pencil. The short answers are optional---you may do as many as you can. For each Short Answer you get right you will receive one bonus point. There is no penalty for a wrong answer on the Short Answer questions so it is to your advantage to answer as many as you can and to work for the entire exam period. For example, if your score on the multiple choice was 77 and you answered 14 short answers correctly, your exam grade would be 91 (77 + 14) What to study ????? 1. Read the Chapters in the book and review your notes and answers for SA/CA Review your reading quizzes. Some of the questions will be taken directly from the reading quizzes and some will be new questions Even though we didin't do vocabulary for Homework, you may want to consider writing the definition for the Vocabulary terms for each Chapter. The act of writing helps you to concentrate. 2. Class Notes---Consider re-copying them. The act of writing forces you to concentrate and helps you remember them 3. Prefixes 4. Old Tests I'll make up most of the multiple choice questions and I'll use the notes and textbook when making them up. About 25 prefixes will be included in a multiple choice format. Many of the extra credit short answer questions on the exam will be exactly the same as the short answers from the tests. HERE ARE THE MAIN TOPICS ON THE EXAM : NOTES TOPICS : 1.

Botany (“Bot”, plant)- the study of plants. There are approximately one-half million known species. 2. Zoology (“Zoo”, animal)-the study of animals. There are approximately 1.5 million species of animals. 3. Morphology (“Morph”, form or structure)- the study of form or structure. a. Anatomy (“Ana”, separate ; “Tomy”, to cut)- the branch of morphology that studies large structures, organs, and systems. b. Histology (“Hist”, tissue)-the study of tissues such as blood, muscle, and nerve using a compound or electron microscope. c. Cytology (“Cyt”, cell)-the study of cells using a compound or electron microscope. Cytologists can detect normal or cancerous cells. 4. Bacteriology-the study of Bacteria and related organisms, both beneficial and harmful. Louis Pasteur is the modern “Father of Bacteriology” 5. Ecology-the study of the interrelationships of organisms with their environment. Global warming is a major environmental issue today. 6. Embryology-the study of the development of the zygote (fertilized egg) and its growth through the stages of pregnancy. 7. Entomology-the study of insects ; termites, bees, wasps, ants, etc. Entomologists study both beneficial and harmful insects. 8. Genetics-the study of heredity ; geneticists study traits passed from parents to children both beneficial and harmful. Gregor Mendel is the Father of Genetics. 9.

If you can't come up with a third term that's okay. You do not need to look up a third term in the dictionary. You do not need to give another example term for those prefixes with only one term listed. (this means that I can only come up with one term !!!) For example,"adipose tissue" will be the only term for adip-- We will have a prefix quiz each week. These prefixes are cumulative which means that each week you will need to know the old words as well as the new words for that particular week. Good study helps are : typing the list into your own computer, making up flash cards, having someone quiz you on the words Here is a sample quiz. Study first, then take it and see how you do. The quiz on Friday will follow the same format. Prefix Meaning Example --algia 1. 2. 3. toward 4. 5. 6. adenoid 7. no, lacking 8. ameb-- 9. 10. etc., etc., etc. Note that I give you one column and you fill in the other two columns. The order of the terms is different from the alphabetical list. I will have 13 out of 15 terms on Friday's quiz Thu. 08/23 Study for tomorrow's prefix quiz Fri. 08/24 Begin working on your "LORD The Giver Of Life Assignment Details were given in class and are posted below: Assignment : 1.
