Chapter 8: Cell Cycle and Reproduction (I cannot add the PPT for this chapter, but the two videos below explain ch 8 material).

Ch 8 Review [|Chapter 8: Cell Cycle] now go to the activities on the right this will review the Cell Cycle, and Mitosis. Also go to [|Meiosis Review] and click on the activities for review of Meiosis. Review chromosomal Abnormalities, [|Chromosomal Abnormalities]

[|Virtual LAB: The Cell Cycle and Cancer] (http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/virtual_labs/BL_23/BL_23.html)

Test for chapter 8 should be on Monday April 18th (before the CAT Testing).

1) __design and carry out at least one independent investigation__ with a well written formal lab report. TIME Schedule for this independent investigation:  March 4th: Introduction: background, question, and hypothesis  **April 1st : Material and Methods and start experiment (take photos)**  ** MAY 2nd: Results with Narrative, Tables, and Graphs **  May 9th : Conclusion  May 16th : Overall Report, Poster, and Presentation


 * Objectives: Mar. 29 - April 7th**

**Honors biology** is intended as a ninth grade course for __highly motivated students__ who have demonstrated __an interest in science__. Honors Biology I is designed to give the student a more challenging and in-depth in study. In Honors Biology I, students are expected to work independently on a variety of assignments and accept greater responsibility for their learning. In addition to the outcomes in Biology, students are expected to: 1) __design and carry out at least one independent investigation__ with a well written formal lab report. TIME Schedule for this independent investigation:  March 4th: Introduction: background, question, and hypothesis  April 22nd : Results with Narrative, Tables, and Graphs  May 9th : Conclusion  May 16th : Overall Report, Poster, and Presentation  2) read and report on recent research in biology Example: Acid Rain Assignment More of these reading and writing assignments in the future. 3) demonstrate a more in-depth conceptual understanding of all biology outcomes. Example: More analytical question on the test & graphing results on quizzes.
 * April 1st : Material and Methods and start experiment (take photos) **
