Lesson Plan for Monday 4/20/2015!

Early Work:  What topic in this two year class will require the most review on your part?

Daily Schedule:  

1. Early Work
2. Look at syllabus topics on the IB Biology Review Guide link on my website
3. Pick 2-3 topics that you want to review the most and get an orange and blue book from the shelves.  Find the topics, look at the diagrams, and take notes.  You might find that the topics from your syllabus are not numbered quite the same in the new books.  You might have to use the index to find some of them, although most of the topic numbers have remained the same.
4. Remember that we are taking a practice Paper 3 Test on Friday, Paper 1 next Monday 4/27 and Paper 2 next Wednesday 4/29.  
5. There is a SPARK lecture today at 3:30!

4/20-5/1:

• Mon 4/20:  Review IB topics using the new orange and blue IB books.  Use IB biology study guide on the links to help figure out what you need to know.  I recommend reviewing plants!
• Wed 4/22:  Review of both years Jeopardy!!  Questions on our two options, Further Human Physiology? or Evolution?  Paper 3 Practice Test on Friday.
• Fri 4/24:  Take Paper 3 Practice.  Afterwards, review some topics, like lactase and milk, transcription, translation, plants!
• Mon 4/27:  Take Paper 1 Practice Test (40 multiple choice).  Afterwards, review some more IB topics.
• Wed 4/29:  Take Paper 2 Practice Test.
• Fri 5/1:  Last day for Review!! IB Exams start Monday 5/4.  Students who are not testing should come to class because we have lots of fun things to do!

4/13-4/17

• Mon 4/13:  Start Reviewing Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration.  Questions on Reproduction Review for Wednesday's Test?  Continue working on data-based questions from new books.
• Wed 4/15:  Reproduction Test.  Work on Data-Based questions from new books (to be checked off on Friday).  More review of cellular respiration and photosynthesis.  Hand-out Paper 3 Review.
• Fri 4/17:  Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis review quiz.  Review replication, transcription, and translation.  Review Further Anatomy and Physiology.  

End of 4th Quarter

• Mon 4/6:  Notes on the placenta and a little bit on labor and birth.  Quiz on Water, Macromolecules and Cells on Wednesday.
• Wed 4/8:  Take Quiz.  Pick up Diabetes data-based question and do it.  Exchange with another student and use the IB Markscheme to score each other's.  Do not give away points.  When in doubt, don't award the point!  In new IB books (orange and blue) pick 3 out of the following 5 data-based questions to do on notebook paper.  I will check these off next Wednesday/Friday including the diabetes question.  Reproduction Test on Wednesday 4/15.  There is a review document in the document section of this site.

Data-Based Questions from new Book:

1)  Antibiotic resistance in soil bacteria, p. 257, Topic 5.

2)  Heart action and blood pressure, p 301, Topic 6

3)  Hemoglobin, p. 371, Topic 7

4)  Auxin and acid growth hypothesis, p. 424, Topic 9

5)  Blood supply to kidney, p. 488, Topic 11

Let's Start Reviewing! Water, Macromolecules, and Cells. Quiz on Wednesday 4/8

These are main review topics for water, macromolecules, and cells:  The quiz will be mostly multiple choice, with a few short answer questions.

1. Be able to describe and draw what causes the polarity of water molecules and show the hydrogen bonding between 2 water molecules
2. Be able to name and describe the cohesive, solvent, and thermal properties of water.
3. Be able to identify the subunits of macromolecules, including amino acids, monosaccharides, fatty acids, glycerol, and the arrangement of the parts of nucleic acids (ribose sugar, phosphate, nitrogenous base)
4. Be able to describe how 2 molecules are joined through condensation synthesis and apply to the macromolecules that we know.  Similarly, understand that hydrolysis is the opposite process.
5. Be able to give 3 examples each of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides and briefly describe their role in organisms.
6. Be able to list the functions of lipids and the difference in energy storage between lipids and other molecules.
7. Be able to describe the structure of DNA and RNA, including subunits, covalent bonding, and hydrogen bonding.
8. Know the 3 basics of cell theory.
9. Differentiate between unicellular organisms and multicellular organisms.
10. Be able to put the following in order of size from smallest to largest:  molecule, thickness of cell membrane, virus, bacteria, organelles, eukaryote cells.
11. Know the ultrastructure of both prokaryote and eukaryote cells and be able to recognize the parts from electron micrographs!
12. Be able to draw both of the above cells.
13. Know the functions of cell parts and organelles.
14. Distinguish between plant and animal cells.
15. Be able to describe the structure of a plasma membrane (lipid bilayer) and describe its properties.
16. Be able to describe movement across membranes, including diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and active transport.
