Week of January 9th

Date	Plan	What we did
Monday	SUB 1) Please respond to the following prompt in your google doc where we have been responding to cells questions. a) In thinking about our body systems unit, what topic is of most interest to you.  Consider that we need to connect it to the different systems of the body. Is there a disease/disorder that you would like to learn more about? - Please take the time to respond with topics or diseases of interest or questions you would like to learn more about.  Based on your feedback, we will formulate a plan on Tuesday or Wednesday. 2) Please finish up the assigned Google Pres evolution questions. 3) Today you should be able to finish up the Evidence for Evolution worksheet that has the skeletal structures on the front (homologous, analogous and vestigial features). 4) Then you can work on genetics practice questions.  Complete the questions from the booklet that you worked on last week. - Answer Keys Monohybrid and Dihybrid practice problems Genetics Practice Questions (Monohybrids & Dihybrids with incomplete, codominance and multiple alleles) Genetics Practice (Dihybrids with incomplete, codominance and multiple alleles) ***The sub will have this handout for you. 5) Or you can work on the last reading in the evolution worksheet - Evidence for Evolution.
