Monday: Cell Cycle Review

HW: Study for our test and do the Gimkit for extra credit

Tuesday: Cell Cycle Test

Wednesday: Test Boost and DNA Vocabulary

HW: Complete the vocab if you don’t finish in class

Thursday: DNA Double Helix Assignment

Friday: DNA Extraction Lab

 

Honors Biology Lesson Plans:

Monday: Finish Friday’s assignment and do the Cell Cycle Control and Cancer TRG (pages 23-25)

HW:  Complete the TRG if you don’t finish in class

Tuesday: Cell Cycle Virtual Review and Gimkit for practice
