Biology (5th Period) / Chemistry (4th Period)
Biology
"Good morning, everyone. Please take your seats while I pass out the syllabus and lab manuals. Before you leave, please take your textbook with you and begin reading chapter one."
Week 1/2. Setting the Stage
- The unity that underlies diversity
- Science as an organized, accessible manifestation of human curiosity
Week 3/4. Patterns:
- The core of a biology course:the unifying principles that underlie the fascinating diversity of life.
- Science as an organized, accessible manifestation of human curiosity.
Week 5/6. Energy:
- How living creatures transform energy
- How energy flows through organisms and through communities.
Week 7/8. Information:
- How the four-letter language of DNA spells out instructions for building millions of life forms.
**Field trip to the Body Farm**
Week 9/10. Machinery:
- How DNA's instructions are translated into molecules of RNA and then translated into proteins.
Week 11/12. Feedback:
- Homeostasis: how cells, organisms and communities regulate
internal environments.
Week 13/14. Community:
- How a cell diversifies into communities of specialized cells, organs, system feedback loops, and how individuals interact and organize.
Week 15/16. Evolution:
- How the river of DNA information flows across generations
- How the information of DNA is sifted and sorted by cells, and environments.
Week 17. Human Anatomy/Review
-Brief overview of human anatomy.
-Review for final exam.
Week 18. Final Exam/Experiment
"Also, please make note of the class rules. This course will be both lecture and lab intensive. Consequently, three consecutive unexcused absences will result in detention. This is your first and only warning."
Chemistry
"Good afternoon. Please make note of the class rules, required materials, and attendence requirements. This course is lecture and labwork intensive. Three consecutive unexcused absences will result in detention."
"I'm passing out this semester's syllabus. I don't want any of you to be surprised by the material we will be covering. If you have any questions, please see me after class or during my office hours.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maias_notebook is your TA and will fill in for me during any absences."
