Students are wrapping up Section 3, pages 61-68. In their notebooks they should have the key terms(page 75), section review(page 68) and a drawing of the cell cycle from pages 64- 65, the last two assigned for homework if not finished in class.
Since we went over the answers in class I will expect them to have completed these assignments and have them in their notebooks before they can participate in constructing DNA double helices in class tomorrow. This is a hands on activity covering pages 67-68.
Next week will be spent covering Section 4, and reviewing for a test on Friday.
As you know Friday afternoon will be spent outside with our "Pumpkin Chunkin" launchers. Parents are invited.

Quizzes from last week passed back. No homework last night or tonight(Thursday). We're wrapping up a lab with some graphing, analysis, and conclusions. This is being done in class but if not completed by Friday, I may have to put a sense of urgency to it by assigning the write up over the weekend.
We've started collecting leaves for our leaf albums and will be spending class time pressing and organizing our albums.
