Housekeeping:  There was an error in last week's Housekeeping.  Here are the chapters HL will cover in addition to 1 and 2: 7 and 8.  Chapter 2's last chunk covers DNA, photosynthesis and respiration.  For HL, Chapter 7 is the DNA chap and Chapter 8 is the metabolism chap.  So after we cover Chapter 2, SL will be on an extended release while HL covers Chapters 7 & 8.

Your first test is currently scheduled for Friday August 30.  As we are covering only SL material, everyone will have exactly 45 minutes to take the test.  We will review the first half of the period and you'll test the second half.

We are now investigating the second part of Molecular Biology: 2.4 (Proteins), 2.5 (Enzymes), & 2.6 (DNA RNA Structure).

Housekeeping:  Welcome back to school!  For those of you new to BIS, I'm Dr. Holt, the Mad!Scientist! I will show you how to use this website.  Be sure to bookmark it for easy access. 

You guys need to begin researching IA topics.  You have some time this semester, but you need to get a topic approved by January.

This semester SL will cover Chapters 2 and 1 in that order.  For HL, this means that you will cover Chapters 2, 8, and 1.  There are several labs that go along with the content.  It is imperative that you stay on top of your coursework.  You will use a supplemental IB guide for in-class practice and homework.  I will let you know when the guides are ready for checkout.  

There is a lot of drawing in this course.  You are expected to keep an art kit (pencils, pens, erasers, markers, etc) in your bag so that you can sketch when the lesson calls for it.  The IB tests and exams will require you to be able to draw from memory.  

Chapter 2 is a very long chapter with nine (9) sections.  We will cover three sections at a time and you will be tested after each chunk. It will take about 1.5 weeks to cover each chunk.  You will have corresponding Kognity assignments for each chunk.  The first Kognity assignment has already been sent to you and is due next Friday.

Okay then, let's get into it.  Click HERE for Missions.
