Monday/Tuesday: notes on the human circulatory system. You will get about 20min to work on books in class.
Wednesday (55min): Your choice- you can use this time to put the last touches on your book and/or review for the quiz. If we have time we will briefly present the books. I recommend looking at each other's books to help review for the quiz (also the review guide, in Unit 4, also Mader text book and Bozeman Science videos).
Thursday/Friday: quiz on Digestive, Excretory, Respiratory, Circulatory systems, in animal phyla and humans. Format will be multiple choice, probably some labeling, probably some comparison of systems across different animals, including humans (remember, when in doubt the answer is surface area!). The quiz will be designed to be finished in about 35 minutes to accommodate Friday's half day.

Books and Upcoming Quiz
As mentioned before, book projects are due on Wednesday April 1st. On Monday/Tuesday we will do notes on the human circulatory system, but it shouldn't take all class. You can use the remainder of time to work together on the books.
I made a folder within the Unit 4 folder to share your book to when done. You all have editing privileges so you should be able to upload the books. Each of you should review the other books to prepare for the upcoming quiz, which will be on Thursday/Friday. Friday is a half day so the quiz will be short (30 min) for each class.
Review guide is posted in the folder (Review guide DERC: digestive, excretory. respiratory and circulatory, get it?). Look it over this weekend and come in prepared with questions.

Upcoming Work
The "Integrated Body Systems" project is posted in the unit 4 folder. Please check there to see who is in your group. This will be especially important to coordinate for sophomores who may miss class during MCAS next week. The project will be due on April 1. You should download Book Creator (free version from App Store- although technically only one group member needs this), and the Skitch app (also free) may be useful for labeling your drawings.
The next two systems we will discuss will be the respiratory (gas exchange) and circulatory (internal transport) systems. I suggest reading these chapters either the day before or the day after we discuss them in class. Below is the schedule for next week- posted so sophomores (or anyone) can plan ahead. It should help you plan out your reading and prep for the book project as well.
Monday: Jellies will discuss excretory system. Squids no class.
Tuesday: Jellies no class, Squids will discuss respiratory system in animal phyla.
Wednesday: Jellies will discuss respiratory system in animal phyla, Squids will discuss respiration in humans. Link to lung model HERE
Thursday: Jellies will discuss respiration in humans. I will be out this day: you should read over the lecture notes on your own.
Friday: (no MCAS) Both sections will be discussing circulation in animal phyla.
Because sophomores will be missing class,and I will be out one day, I will be posting lectures with notes filled in for respiration (both for animals and for humans). Between the notes, the text, and other resources like Bozeman Science, you should be able to piece things together, with maybe a few questions to ask on Friday.

Reading on Digestion
Squids- Tuesday night, Jellies- Wednesday night:
Please read and take notes/highlight/underline CH 14 on Digestion, pp 260-271.
Also please download the free version of Book Creator from the App Store for an upcoming project. (Don't tell any other teachers- you only get one book on the free version!!)

Intro to Unit 4, Anatomy and Physiology
HW tonight (Monday night 3/16) is a little bit of a hodge-podge of different readings, just laying the groundwork for this unit.
All can be found in the Mader folder. Please read and take notes on
Ch 11: pp 206-207 (overview of body systems)
Ch 11: pp 210-212 (how homeostasis is maintained)
Ch 30: pp 618-620 (overview of animal phyla)
Tomorrow we will begin with the digestive system.

Biotech resources
For anyone who was out at the field trip today, you can run through this virtual lab on gel electrophoresis: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/labs/gel/
In class on Wednesday/Thursday, the virtual DNA microarray: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/labs/microarray/. If you are out one of these days you can review 2 of 2 Genetics Recombinant DNA.
