As discussed yesterday you will sit an Easter test on Wednesday 23rd March.
This test will mainly focus on:
As agreed in class today your GM crop debate will now take place on Friday 11th March, and if time allows you will also present your Crop Protection presentations assigned by Mrs Kennedy. I shall also be collecting Homework 2 on Friday.
Please note that you will have Homeowrk 3 to complete for Monday 14th March, and I will hand this out on Friday.
You should also be revising for a check test on Wednesday 16th March.
***There are now only 60 days left before the Higher Biology Exam***
We have now completed the Cells & Reproduction topic and shall finish with a short multiple choice check test on Thursday 10th March 2016.
You can find additional revision notes and practice multiple choice tests (homework 6) on our class page on the right hand side menu.
Please create a poster presentation all about DNA for Tuesday 1st March 2016.
Your report should contain information about DNA profiling and why it can be both a good thing and a bad thing.
You will present your poster to the rest of your classmates. You will tell your class about your research in a confident and clear manner and will not read directly from the poster.
I have added some videos to the 1P8 class section on the right hand side of this page to get you started!
