  • Intro to Cell Cycle and Regulation

  • I am out today, so you’ll work to get the basics of the cell cycle and its importance! You got this! You should:

    • 1. Watch this linked Ted-Ed video to get an idea of the cell cycle’s role in cancer.

    • 2. Watch/take notes on Daily Videos 4.6 1 & 2 and 4.7 in AP Classroom. You are welcome to move around the room/use headphones to watch!

    • 3. Individually or with a partner, work on the AP Questions labeled “Cell Cycle Practice.” If you want to practice timed conditions, you should allot yourself 10 min 30 seconds to complete the 7 total questions!

    • 4. Pat yourself on the back for a good day’s work!

D/E Day

Unfortunately, I am out again today. I will have all your quizzes and tests organized in your folder next week for review. Please use class time today wisely. You can study for AP Bio or work on something for a different class.

  • Go over Unit 2 tests and Unit 3 quizzes

  • Fermentation Lab
