Yes, you can (and are encouraged to) do test corrections! Corrected items earn 1/2 credit back toward that test grade. You can submit ONE set of test corrections per marking term and they can be submitted up until 2:45pm on day that grades close for the marking term. Note: THIS IS OPTIONAL, so no test corrections will be accepted past that deadline.

We've gone outside on a quick scavenger hunt with our phones.  In each group, students have chosen three living organisms and three nonliving things to take pictures of.  Then, we've headed back into the classroom to analyze our data as follows:
Three living organisms and explanations as to why each was classified as "alive"
Three nonliving things and explanations about why they are not considered to be "alive"

Topics to know for 2.4 Test:
Vocab terms: Enzyme, Catalyst, Active Site, Activation Energy, Endothermic, Exothermic, Substrate, Reactant, Chemical Reaction, Product

Concepts:
-Endothermic vs. Exothermic chemical reactions
-Factors that influence enzyme activity (temperature, pH, etc.)
-Stable = less energetic
-Reactants form products during chemical reaction
-All chemical reactions involve changes in energy
-Activation energy is needed for all chemical reactions
-Bond energy (stored in chemical bonds of molecules/compounds) is the "energy" that changes during chemical reactions

This is a great tool to use as a study guide, but be sure to review other concepts as well (endo/exothermic)

Below are the two links that you'll need to access today's in-class activity about karyotypes.**Open both links so that you can work concurrently on them**

Arizona State University: http://www.biology.arizona.edu/human_bio/activities/karyotyping/karyotyping.html

Online Worksheet: https://goo.gl/forms/iGGTBkL2fYYKVFg73

When you've submitted the "Online Worksheet" (which is due by the end of class time today) you'll begin working on a Google Site.  Here's the information that you need to complete the site (also due by the end of class today):

Open a Google Site & share it with your partner as well as lcollins@mccanntech.org then choose ONE of the chromosomal abnormalities that you've recently researched and create a website with the following information:

1.) Abnormality

2.) How it's different from a normal human karyotype

3.) 5 symptoms/characteristics of this abnormality

4.) 3 additional facts about this condition

**Be sure to CITE all of the sources of your information **
