Begin working on review index cards (50 total= 100 points final grade) using the review study guide and your text book Each index card should review one concept from the Life Science Key Concepts Study Guide. Include definitions and diagrams. You may use both sides of the index card. Index cards should be hand written easy to read. Focus on the Life science page and include a card on the steps of the scientific method, dependent independent variables, and measurement in science, Below you will find attached a copy of the study guide.

, Write the word equation for photosynthesis. In what cell organelle does photosynthesis take place? Students were given today a review study guide which contains the content they learned in 7th grade life science. Students were asked to read the objectives covered and rate themselves on how well they think they know each topic. A list was made on the board with topics that students requested to review. Parents please go over this list at home as well, and help your student review any topics that they may need additional help. A copy of the list is attached below.

1. How would you write the alleles for a plant that is purebred tall?
2. How would you write the alleles for the offspring of a cross between a purebred tall plant and a purebred short pea plant? 3. What term did Mendel use for an individual with one dominant allele and one recessive allele? Today in class we discussed the concepts in chapter 10 lesson 2 on probability and genetics. Students got to toss a coin 20 times and record the number of heads versus tails, and compared that to their prediction. Students also participated in a group activity where they used coins to model Mendel’s cross between two Tt pea plants. (In pea plants, T is the dominant allele for tall stem height. The recessive allele for short stem height is t. ) Students 1. Placed a small piece of masking tape on each side of two coins. 2. Wrote a T (for tall) on one side of each coin anda t (for short) on the other side. 3. Tossed both coins together 20 times. Recorded the letter combinations that they obtained from each cross. Each cross represented one offspring. At the end of the activity we answered the following questions 1. Based on your results, how many of the offspring would be tall plants? How many would be short? 2. Convert your results to percentages. How do they compare to the results Mendel obtained? Students are expected to read chapter 10 lesson 1 and complete the figure questions.
