3/11/10 Menstrual Cycle Lab

We did a lab where we graphed the menstrual cycle hormones. This lab report is due on Monday, 3/15.

We will continued the Human Reproduction unit. Notes for the unit, Human Reproduction , are available in several formats:

• 2 slides per page in color, large format for viewing
• 6 slides per page in black & white, for economical printing
• 3 slides per page in black & white with room for notes on one side.
• The entire PowerPoint presentation with media included and a viewer in compressed (approx 7 MB) format.
• Link to a textbook for the current unit (approx 1.1 MB)that follows the course presented in class.
• Worksheets for the Human Reproduction unit. This worksheet must be completed for Friday, March 12.

Homework:

• Lab report for graphing the menstrual cycle hormones is due on Monday 3/15.
  
• Review the notes.
• Continue to enter data for the long term data collection project.
• The first March project is online. If you want extra credit, you will need to do both projects. You are required to do one of the two projects, each month.

For Friday we will be continuing work to understand Human Reproduction. The following sites contain useful information for this unit. For a grade, you will have to complete the multiple choice questions on Castle learning. Log in and answer the questions on the multiple choice assignment titled, "Human Reproduction". Since this is an "open book" type evaluation you are required to get 80% or over to earn a grade. If you score below 80%, you will get no credit for this assignment.

Students that got below 80% on their first try have the opportunity to try again. Do the assignment "Human Reproduction #2" and get over an 80% to get credit. Remember, don't just take it as a test, look up the material to make sure that you have it. Students that got over an 80% can get extra credit. If you complete the #2 assignment and get over an 80% I will add 25% of your #2 score to your original test score. If you completed the first assignment and are satisfied with it, you can study any of the additional materials or go on to the next unit materials, on the sites below. Students have until class begins on Monday, 3/15 to complete these assessments for credit.

You will have until Monday morning, when your class starts, to complete this, including class time today and Friday. Each student must submit their own answers. You are welcome to work on them with partners, unless you are assigned singly to this or if you and a partner have not completed a previous assignment.

In school you should limit your browsing to these sites. At home you are free to look at any sites you wish. Please beware that these topics may find you links to undesirable sites.
