Learning ObjectivesWe will fill in learning objectives (LO) on the evidence log before starting Big Idea 3. LO are what you need to know & how to do for Big Idea 3. After finishing units on Big Idea 3,please complete the Learning Objective Evidence Log and submit on due date.
Big Idea 3: Information will be divided up further into thee units:
Mitosis/Meiosis & Mendalian Genetics, Molecular Genetics, Cell Signal and Physiology |

All lab report need to follow the lab + poster rubric. Any related activities to the main lab does not require lab report.
DNA ExtractionBe sure to complete the prefab portion and read the procedure before coming to class.
Operon Clay Modeling ActivityComplete the Model and write a short explanation of how operon works.
Pre-Activity: Meiosis Poker
Lab 7: Cell Division: Mitosis & Meiosis
Pop-Beads Mitosis & Meiosis
Lab 8: Biotechnology: Bacterial Transformation
We will watch couple of technique videos in class and practice before we actually perform transformation lab.
- Using Plastic Transfer Pipet - Streaking a Bacterial Plate - Using a Digital Micropipet
In your lab report, please include background info (engineered plasmid, transformation method and arabinose operon) , purpose, procedure (flowchart), data (four plates), calculation (transformation efficiency), and conclusion (purpose, method, data, and transformation success)
Click on the link below to find some biotechnology techniques from BioRad.
Lab 9: Biotechnology: Restriction Enzyme Analysis of DNA
Prelab Activity: Please read the procedure and watch the video before coming to class. We will need to cast a gel a few days before actual lab. Watch the video in the link.
- Casting Agarose Gel - Gel Electrophoresis Prelab Write up in your notebook:
Post Lab Write Up: Completed Lab should include: Data (gel, graph, table), Conclusion (must include how many fragments each restriction enzyme produced, the size of each fragment), and possible protocol to use for the crime scene.
Lab 12: Virtual Fruit fly LabPrelab Activity: Watch the video before coming to class the night before the lab exercise.
