check off pre-lab
do part A of procedure observing wild type of the fruit fly, draw pictures of each and put observations in Table 1
start part B of procedure, sign up for first cross of parental generations and fill in Table 2 about parental flies that were placed in the vials
do analysis questions #1 and 2
HW: Finish analysis questions #1 and 2 and continue Sweet 16 Drosophila Tournament.
MU: Get pre-lab for checked off, come in after school to make up part A of lab, join another group who signed up for part B to determine what parental generations were crossed, do analysis questions #1 and 2 and continue Sweet 16 Drosophila Tournament.
Continue AP BIO Lab 7: Genetics of Drosophila
determine the sex of flies that hatched
make new vial with food medium for your F1 crosses
HW: None
MU: Review AP FRQ questions linked above, review rest of Chapter 15 Notes linked above and get data from your group about your crosses.
Continue AP BIO Lab 7: Genetics of Drosophila
count and determine the sex of flies that hatched and then add to your F1 crosses
Using lab books, go through Statistical Analysis Section for AP BIO Lab 7 on pg 85-89 to learn about Chi-Square Tests
read through purpose and process as a class
work through one example together
do other examples on your own
Jump to AP BIO Lab 11B: Reproductive Behavior in Fruit Flies
read through introduction
watch Fruit Fly Mating Video
design an experiment to compare some variable with typical fruit fly courtship- include purpose question, hypothesis, procedure that includes what you will be comparing (manipulated/independent variable), and how you will compare (responding/dependant variable) including both the process and length of time, what you use as your control group, what variables you will keep constant to make sure your experiment is valid and create a data table to collect your data.
HW: Finish designing your experiment for Monday including all parts above.
MU: Get data from you lab group members, come in and get lab book to complete Statistical Analysis Section for AP BIO Lab 7 on pg 85-89, watch fruit fly video linked above and design an experiment to compare some variable with typical fruit fly courtship using AP BIO Lab 11B starting on page 132 including all parts above.
Test your Fruit Fly Reproductive Behavior Experiment
get design checked off
run experiment
make graphical representation of your data that will help to interpret you data
write a conclusion based on your experimental results.
Do Variations in Gene Expression Handout as a class using text book.
Brainstorm factors that will affect the traits seen within a population.
MU: Come in after school to make up your Fruit Fly Reproduction Behavior Experiment, get Variations in Gene Expression Handout from Berwick to compete and do HW.

AP BIO Lab #9: Transpiration
After reading the introduction section of the lab, write a paragraph or draw a picture that defines transpiration, and explains 1) the role of transpiration in the transport of water within a plant, 2) how water moves from roots to leaves in terms of the physical and chemical properties of water and the forces provided by differences in water potential, and 3) the structures used by plants to transport water and regulate water movement. Support your discussion with evidence from the test. What implications can you draw?
Set up apparatus for your groups data collection.
Copy down Data Table 9.1 and sign up for condition your group is going to test.
