Natural selection and adaptation: insects and plants adapting to chemicals, how organisms find ways to survive. Technologies in Biology: Stem Cell Research, October 26 to October 30 Chapter 13, 14 What are some good and bad things within biology research? We are learning how to regrow tissues and replace organs and are also learning that some bacteria are becoming superbugs. Examples of Adaptations, Ancient Archaea, November 2 to November 6 Chapters 15, 16, 17, 18 Evolution, How Fossils are Dated, Evidence of Adaptation, how species move around the world Eukaryotic Evolution, Diversity, November 9 to November 13 Chapter 19, 20 Ancient fossils give us clues of what types of animals there were in the part and where they are now. November 23 to November 27: Break Types of migrations, genetic exchange, what is symbiosis? November 30 to December 4 Chapter 21, 22 Population Ecology: population distribution patterns, food chain, how ecosystems work Fibonacci sequence and how it applies to population growth. Community Ecology: animal societies, why we need pollinators, symbiosis, competition Global cycles, global climate change. December 7 to December 11 Chapter 23 Biomes and what parts of the world they are found in, types of climate, rainfall, water cycles, carbon cycle, temperature, ways to reduce climate change, environmental impact. Ecosystem Ecology: how rising temperatures affect populations, the Carbon Cycle Environmental systems and how they work together What can we do to help? December 14 to December 18 Chapter 24 Sustainability: thinking of the future, ways to reduce waste, energy sources that we could use. Group project: Teach us about an alternative energy source or material (bioplastic). December 21 to January 6 Break January 7 to January 15 Types of biomes and who lives there, and how: Desert, Tundra, Ocean, Arctic January 18 Break January 19 to January 22: Review Homeostasis and Anatomy, endotherm vs ectotherm, osmosis January 25 to January 29 Chapter 25 How many species adapt and stay cool or warm, how we maintain balance within our system. Digestion, nutrient absorption, active and passive transport, February 1 to February 5 Chapter 26, 27 How do particles move within cells? functions of digestive organs, absorption, obesity. Nervous system anatomy, nerve function, how drugs affect nerves, December. Coral Reef and Mangrove ecosystems, Reconnect and Review, February 8 to February 12 February 15 Off Ocean Life and the Connection to Land, Continents, February 16 to February 19 Examples of ecosystems and biolife interactions, February 22 to February 25 Watersheds and PH, Case Study March 1 to March 5 Reproductive Systems, March 8 to March 12 Chapter 28 How organisms work, cell membrane, sodium potassium pump, March 15 to March 19 Chapter 29 Write a paper on a biology topic that you select.
