week of 13 April
Hi all,
So this week we will finish the notes on the muscular system. Please note that I am not going into as much detail as your book does -- this is intentional! If you want to read in greater detail, feel free. I am only testing on what we've gone over together in class. I am lecturing on Wednesday despite the fact that many juniors won't be here...sorry. There will hopefully be a work period in there too (for your muscle project).
Please remember that the test is on 29 April, multiple choice and short answer only. The essay portion of the test will be a take home exam part. As ever, come to AFT for help as needed! Ms. Leary
DUE DATES:
• Muscle test Weds 29 April
• Muscle project due Friday 8 May (for both p 3 & 4)
******Please see this note from Mrs. Jordan for seniors vis a vis the college wait list concept:

******Please see this note from Mrs. Jordan for seniors vis a vis the college wait list concept:
There are two sides to the college wait list:
If you have been wait listed at a college in which you're interested, email the college expressing your strong interest. This will increase your chances of getting called if they go to their wait list. Most kids do not accept a space from the wait list, so colleges try to choose those who are most likely to come.
If you have been accepted at a college that you do not plan to attend, email the college and tell them you're not coming. Do this as sooner rather than later; as you are sure you are not interested in that school. This will release your seat and enable them to go to their wait list sooner and offer a spot to someone else.
Questions? Come to Guidance and see Debbie Jordan.

week of 6 April
Hi everyone,
This week we will finish the events at the neuromuscular junction and then talk about the sliding filament theory. You'll have time on Monday to work on the muscle project in class. Be thinking about a reasonable due date for this. Seniors: I need to get your project early enough to be able to grade it before you are done.
Next week, we'll go over those muscle twitch questions and then have more project work time I think. The muscle test will be the week we get back. I am thinking of you taking the multiple choice part of the test in class on the 29th and then doing the essay(s) as a take-home exam. I think that is good practice for college!
As always, come to AFT if you need help. Have included a link below to an article I found on the evolution of light skin in Europeans that I found interesting. Thanks, Ms. L
Also here's a link to an article on synaptic vesicle recycling, courtesy of Cayman. I will say this is very dense! It may not make any sense to you, in which case, ignore it!!! This material is NOT going to appear on the test, just think it is interesting: synaptic vesicle recycling

DUE DATES:
• Muscle project -- TBD
• Muscle test -- in-class, multiple choice probably 29 April

week of 31 March
Hi all,
Short post this week. I'm really having trouble with migraines lately so it's slowing down my grading process. Sorry about that...I really can't control it though!
Anyway, here's the week in a quick nutshell. Monday we talked about the neuromuscular junction anatomy and reviewed the anatomy of the myofibril. Wednesday is a work period for the muscle project. Please note that I have completed the rubric for this project. Notice that I have added a requirement that you write review questions as part of your handout. Thursday/Friday is more notes.
As always please come to see me during AFT if you need help. Ms. L
DUE DATES:
• Muscle twitch questions - Weds 1 April
• we need to decide on a due date for the muscle project! I have written 29 April. Am open to other suggestions...please remind me to talk about this OK?
FYI - the sea slug (Elysia chlorotica) I mentioned in class today is a gastropod not an echinoderm.
