1. Use any resources you have to find information about BIOTECHNOLOGY. Write at least ten items down that you think may be useful in class tomorrow. You may search the Internet, look through books, etc., but be sure that your sources are reliable and trustworthy! ***NOTE: If you did not finish the Spanish Influenza Articles of the Ebola Outbreak Activity, those are NOT homework at this time. They will be completed in class next time.
2. Study for your Cells & Microbiology Unit Test, which will be on May 7th.
3. Go back over your notebook to begin preparing for the Science EOG on May 29th.
4/27 - 4/28
1. Watch the Pandemic vs Epidemic VIDEO and answer the questions below
a. What's the difference between a pandemic and an epidemic?
b. Why are epidemics and pandemics a relatively recent phenomenon in human history?
c. How do war zones and natural disaster sites become breeding grounds for infectious diseases?
d. What happens to the influenza virus every 20-40 years, and why? What are recent examples?
e. Can people do anything to reduce the spread of pandemics and epidemics?

1. Watch the video linked below and write at least 4 sentences explaining what you think about it. We will discuss it in class next time. Be sure you have read the instructions for what to do before watching the "Rewind the Future" video by clicking here.
4/17 - 4/20
1. Finish the Macromolecules Webquest from class.
2. Complete the reading and questions linked here.
4/15 - 4/16
1. Watch the Macromolecules Notes Video and complete the Macromolecules Chart. (I did not print copies, but you may print your own if you wish by clicking the link. You can also see what it should look like at the link.)
*If you have trouble completing the chart with the video, there is information in the science textbook on pages
E42-43, and you may come in the morning or at lunch/HAC to use a textbook and complete the chart.
*Here is an additional video that may be helpful as well.
4/13 - 4/14
1. Complete the "Active Reading: Cells" worksheet. Be prepared to discuss cells in depth next class.
