Notes: Immune System & Viral Specificity

Virus Model Project - due October 31st.  You will get one full class of research & construction time on Wednesday.

Monday - Lytic vs Lysogenic Cycles

Notes: Virus Reproduction

Virus Replication Worksheet (handed out in class) - due Thursday

See you Thursday!

Thurs - Are viruses living?

Notes: Characteristics of life & Virus Structure & Shape
     Student notes template

On Monday we are going to start planning our Virus Model Project (see instructions and list of viruses here).  SARS, Small Pox & Polio are already taken.  Please email me if you decide over the weekend which virus you would like to research as students can't do the same virus.

Notes: natural selection Contd

Please review through extinction and endangered species in the notes above as we haven't yet discussed these directly in class. Might be a good idea to set aside 15 minutes each night to begin reviewing through unit 1 content in preparation for the test next Wednesday, Oct 12th (not this week). Check the tabs above (ie review and quizlet) for review options.
