Wed., Mar 30th
Welcome back! Hope you all have had a great break. After we answered Carmen's phone call from 2 other students who were supposed to be in class, we completed today's check-in to remind us what enzymes were all about and then worked on a lab in an attempt to give an analogy to how enzymes function and what affects their reaction rates. Lab questions are to be handed in tomorrow (there will be class time to work on them if needed).

Hi all
Today was day 2 of the lab. Thank you for doing such a great job with clean-up.
Task List:
1. Vodcast (WSQ) Active Transport
--> e-assignment is built in
2. Formal lab write-up is due on Thursday. We will talk about what is expected tomorrow. It is worth 5% of your mark!
Please WATCH the Vodcast tonight if you did not do so in class.

Hi all
Today we looked at tonicity (isotonic, hyptertonic, and hypotonic) and facilitated transport.
We also started Day 1 of the Potato Lab.
Tomorrow will be Day 2.
If you were absent today:
You will be doing the lab a day late. This means, while everyone is doing day two of the lab tomorrow, you will be working on day one. Day two will be completed at lunch on Wednesday. Please come prepared with your pre-lab.
Thanks,
Ms H

Good evening, everyone.
I am happy to say that I had the tests marked by the end of block 5 today :). You will know your marks tomorrow.
With Unit 2 wrapping up on Tuesday after the test, we are now going to take a closer look at the basic unit of life; cells.
When I was at UVic, my professor showed our first year Biology class this video and it sparked my interest in cell biology. As I watched the video I barely knew what was going on but the I was captivated by how much goes on in our cells.
As years went by I would come back and revisit this video and the more I watched it, the more I started to see what was really going on because we were learning about everything in my cell bio courses (my personal favorite are the kinesins!)
Below is a link to one of the original creators of this amazing clip, David Bolinsky's, TED talk he gave after he released this video through Harvard.
