You are starting your high school biology class and we need to talk about what Biology means to you and why its important for you to have this class. Biology is a life science class so we will be talking about living things and the different ways they survive, grow and develop,and evolve plus some other things

The first thing we are going to learn about is what does it mean to be alive? What are things that all living things have in common? include component="comments" page="What makes something alive?" limit="60" Watch this short video and tell me what characteristic of life this organism is showing you (#2) media type="youtube" key="d26AhcKeEbE?fs=1" height="385" width="480"

include component="comments" page="What is biology?" limit="60" Watch this video on Evolution and in your own words define evolution (#3). Pay close attention to animal and the years as they pass media type="youtube" key="yVqJ_mQazik?fs=1" height="385" width="480" include component="comments" page="What is biology?" limit="60"

Watch the videos on reproduction in African Elephants and bacteria. There are two types of reproduction. **SEXUAL and ASEXUAL**. One of them requires (needs) a partner and one doesn't. After you have watched both videos,answer the question in the discussion box that I have posted (#4). Video #1 media type="youtube" key="ODy3CiS7H4o?fs=1" height="385" width="640"

Video #2 media type="youtube" key="J6akNYlkehY?fs=1" height="385" width="480" Answer this question and post your response in discussion tab (#5): ** BETWEEN THE TWO TYPES OF REPRODUCTION, WHICH ONE MAKES BABIES THAT LOOK LIKE MOM AND DAD AND WHICH ONE WOULD MAKE CLONES (EXACT COPIES OF ITSELF) ** include component="comments" page="What is biology?" limit="60" Animals also need to adjust to their environment. Watch the video on the Mugger crocodile, and think about why it would use this. Maintaining a comfortable body temperature and getting the food you need to survive helps you maintain ** HOMEOSTASIS ** media type="youtube" key="mnQKnMZbQnk?fs=1" height="385" width="640"

Tell me why **ESTIVATION** would help this animal survive during periods of extreme drought. Include in your answer what its body does and what it lives of off. (estivation) include component="comments" page="What is biology?" limit="60"

use the links belowand tell me the difference between a PRO karyote and an EU karyote. Also tell me the difference between a UNI cellular and Multicellular cell types: prokaryote and eukaryote

defining unicellular and multicellular

post your answers to the google docfound here[|Answer sheet]

OK now that you have gone through the activities its time to show me what you know: media type="custom" key="8201760"
