4/5		Inheritance Patterns, Pages 379-385, P/P 1-8, S&T, 1-4	Turn in notebook
6	9-12 APPE Perfect solutions do not exist. All technological solutions involve trade-offs in which decisions to include more of one quality means less of another. All solutions involve consequences, some intended, others not.

Nov. 25	9-11 LS1I Egg and sperm cells are formed by a process called meiosis in which each resulting cell contains only one representative chromosome from each pair found in the original cell. Recombination of genetic information during meiosis scrambles the genetic information, allowing for new genetic combinations and characteristics in the offspring. Fertilization restores the original number of chromosome pairs and reshuffles the genetic information, allowing for variation among offspring	Page 363 Stop and Think Part 1 1-2,	Any unfinished classwork	Describe and model the process of meiosis in which egg and sperm cells are formed with only one set of chromosomes from each parent. Model and explain the process of genetic recombination that may occur during meiosis and how this then results in differing characteristics in offspring. Describe the process of fertilization that restores the original chromosome number while reshuffling the genetic information, allowing for variation among offspring

11/4	9-12 APPA Science affects society and cultures by influencing the way many people think about themselves, others, and the environment. Society also affects science by its prevailing views about what is important to study and by deciding what research will be funded.	Apple Pie Formative Assessment Chapter 7 Engage Pgs. 334-335p/p 1-2	Engage pgs. 335-336 R/C 1-5	List questions that scientists investigate that are stimulated by the needs of society (e.g., medical research, global climate change).
