Jan 13	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.	Gather data for plant growing experiment Finish Video, Reflection: 1.       Describe how science is influencing how people think about themselves 2.       Identify and describe 2 unintended consequences of DNA technology.   Introduction to DNA activity	None   Personal Responsibility: See handout or check for link on http://pthsscienceii.blogspot.com/	Describe ways that scientific ideas have influenced society or the development of differing cultures. List questions that scientists investigate that are stimulated by the needs of society (e.g., medical research, global climate change).
14		Engage: page 394-399, p/p 1-5	Any unfinished classwork
15/16	9-11 PS2D Ions are produced when atoms or molecules lose or gain electrons, thereby gaining a positive or negative electrical charge. Ions of opposite charge are attracted to each other, forming ionic bonds.	Learning to use gel boxes	Any unfinished classwork	Explain how ions and ionic bonds are formed (e.g., sodium atoms lose an electron and chlorine atoms gain an electron, then the charged ions are attracted to each other and form bonds).
17	9-11 LS1E The genetic information responsible for inherited characteristics is encoded in the DNA molecules in chromosomes. DNA is composed of four subunits (A,T,C,G).	Explain: What is this stuff, pages 399-402, p/p 1-7	Stop and Think part I, page 402	Describe how DNA molecules are long chains linking four subunits (smaller molecules) whose sequence encodes genetic information.
