iPad assignment (UPDATE: 10.19 (UPDATE 2 10.20))

This is your first iPad assignment of the year!

First, download and read these two files for the lab on Thursday.
Lab 10A - Blood Pressure
Lab 10B - Heart Rate

Then, go to this website and request access to the site. This is the class Wiki, and will be the place to go for course materials to download.

UPDATE: Please also email me from your iPad at my school address with the subject line "AP Bio." There does not need to be anything in the body of the email, this is just so that I will have your school address in my contacts list.

UPDATE 2: Comment from Esther: I can't seem to send an email from my ipad for some reason. This is a known problem, and the tech department is working on. For now, the web server (link) is working, so you can send your email through that.

Chapter 36 Packet Answers

Here are the answers for the Chapter 36 review packet. Sorry if it is hard to read, I am trying out my iPad camera as a document scanner. Let me know in the comments if there are any answers you are unsure of.

Kidney animations

Ok, here is an attempt to get the kidney animations on here. Looks like the Flash player didn't embed correctly, at least on my MacBook. But you can still download the files and view them.

Slime molds and evolution

Interesting story by Carl Zimmer in the New York Times about slime molds. They really are fascinating organisms, and can tell us a lot about evolution. And I love the practical uses people are finding for them, like designing highways, or planning how to reroute highways in case of a nuclear meltdown.
