  5. Hi Mr.Forde,
    I was just wondering if you accepted notes that had a few main ideas but had a lot of information for it for my members and thanks for the sites they're very resourceful.

  7. Hi Mr. Forde,
    I just had a quick question that I forgot to ask you after school, but I was wondering if our little speech can go a bit over 2 min. not much just a little.

  17. I am glad that you are relieved by getting your debate over with. i also think that the class learned a lot about GM foods.

    The 3rd quarter unit test is Thursday during enrichment time. It is on everthing that we did from the cell unit until today. All genetics topics could ewind up on the test. Start by reviewing your notes and becoming very familiar with the definitions. Then practice your punnett squares and review your "Sponge Bob Genetics" sheet.

    We'll talk more about it on Tuesday and Wednesday in class. I will also be after school on Monday and Tuesday for anyone who wants to review!

    All the best!

    Mr. Forde :-)
