Tuesday-Also continued from last week by playing Biology themed trouble.

Wednesday- Continued from Tuesday

Thursday- Today we were supposed to have a Test: Evolution and Taxonomy but it was delayed because we were behind. Instead we had lecture today.

Friday: Today we assessed, described and explained adaptations affecting survival and reproductive success, such as: Structural adaptations in plants and animals (form to function), disease-causing viruses and microorganisms, and co-evolution.

Main ideas today included:
  • Feeding adaptations.
  • Adaptations to ensure successful reproduction.
  • Adaptations to life on land.
  • Structure of viruses.
  • Mutation of viruses and other microorganisms.
  • Variety of disease causing (pathogenic) agents (viruses, bacteria) including: 
  • HIV
  • Influenza
  • Smallpox
  • Streptococcus (strep throat)
