1.) Determine the genotypes of the parent organisms 2.) Write down your "cross" (mating) 3.) Draw a p-square 4.) "Split" the letters of the genotypes for each parent and put them "outside" the p-square 5.) Determine the possible genotypes of the offspring by filling in the p-square 6.) Summarize results )genotypes and phenotypes of offspring) 7.) Back in the glow of your accomplishment

__**March 15, 2012 Notes**__ I want you to summarize your notes from today. Be sure to list a GLOW & a GROW from today's lesson.

__**March 20, 2012 Notes**__ Use the map below to find your surname. List where you find your name including your current location with four other places in the United States. Tell me the population size of your surname in each location. Surname Map Well My last name is MOORE! The name comes from Washington State (pop 6,803,038)., New Hampshire (pop1,318,194). , New York (pop. 19,465,197), and even West Virgina (pop 1,855,364). Next, predict why you think your last name is in each of these locations. What do you think are some of the reasons for the changes of distributions over time? What historic events might have affected the distribution? How does migration patterns have anything to do with genetics? I think that some of these people that have the last name as me is cool. They might have came overseas and even migrated from one part of the country to the other part of the country. I don't think that it has a pattern how we Moores' move but just that we all are living in American and other parts of the world. __**March 22, 2012 Notes**__

**Ellis Island ** The Ellis Island was used for a way for immigrants to find an ‘American Dream’. The Ellis Island is used for people that want to come to America and live the ‘American Dream’ and they won’t have to worry about things. Today the Ellis Island is in New York on the Island where our Statue of Liberty is standing at this moment. When the Immigrants were coming over they found out that when they saw the Statue of Liberty, then they knew that all of their past would never come back because they were now in America, the Land of Dreams. During the 1900s is when most of the immigrants came over to Ellis Island and began to live the ‘American Dream’. I believe that some of my ancestors might have come to Ellis Island maybe not when it was called Ellis Island but when they were coming over from Germany and France. I think that it is a BIG possibility that some of my family members might have come through Ellis Island one point in time. Most people that came over from the other places was because of lack of freedom. Some people were tried of the governments telling them what they had to do. So in lack of freedom people started to come to America so they could not be controlled by the government and they could live free. Another even was war. War was a huge thing overseas. People did not want to become involved in wars and they didn't want to die either. So, they moved to America to live out the dream and not have to worry about Wars. Also there were many Natural Disaster. Many people had home that were not structured wrong so when a earthquake (example) happened they would either be homeless and die laying under the rubble dead. For all of the reasons they came to America to live out the dream and not have to worry about anything except their families and work.

__**April 3, 2012 Notes**__ =**What I Did Over the Spring Break Holiday**= Over the spring break holiday I went camping, went and seen my aunt and grandmother, and stayed at home and watched movies. When I went camping we went to Grist Mill and when camping. We went fishing, swimming, and bike riding. I had so much fun. Then I went to see my grandmother and aunt. My grandmother and aunt and cousins were so glad to see all of us. Also we made them a garden so that they could have fresh produce in their back yards. Then we went home and set around and watched movies. That is what I did on my Spring Break Holiday.
