chemical digestion glands and enzymes

We started with a recap of yesterday's material and then dug deeper. We compared the graphs of the natural log function to the common (base 10) og function. We ended up by estimating both natural and common logarithm values and checking our estimates with the calculator.

Finish content. Review chapter 39-41. Quick overview of the 80's, 90's, & 2000's.

Continue chapter 38 and begin 39. Discuss end of the 60's and the Vietnam War, focus on Nixon administration and his achievements, the beginning of the 1970's, the energy crisis.

1) Jessica and I read and discuss the passages/questions that Jessica had the most difficulty with, and strategize for the future exam.

Complete and review the anatomy of the stomach and discuss the functions of the gastric fluid
anatomy and a little physiology of the small and large intestine, as well as the vestigial organ, the appendix.

We finished of a problem requiring the use of Simpson's Rule to estimate an area under a curve. Then we discussed Natural (Naperian) logs and logs to the base 10 briefly. We graphed the natural logarithmic function on the calculator.

1) Jessica takes a timed practice exam based on Multiple Choice Questions from the AP Exam

We selected a definite integral problem on which we had worked before, using the estimate from the graphing calculator, the Trapezoidal Rule and direct integration with a formula and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and estimated the value using Simpson's Rule. Then we repeated the process with another problem. The Simpson's Rule solutions trended to be more accurate than the Trapezoidal Rule estimates.

Review and discuss chapter 38. Focus on the key events and legacies of Keneedy's administration, Johnson and his Great Society, the Civil Rights Movement.
