does very well with identifying the correct information in worded questions with simple interest the principle amount, difference between interest and interest rate, and knowing the time associated with the question. After a review of logarithms and exponentials was able to complete them very well, would need to continue to practice these questions to not lose the knowledge of how to work them out as these will be frequently used questions in the years to come. did well with transforming logarithms to exponentials to then work out unknowns. She did well with the transformation however struggled with the next steps of rearranging the equation to find the unknowns which is an algebra skill we will be working on.

needs to work on her algebra skills, rearranging equations and finding the unknown value. When questions involve 2x=3 she was unaware of how to remove the 2 away from the x in the beginning but by the end of the session was understanding it better, I would like to continue working on her algebra skills until she can do them confidently. transforming logarithms into exponentials would need to be continuously worked on she did do better after a few examples and practice questions but more practice would be better to become more confident in these questions in the future.

Understands the flow of populations very well. How birth and death rates affect the population. understands how diseases, natural disasters affect the growth and size of a population as well as the effects these have on the gene pool. DNA adaptations and mutations he is doing very well in. Has good understanding on how the change in environment affects species in a generational setting and mutations will be generated to fit the species for the species survival.

Needs to work on the identifying of chromosomal and DNA mutations, substitutions, deletions, translocation, flipping etc and how it correlates to a change in the amino acids. Also how the change in amino acid then changes the structure and function of proteins, he is doing well in this area but needs a little more practice to not get certain ones mixed up.

Long Answers are clear and concise. Was able to break down hard questions to identify the most correct answer for multiple choice questions.

Needs to work on pedigree identification, using punnet squares to help his identification process. Needs to work on practicing punnet squares with allele crossing to identify the inheritance of phenotypes, why the offspring produce certain phenotypes based on parents phenotypes which then will lead to identifying the genotype of parents and probability in the offspring. with long answers his ability to create sentences, clear and concise is very good however needs to make sure all points are recorded in the answer, if there's 2 marks there needs to be 2 points in the answer relevant to the question being asked. eg. What can cause natural selection for a species? - Change in temperature - Change in available resources - Natural Disaster - Predators eradicating a certain variation of a species reducing the gene pool available to be passed onto the next generation.

understood the mutations as covered last week the changes that occur as negative and positive mutations. has a good understanding on what happens when populations are isolated decreasing the gene pool available and the variation of genes available for the population. Understands the process, cause and effect of natural selection. has a good understanding of how a sudden natural disaster can reduce populations and cause a decrease in variability in the offspring of species affected. has good understanding of structural and chemical adaptations, as long as he knows good examples and how the adaptations have benefitted the species for its survival, he will be fine with this topic.

needs to practice more on his memory and remembering most descriptions in relation to mutations. he understands everything however remembering the actual name of it he struggles a little bit. such as genetic drift and gene pool. needs to go over how behavioural isolation and temporal isolation (hot temperature and cold temperature) has affected many different species, how the changes in temperature across the day also have an effect on the species that live in different environments. have some examples of negative adaptations that occurred due to geographic isolation.
