11/22/13

1. Review the light reaction
2. Light Dependent Reaction Skit

H.W. Complete side 4 of your C.R. and P. brochure.  Use these new instructions for side 4: (due 12/2)
Side 4: Photosynthesis Lab Page: .
1. Title: How is Carbon Cycled?
2. Background information: From your lab worksheet in the box at the top - All life on earth is solar powered: Include this statement along with your drawing of the Carbon cycle we did for warm up. Try to do one like (not exactly the same as) the one we looked at in class with the cow, the tree and the factories. Include an autotroph, a heterotroph, the energy source driving the cycle and any non – living things that may alter the balance of the carbon cycle.
3. Procedure: Illustrate the procedure by drawing four test tubes along with their contents and their exposure to light or not. Include a quick blurb about how phenol red is used to indicate carbon dioxide levels.
4. Data: You may illustrate the results as we did in class with drawings of the tubes, presence or absence of light and the final color of phenol red after 24 hours OR you may include a data table that provides the same information (in written text); like the one you already designed.
5. Conclusion: As discussed in class, explain why the phenol red changed the color it did after 24 hours for each test tube. Explain in terms of the action of respiration and photosynthesis.
6. Lastly: We answered the question in the title of this lab, "how is carbon cycled?" by saying that the driving forces behind the carbon cycle are 1) energy from the sun and 2) the interaction between autotrophs and heterotrophs. Support this answer by using EVIDENCE from your lab.

The entire brochure (all sides) will be due on 12/4

11/19/13

1. W.U. All life is solar powered
2. Lab: How is Carbon Cycled?

H.W. Complete the Hypothesis and Design your data table for the lab results tomorrow:
Hypothesis:
In the "If... then..." column of the Hypothesis table on your worksheet:

For the "IF" part of your hypothesis: Draw and/or label with text the contents of each tube (For example: anacharis (elodea) + phenol red + light, anacharis (elodea) + phenol red + light + yeast or human C02, anacharis (elodea)+ phenol red + dark, anacharis (elodea) + phenol red + yeast or human C02 + dark).

For the "THEN" part of your hypothesis: shade over each test tube with the predicted color the solution will turn based on the presence or absence of C02. Red = low C02, Orange = medium C02, Yellow = a lot of C02.

In the "because" column of the Hypothesis table on your worksheet:

Explain in written text why you predicted the color you did. Consider what an autotroph needs to cycle carbon (we manipulated the variables of either having a heterotroph present or not and having light or not).

Data Table:
Include a title, a column for all four test tubes and their contents (written), a coloumn for the initial color of phenol RED, and a column for the final color of phenol red solution (you will record this tomorrow in class)

11/18/13

1.  W.U. Untamed Science: Take a deep breath and solve the chapter mystery (on page 269)
2. Ch. 9 Quiz

H.W. Print (only) these Photosynthesis Notes
And
Photosynthesis Preview Reading Assignment #1: Please read all directions below before you begin the assignment

Read p. 232-233: Create a two column compare/contrast table that shows the similarities and differences between the light-dependent and light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.

Now Read page 235; paragraph at a time. You are only required to complete the close reading and questions for page 235 (paragraph 1, 2, and 3 only). After you read each paragraph, stop and answer the questions highlighted in the yellow boxes you see to the right of each paragraph in the following attachment: drive.google.com/file/d/0BzyGDGbCD2v0bkhuVHBaUzRra1E/edit(label each set of answers with their corresponding paragraph, "paragraph 1"....etc.) The goal is to be able to answer each question AFTER you read without looking back at the textbook.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMPLETE THE REST OF THE QUESTIONS TONIGHT...YET!!

Packet requirements and a few other odds and ends….

  1. You must either print the table of contents or copy down the table of contents on a separate sheet of paper.  The table of contents will be the first page of your packet.
  2. Place the packet in the same order and is listed on the table of contents. 
  3. If you are turning in an assignment LATE, then write LATE on the top right hand corner of the assignment. 
  4. If there is an assignment that you have that is not listed on the table of content, then DO NOT place it in the packet.
