1. How is carbon cycled lab results
2. Start 2nd close reading assignment

H.W. Finish close reading assignment: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzyGDGbCD2v0bkhuVHBaUzRra1E/edit?usp=sharing
And if you haven't already done so:  Print (only) these Photosynthesis Notes

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)

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!!

And
put together your Ch. 9 Unit Packet:

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.
