12/4/13

1. W.U. Cellular respiration and photosynthesis summary
2. Review

H.W. H.W. DUE Tomorrow!
Finish your Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Informational Pamphlet/Brochure  (the instructions for sides 1,2,3 and 5 are correct but NOT for side 6 or for side 4)
AND  Ch. 8/9 Study Guide 

EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY: DUE THURSDAY!  NO EXCEPTIONS:
Choose ONE of the video links below.  Watch the video and create at least 15 review questions from topics THROUGHOUT the video (the questions cannot be just at the beginning and middle, but must include questions related to the topics at the end of the video).  Write down these questions on one piece of paper (you may type this if you'd like) and be sure to wrtie down the answers on a separate sheet of paper.  Then, have a parent or sibling watch the video and answer the questions as they go.  They need to write down the questions and sign and date the paper. You must also grade their answers.

12/2/13

1. W.U. Once upon a time in the light reaction...
2. Light Reaction Review and Light Independent Reaction Intro

H.W. I think we need a little more practice on the light reaction before we dive into the Calvin Cycle.  So before you start the Calvin Cycle close read assignment (below), do this web tutorial first:

First:  Web Tutorial on the Light Reactions of Photosynthesis. Click on the link below and follow the directions you see.

Second:  Now do this: Calvin Cycle Close Read Assignment

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

11/21/13

1. How is carbon cycled (wrap up and conclusions)
2. Photosynthesis

H.W. Complete your photosynthesis notes with this power point 
Download the ppt to see it the way it should be intended. 

Side 4 of your brochure is due on 12/2.  Check back for updated instructions for that side.
