Final Unit!

Up next, ecology.  Chapter 34 will be posted this afternoon is posted in the Mader folder, read sections 34.1 and 34.2.  On Friday morning we will be going outside (in the courtyard).

REMINDER: I'm making my way through your Planaria lab drafts and giving feedback.  Many of you have not turned in a draft yet!  If you see NTI under the draft column, that means I don't see a draft in your folder.  Saturday morning (5/30) at 8am is the drop-dead due date for your drafts.  If you have not turned in a draft by then, you will not get the 10 practice points for the draft, and you won't get any feedback on your draft.  Any labs turned in after that date will just be graded as the final version.

Final versions of the lab will be due on the last day of class, June 15th.

New test dates

The Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration test has been pushed back a day: Wednesday for Squids, Thursday for Jellies.  We'll start Ecology on Friday.

Photosynthesis/Cellular Respiration Test Tuesday

Resources to study:

Powerpoints
Cellular Respiration Questions 1 and 2
Photosynthesis Questions
Mader Ch 7 and 8
Topics list (in unit 5 folder)
Bozeman Science- he has several videos, here are a few: Photosynthesis, Cellular Respiration

You many bring in a 3x5 notecard with notes on ONE side.

Photosynthesis, cont.

Continue reading Mader Ch 8, and do Photosynthesis questions in the Unit 5 folder.  Next class we will finish talking about Photosynthesis (only a little left), then review for the quiz on Tuesday covering Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis.

Weekend HW

Cellular Respiration Qs Part 2, in the Unit 5 folder.

Cellular Respiration resources

Links to the animations are below.  Click on each step and follow the reactants and products for each step.

Glycolysis

Transition Step and Krebs Cycle

Electron Transport Chain

Video of ATP Synthase

New Unit- Unit 5!

Day One of Cellular Respiration.  Read over first part of Ch 7, summarizing glycolysis and the transition step.

Reminder that Planaria lab draft is due Friday.

Planaria Lab Draft Due Friday May 15th

Rubric in the Unit 4 folder.

Monday work

In-class/Take-home writing assignment is posted in the Unit 4 folder, called "Cell Communication Prompt."  This should be completed and turned in to your folder by the end of this week.

On Tuesday/Wednesday we will begin the planaria lab.  Your task will be to design a lab to test the response system of planaria.  You should begin researching a bit about the planaria and their sensory organs to prepare for this lab.
