Thursday, January 9th, 2014 Today we reviewed the Light Reactions, Discussed the Pigment and Photosynthesis Labs, and Learned about the Calvin Cycle. Below are document we used:

Wednesday, January 8th, 2014 Happy New Year! With missing 2 days for the cold, we had to change our schedule. Please see the calendar for changes. Today we discussed ATP and also the Light Reactions. Below are the notes. Be sure to review all of this tonight since it is a complex topic. Also, be sure to read as well.



F 12/20 Today we did lots of things. We played the plant game. That was fun, but if you were absent, there is no make up assignment for it.

We also finished the Transpiration Lab Data Collection. We calculated the grams of water loss per surface area. DUE ON TUESDAY: Create a graph that shows the average amount of water lost per leaf surface area by environmental condition (graph Table 2).

Construct a graph of the **average** (mean) percent change in mass for the four environmental conditions over time using the class data from the Google spreadsheet.

Fill out standard deviation chart. See lab for more instructions on all of these.

Here is graph paper: 

For the chromatography lab, the analysis will be due with the photosythesis lab analysis.

Also, don't forget about the 1 question you have to write for the final exam review. The link is on the the course wiki.

In addition, due Thursday, is this handout:

W 12/18- Today we finished up the Leaf, Stem and Root Lab. Then we watched the plant structure video. Here is the worksheet for it and the video can be found on mediacast. http://mediacast.d125.org/inventivex/mediaresources/checkout_x.cfm?contentid=34849&transactionid=154907

Worksheet: If you were absent, please watch the video and complete the questions.

For homework, do the prelab for PART 1 of the lab ONLY. If you need help visualizing the lab, use this link to a virtual chromatography lab:[|Virtual Chromatography]

There will be NO prelab quiz. Also finish the Root, Stem and Leaf lab questions for tomorrow.

Remember that your JAE is due on Friday.
