Unit+3-Cells+and+Cellular+Transport

Tuesday, November 5, 2013 Today we worked on the following review activity. We then went over the concept maps that groups made. Test Thursday. USE YOUR TARGETS. Use the wiki and your text book. JAE due on Friday.

Monday, November 4, 2013 Today we worked on these two transport tutorials. They are in the same file. One is on Passive Transport and one is on Active Transport. If you were absent, please complete these. We then finished going through the powerpoint notes. Homework is to prep for Thursday's test and work on the JAE.

Today groups worked on writing up Part B of the osmosis lab using a Google Doc. Absent students should write up their own. Omit question 4. Progress Points for the Biochem test are due tonight at midnight.

Thursday, October 31, 2013 Today we did part B of the Osmosis lab. During the down time, we worked on part A. Part A is due tomorrow.

Wednesday, October 30, 2013 Today we completed part A of the Diffusion/Osmosis Lab. During the downtime in the lab, groups planned for part B of the lab. Homework is to work on Part A analysis (due Friday), Progress Points (due Friday), Target practice (not due), and make a data table for part A.

Tuesday, October 29, 2013 Today we completed the transport lecture through the information on Active Transport. Then we worked on several problems involving osmosis.

Homework is to complete the prelab for the Diffusion Osmosis Lab.

Also, remember the JAE is due on 11/8 and there is a Bonus assignment in the COB due the last day of the term.

Monday, October 28, 2013 Today we learned about the Plasma membrane and passive transport. See the calendar for the reading assignment. Here is the powerpoint:

Monday, October 21, 2013 Today we played a game about early earth. Here is the quizlet that the cards for the game came from: http://quizlet.com/14986536/early-earth-and-origin-of-life-flash-cards/

We then worked on the microscope lab. On the AP BIO WIKI there are several videos and quizzes to help you with the microscope lab. Scroll to the bottom of the page.

Remember that the SA to V lab is due tomorrow. Please change Phenopthalein in the lab to Bromthymol blue.

Friday, October 18, 2013 Today we did the Surface Area to Volume Ratio Lab. It was a fun day. Data is below for each class. 3-4a 4b-5 6b-7

For homework, make the graphs as described in the lab and work on the analysis. Answer the questions in full sentences on separate paper. This is due TUESDAY.

The Microscope pre-lab is due MONDAY. It is on pages 7-8 of the microscope lab.

We also got the target packet below, but you don't need to print it out. Just ask for a copy on Monday.

Thursday, October 17, 2013 Today we continued the discussion about the Early Earth. We then completed the sorting puzzle for early earth. Here are clips to help you: Crash Course Biology History of Earth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjE-Pkjp3u4 Ted Talk History of Earth http://www.ted.com/talks/david_christian_big_history.html

After we discussed early earth, you completed "Cells Alive" an on-line introduction to cell types and parts.

Homework: Read the Surface Area to volume Lab and do the prelab. Both documents are in the attachment below: If you missed class, please complete "Cells Alive" below:

Wednesday, October 16, 2013 Today we discussed the Early Earth. First we met with groups to discuss one of four topics : Miller Urey, RNA world, Protobionts, or Endosymbiosis. Then students went back to their own group to explain their topic to everyone else. After all topics were discussed, a sorting activity to put the events and descriptions of events/pictures in order was done. We will continue that sorting activity tomorrow. Here are the handouts for today:

See the AP Biology Calendar for the homework for tonight. This is an optional activity if you want more practice with early earth information:
