Dec 1st

We are starting our study of Photosynthesis this week with chapter 8 in our text book and further exploration during several laboratory experiments.

Since you have already read up through page 207 in your text and should have an essay prepared that discusses the relationship between heterotrophs and autotrophs we will proceed directly into the reactions of photosynthesis.

Homework: Due; Friday Dec. 5th
Read pages 208-215 taking SQ3R notes on those pages.
Answer questions on page 214 1-5.
Going further---for those who dare
Answer the question How would you design an experiment that could examine one of the factors that effect the rate of photosynthesis?
think independent and dependent variables, any background information you may have, the time this would take and what would your procedure be?
Type this and have it ready by friday to turn in for a grade.

Thanksgiving Homework

As you know we are beginning our study of photosynthesis.Part of this study includes knowing the difference between a food producer and a food consumer. Food producers are referred to as autotrophs and consumers are heterotrophs.

I would like you to scour the internet and use your text book to help you to craft a paper on the relationship between producers and consumers. This can be a straightforward essay on this relationship or it can be a summary of an article that you found while surfing, reading the paper or looking at a magazine.

I need to see an introductory paragraph which needs to include your main topic and what you are going to say. Then the next paragraph or two should be the body of your essay - telling everything. The final part of your essay needs to be a conclusion, telling me what you just tried to say. All of this needs to be

This week we will finish up chapter 7 and begin a discussion of Photosynthesis and Respiration - Chapter 8. Monday will conclude our three day lab that looked at osmosis through a semi-permeable membrane. We will take finial observations on Monday-Tuesday and the Formal Lab Write up is due Wednesday of this week.

Cells

This week we will be showing how bacteria grow and reproduce. We have been discussing eukaryotes (organisms with a defined nucleus. This week we be focusing our attention on organisms that are called prokaryotes (unicellular organisms that lack a nucleus).
To go along with this please read and take SQ3R notes on pages 470-477.
