•         Review for Chapter 6-10 Test

•         Check off Photosynthesis  and Cellular Respiration Labs

MU: Study for Chapter 6-10 Test Multiple Choice and get Photosynthesis Lab checked off.

• November 21^st, 2011

•     Chapter 6-10 Test Multiple Choice

HW: Study for 2 Chapter 6-10 Test Free Response Questions one from  cell structure questions (2011 Form A #1, 2007 Form A #1, 2006 Form A #1, 2006 Form B #2, 2005 Form B#4, 2002 Form A #4 ) and one from ATP/cellular respiration/photosynthesis questions (2010 Form B #1, 2009 Form A #2 , 2004 Form A #3, 1999 #1, 1990 discussed in class) scoring guide for answers

MU: Come in after school to start Chapter 6-20 Test Multiple Choice

• November 22^nd, 2011

•     Finish Chapter 6-10 Test Multiple Choice and do 2 Free Response

•     Read an experiment from one of the Cell Magazines (a professional science journal) While reading you should try to determine and write down, the title, the purpose question, the hypothesis, the independent variable and dependent variables tested, how they were tested, two controlled variables, the controlled group and what was discovered using a relationship statement.  

HW: Have a great holiday and if you did not finish in class take home one of the Cell Magazines and while reading you should try to determine and write down, the title, the purpose question, the hypothesis, the independent variable and dependent variables tested, how they were tested, two controlled variables, the controlled group and what was discovered using a relationship statement.  

MU: Come in after school to finish Chapter 6-10 Multiple Choice and do 2 Free Response, have a great holiday and get one of the Cell Magazines from Berwick to read one of the experiments, and while reading you should try to determine and write down, the title, the purpose question, the hypothesis, the independent variable and dependent variables tested, how they were tested, two controlled variables, the controlled group and what was discovered using a relationship statement.  !

• November 28^th, 2011

•     Hand back Chapter 6-10 Exam

•     Discuss Cell Magazine Articles... how do you read professional scientific journals, how do you determine what is being said, what it means and the significance of the information...

•     Share what each person discovered/read from the magazine and article they selected... or read one in class...

•     Discuss whether we should do AP BIO Lab 9: Transpiration and/or AP BIO Lab 12: Dissolved Oxygen and Aquatic Primary Productivity or start Chapter 12 on Cell Cycles

HW: If you didn't read an article from Cell Magazine and write down important information (the title, the purpose question, the hypothesis, the independent variable and dependent variables tested, how they were tested, two controlled variables, the controlled group and what was discovered using a relationship statement), do so... Watch AP BIO Lab 9: Transpiration Video take Cornell notes and write an admit slip: one thing you learned while watching the video and one thing you still have a question about, this will be you pass into class for Tuesday

MU:  If you didn't read an article from Cell Magazine and write down important information (the title, the purpose question, the hypothesis, the independent variable and dependent variables tested, how they were tested, two controlled variables, the controlled group and what was discovered using a relationship statement), do so... Watch either AP BIO Lab 9: Transpiration Video take Cornell notes and write an admit slip: one thing you learned while watching the video and one thing you still have a question about, this will be you pass into class for Tuesday

• November 29^th, 2011

•     Collect admit slips and address questions

•      AP BIO Lab #9: Transpiration

•         After reading the introduction section of the lab, write a paragraph or draw a picture that defines transpiration, and explains 1) the role of transpiration in the transport of water within a plant, 2) how water moves from roots to leaves in terms of the physical and chemical properties of water and the forces provided by differences in water potential, and 3) the structures used by plants to transport water and regulate water movement. Support your discussion with evidence from the test. What implications can you draw?

•     Set up apparatus for your groups data collection.

•     Copy down Data Table 9.1 and sign up for condition your group is going to test.

•     Decide which method for calculating Leaf Surface Area your group is going to use. Get yourself familiar with the procedure by practice with a leaf from outside.

HW: Finish what ever you did not complete from the items above.

MU: Get lab book from Berwick and complete the activities above before starting AP BIO Lab #9: Transpiration

• November 30^th, 2011

•     Continue AP BIO Lab #9: Transpiration

•             set up the rest of your apparatus

•             collect data for your condition

•             look at monocot and dicot leaf stem cross-sections, make a drawing of these cross-sections and try to identify the different layers

•             do your calculations for leaf surface area and transpiration rate/m² 

HW: Finish your calculations for leaf surface area and transpiration rate/m² (Table 9.1 and Table 9.2 should be filled out and Table 9.3 drawn with your data in it)

MU: Get lab book from Berwick and come in after school to do AP BIO Lab #9: Transpiration
