Throughout the year we will be studying life science using a variety of activities such as, but not limited to, labs, projects and activities, diagrams, models, Cornell notes, videos, study skills, thinking maps, etc. We will be following the California State Standards for Life Science. Topics include, but are not limited to, The Metric System, Characteristics of Living Things, Plant and Animal Cells, Cell Division, Heredity/Genetics, Darwin's Theory and Evolution/Geologic Time, and Plant Reproduction.

With cold/flu and allergy season upon us,I have so appreciated all the Kleenex donations as well as the school supplies from the cards on my door at back to school night! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! I am now good for Kleenex but am on my last container of Anti Bacterial Wipes for the students to clean their desks and counters with. I will give 3 gold cards for one container of wipes up to 2 Containers/6 Gold Cards per student. Lysol or Clorox are well known brands but the store brands are good too. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP (-: !!

Pre District Photosyn. Test Article to Annotate

Complete the three graphs. Add color to the points on the line graphs use pencil or black pen for the line connecting the points. Color in the bars on the bar graph with the same color highlighters as light source in lab, using yellow for the white light bar. Don't forget to do Questions 7-12 on the photosynthesis section of the HW handout. BE SURE YOU ANNOTATE AND HIGHLIGHT THE TWO INFORMATION PARAGRAPHS !

Examples of simulation lab data

Bring your COMPLETED CO2 and Light Energy CER paragraphs Tomorrow!

Be sure to complete the 2 CER paragraphs from our 3 BTB & Elodea Plant test tube lab so you can use them tomorrow ALONG with your completed Q's 1-6 about chloroplasts, AND YOUR COMPLETED 3 DATA TABLES FROM TODAYS OXYGEN PRODUCTION SIMULATION. You will be using all of these to help you with the activity we are starting in class tomorrow :D!!

See you all tomorrow :) !!

THE BIG PHOTOSYNTHESIS LABELED DIAGRAM

Monday 1/29 Simulation worksheet

Link to the Factors that change the rate of O2 Production simulation

Photosynthesis Worksheet for HW 1/29-1/31

Here is another version of the evidence and reasoning from the Photosynthesis lab you can be helpful when writing your 2 CER's . Remember Carbon dioxide and Light Energy are the 2 Reactants to choose, and support in your two paragraphs using LAB EVIDENCE ! Water is important too ! But the lab did NOT test for how plants utilize H2O, nor did it have an indicator or SOMETHING TO SHOW (prove) water is being used by the plants and photosynthesis is occurring!! No Evidence for Water!

CER's are due on Monday!!! Please have them ready for stamping!!!

THANKS! Everyone have a great weekend😃,!!
