Today students wrote the cell respiration and photosynthesis test. Absent students will write it tomorrow.

On Friday, we performed the Pigment Chromatography lab...we had so-so results.

On Thursday, we went through the Calvin Cycle of photosynthesis.

On Wednesday, we went through the light reactions of photosynthesis. There was no homework.

Today students completed a worksheet on anaerobic respiration. We then began looking at photosynthesis. First we viewed a "gizmo" on cell respiration and photosynthesis. We then went through Photosynthesis Note 1. There is one textbook question and a table to do for homework.

On Monday, we reviewed anaerobic respiration. Students then used the rest of the class to work in their learning teams to discuss textbook questions and worksheets related to anaerobic and aerobic cellular respiration.

Today students met in their learning teams and discussed the textbook questions related to aerobic cellular respiration. They then used the rest of class to work on a series of worksheets on cell respiration or on their "maps". The worksheets are due to be finished for the Monday back after the break, as well as the textbook questions related to anaerobic respiration (fermentation). Your cell respiration map will be due on the Friday at the end of the week back from the break.
Have a wonderful, safe and restful holiday!
