The Week of 12/2-12/6

I hope you are enjoying your week off!  Remember to read the lab hand-out for the "Measuring Metabolic Rate" lab before you come in on Monday.  I also recommend reviewing Chapter 9 and to start reading Chapter 10.

• Mon 12/2:  Practice the protocol for data-taking for the "Measuring Metabolic Rate" lab.  Take preliminary data.  Get ready for the lab tomorrow.
• Tues 12/3:  Take data for the Measuring Metabolic Rate Lab and enter your data in the class data-base.  Come up with a research question, background, variables, etc.  Your completed rough draft should be done by next Tuesday, 12/10.
• Thurs 12/5:  More on lab and processing the data.  Start photosynthesis.  Photosynthesis worksheet using the class textbooks.  Read 10.1 and 10.2.

What's on the Quiz on Thursday, 11/21/13

-Know 3 ways that things can be oxidized (and reduced:  always the opposite)

-K›now first 3 parts of cell respiration

-›Should know inputs and outputs

›-Should know energy yield (in the form of carriers) for each part

-›Should know the number of carbons in each part

›-Basic stages of glycolysis

The Week of 11/18-11-22

SPARK Lecture on cell membranes on Monday!  Cell Respiration Quiz on Thurs 11/21.

• Mon 11/18:  More on Cell Respiration.  Link reaction.  Krebs Cycle.  Keep reading Chapter 9.
• Tues 11/19:  Krebs Cycle and Electron Chain Reaction.  Anaerobic respiration.  More on Chapter 9.
• Thurs 11/21:  Short Quiz (4 stages of Cell Respiration, locations, inputs, outputs, energy carriers).  Review Electron Chain Reaction.   Introduce Cell Respiration Lab.  Finish reading Chapter 9. 

Enjoy your week off!  Finish reading Chapter 9 and start reading Chapter 10 if you have time.  Remember that you can also pick an extra credit book to read and get started on that!  See the book list in the documents section under "Extra Credit Opportunities".
