Now Until Winter Break

Hello Students!  The cell respiration and photosynthesis unit is typically one of the most challenging units and we will be covering it between now and Winter Break.  I highly recommend that you get ahead of the material by reading through the sections: 2.8, 8.2, 2.9, and 8.3.  I also recommend watching videos such as the Crash Course ones I have posted and others like Khan Academy.  The repetition and hearing explanations from different perspectives can really help!  The more you let the material into your brain, the more likely your brain will be to accept it and not fight it.  Start now and revisit the material regularly!  Your brain and your stress level will thank you.  But also remember to get some exercise, listen to good music, eat healthy food, and get some sleep!

• Tuesday 12/3:  Review glycolysis and the link reaction and give more details on the Krebs Cycle.  Crash Course video on Cellular Respiration.  The electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.  Respirometers.  Read 8.2 really well!
• Thurs 12/5:  Seed Germination Respiration Lab.  Take data and answer the questions for Parts I and II.   Read 2.9.
• Mon 12/9:  Do Part III of Respiration Lab.  Complete and turn in today or Wednesday.  Overview of Photosynthesis.  Action and absorption spectra.   
• Wed 12/11:  Photosystems II and I.  Overview of the Calvin Cycle.  Read 8.3 if not already.
• Fri 12/13: .  Review all parts of photosynthesis.  Drawing and labeling mitochondria and chloroplasts. Coloring sheet for chloroplasts and mitochondria.  Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis test next Thursday 12/19.
• Tues 12/17:  Review for Cell Respiration Test and Photosynthesis.  Play Kahoot.
• Thurs 12/19:  Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis Test.  Pick up Hand-Out on Cell Division when done and get it started.

Lesson Plan for 11/5/2019

1. No Early Work Today!  We will start a new sheet of paper and add up the old one on Thursday.
2. Short Video on Protein Structure
3. Protein Worksheet.  Use 2.4 in the book to answer the questions on the worksheet.  Turn it in when complete.
4. Finish the Molecular Visualization software assignment in your notebook.  You should be prepared to have the BMI and Health Risk of Fats DBQ's and the Molecular Visualization checked off on Thursday.
5. If you finish all that, read 2.6 on Nucleic Acids!

Molecular Visualization: Do this and answer questions in your notebook

Go to the Molecular Visualization Link on my Website (look under links not documents).  The purpose of this activity is for you to become familiar with the structural and 3-D conformation of organic molecules.  You should also pick up some interesting information by reading the text for each molecule. Pay special attention to the differences between the 4 polysaccharides (glycogen, amylose, amylopectin, and cellulose) because that is a specific syllabus requirement.

1. Click on glucose and observe it (it is under carbohydrates).  Use the cursor to rotate it.  Read the text on glucose.  Write at least 2 new observations down about glucose.
2. Now do the same with the following carbohydrates:  fructose, glycogen, amylose, amylopectin, and glycogen
3. Now go to the lipid category and do the same with glycerol, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, one of the fatty acids (name it), and finally, trigycerides.

The Weeks of 10/28/2019-11/8/2019 and End of the Quarter!

The End of Quarter 1 is this week.  My deadline for late work and extra credit is Tuesday, 10/29!  Grades will be finalized on Thursday 10/31 by me.

• Tues 10/29:  Notes on Carbohydrates and start notes on lipids.  Using model kits, make glucose and then link it with the glucose of another group, showing condensation synthesis.  Also, make a fatty acid with the model kits and possibly glycerol and then link 1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids from different groups, showing the formation of a triglyceride.  Read 2.3 if not already.
• Thurs 10/31:  More notes on lipids.  Saturated vs unsaturated fats and their properties.  How to calculate BMI.  Do DBQ's on p. 81 and pp 85-86 in your notebook.  Use molecular visualization software (link on website) to observe different polysaccharides.   Answer questions in your notebook.  Read 2.4.
• Tues 11/5:   Protein worksheet done in class.  
• Thurs 11/7:  More on proteins.  Make clay models of a monosaccharide, and amino acid, and a fatty acid or glycerol.  Start nucleic acids.  Read 2.6.

Potato Osmosis Lab

You took data with a group, but I would like to write this up individually.  That means that each of you should design your own data table, organize your own graph, etc.   

Your Lab Should Include:

1. A focused question
2. A neat organized data table for your raw data and your processed data results. You should include measurement uncertainty, but don't need to propagate uncertainty for averages (because it wouldn't really make sense in this case).  Include 2-3 observations of the potatoes.
3.  Sample calculation:  Show a sample calculation for percent change.  Make sure that you include a blank equation, the equation with numbers inserted, and the correct rounded answer with units.
4. A graph!  This can be hand done or with a computer.  See the DBQ on p. 42 for help, but of course your graph should have an appropriate title, labels, units, annotation, etc.  You do not need to put on error bars this time because you will not be propagating error for the percent change calculation.
5. Conclusion/Interpretation of results:  Refer back to your question.  Use specific data to back yourself up.  Try to EXPLAIN your results using osmosis concepts.  Finally, were you able to determine the salinity of the potato?  Explain why or why not.
6. Evaluation:  Evaluate your results by discussing at least 3 sources of uncertainty, their impact on the results, and your suggested improvements (this can be done in a table as we did before)

I would like your lab to be turned in through turnitin.com, but if you have calculations and/or a graph that you want to do by hand, just make a note of that in your lab and then turn the hard copies of calculations/graph in my box with your name on it.

Guidelines for Submitting the Final Internal Assessment

Hello Students!

The official due date for the final draft of your Internal Assessment is Friday 3/8.  I am reading first drafts as fast as I can and most of you should have feedback to your lab by this Saturday 3/2.  Here are some instructions, as well as some general advice after reading many of your labs:

1. Please remove all identifying information from your lab before you submit (your name, other students' names, etc).  I will know it is your lab because it will come through your turnitin.com account.  IB has had this rule over the last few years because it doesn't want examiners to have any bias due to the name of the subject.
2. Please check your formatting before submitting.  Oftentimes the formatting gets changed when you submit.  I have been told that one way to avoid this is to turn your lab into a pdf file before you submit it.  Make sure your headings are in the right place, tables don't get squished, etc.
3. Make sure that you proofread your lab carefully and have somebody else read it too!  There are plenty of errors coming through in the first drafts that could be fixed with a careful reading of the lab.
4. This may seem silly, but give your paper an Investigation Topic, listed before the Research Question.  The IB rubric specifically asks for both, and I don't know how picky they will be about that.
5. Make sure that you discuss Safety, Ethical, or Environmental issues if you need to.  If you are using human subjects, animal subjects, or toxic/corrosive chemicals, you NEED to have this statement.
6. Make sure that you list and justify uncertainties for all quantities and include uncertainty bars on your graphs.  
7. Make sure that you discuss how this uncertainty impacts your results.
8. Make sure that you discuss STRENGTHS of your investigation as well as weaknesses.  For all weaknesses, you should have reasonable suggestions for improvement to the PROCEDURE.
9. In addition, you should suggest extensions for your investigation.
10. Also, please read the comments I put in turnitin.com for your lab.

If you have any questions before you submit, feel free to ask!  I probably won't even put the assignment up on turnitin.com until Monday 3/4 because I want to make sure that you see this and have time to adjust before you submit.

Group IV Project Wednesday, February 13th!

Many students are asking me when and where to meet for the Group IV Project tomorrow, so here is the information from the letter:

"We will be meeting at Smith Memorial Student Union Room 296/8 on the 2nd floor or 327/8 on the 3rd floor (1825 SW Broadway, just 10 blocks from Lincoln) at 8:20 am. After sharing results of individual research on sustainability, groups will decide what data to collect in downtown Portland. They must have their plan approved by their teacher leader before they leave the PSU Student Union. They will be restricted to the following borders: Burnside to the north, Willamette River to the east, end of PSU campus to the south, and 14th Street to the west."

Remember to bring a fully charged laptop if you can and be prepared to walk around outside for a couple of hours.  At this time, the weather is actually not looking bad!  (But don't count on it and be prepared).  Additionally, bring your lunch or money to buy it downtown.  You need to stay for the entire school day!

I'm not sure when the groups will be posted, but if we don't get them to you today, you will find out when you arrive at PSU tomorrow.

Get Ready for Semester 2! After Snow Day Update #1. Stay tuned for more changes....

Hello Students!  Here we go, heading into the last semester of high school (for most of you).  We will continue to plow through the material, finish the IA, and try to review much of the material from last year.  In short, we will be busy up until May, when the IB Exams start.  Then we will work on projects and relax until the end of the year.  Here are the first few weeks mapped out.
