Take notes on “Energy Flow” (YouTube & PPT slides are available). Here is the PDF if you prefer notes on notability. If you’re going to do paper notes, you’ll need a blank sheet of computer paper folded twice to make three sections.
Then complete the review activity & turn in any outstanding activities from last week.
Before we take our Energy Quiz, lets see if you have what it takes to be called a Photosynthesis or Cellular Respiration Master! Click the links below, download the attached powerpoint, open in keynote and play the presentation. As you go through, click the appropriate boxes and answers to questions. If you can successfully get through the whole thing with no wrong answers, you are ready! Take as much time and as many tries as you need! Good luck!
Photosynthesis may seem like an easy topic, based on what you learned in middle school. But, as we go a little deeper into the processes of how Plants chemically create glucose from a gas, a liquid, and sunlight we find that it is a whole lot more interesting and complicated. Below is a graphic organizer to show the parts of the chloroplast, the reactants, the products, and the important molecules involved in both the Light & Dark Reactions.
Once you think you’ve Mastered all there is to know about Photosynthesis, try your hand at this game: Photosynthesis Master. Open the document in Powerpoint or Keynote, start the presentation, then click on the boxes with the correct answers to the questions. See if you can make it all the way through without a wrong answer… if you can you will be the Photosynthesis Master!
I know, I know I promised you a team building day. I promise (again) we will have it, just on monday so I can be there for it. Today, we’re going to learn all about photosynthesis!
If you remember, I told you a little about earlier this week. Stuff like: it takes place in the chloroplast, there are 2 reactions, the reactants, the products, etc.. We’ll today we’re going to go into a little more detail. I’m going to have you watch the video below and take some notes (make sure you use my notes handout because it has the pictures on it to make it easier to understand). Then on Monday, after the team building exercise, we’re going to make review posters for photosynthesis. I’ll show you what I mean then.
One last thing, next Friday we’re going to take the last of our common assessments. I’ll give you more info next week, but I wanted to make you aware and offer up the study guide (which is also available on the Bio: Semester 2 page). Have a great day and remember, after these notes… there’s only one more day of notes left the entire year!
Biology, here’s what we’ve got going today. We’re going to flip the classroom… sort of. In a true flipped classroom, I’d send you home with the assignment of taking notes so we could discuss the topics brought up in class the next day. BUT, we’re going to tweak that idea just a little bit. Here’s what I’d like you to do…
