monday 15th

Draw a food chain for a typical lake. Draw a food chain for the ocean. Draw the Nitrogen cycle and label the words (nitrification, nitrogen gas, ammonification, bacteria, fungi, decomposers,denitrification, lightning, ammonia, nitrates); also have plants and animals and show where the chemicals go and how they change. Use web sources!

Make a poster of the biome you were assigned. place the name of the biome in the title at the top. Make sure to include the following: What is the climate ( ave rainfall and range of temps, and ave temperatures) Typical animals found in the biome (and herbavore and a carnivore)and their adaptations that make them most suitable for this biome. The typical plant (s) found in this biome and their adaptations that allow them to survive. Scenery which looks like the biome.

What was the early Earth like and what gases were in the atmosphere? Where did the first oxygen come from? What organisms were responsible for the first oxygen on Earth? What organisms followed after Oxygen was available? How did eukaryotes form?

Test on cellular respiration and photosynthesis

Test on cellular respiration and photosynthesis, make sure you know what the three parts of cellular respiration are and what happens in each (glycolysis kreb's cycle, ETC); also know the two parts of photosynthesis and what happens in each part (light reaction and Calvin cycle).

Finish writing the lab

Floating disc lab.

cellular respiration next.

A quiz on light reaction and calvin cycle in Ps, nest read up on cellular respiration in shmoop. www.shmoop.com/cell-respiration/

3-D bacterial cell project

Make a 3-D labeled model of a bacterial cell. Have part of it cutaway so you can see the contents and layers. General class does gram positive bacterium,; Honors does the gram negative bacterium. Show and label all the structures. Make it colorful so you can see the different labels and structures. Research at least three sites before you decide what the structure actually looks like, or what are the actual contents and layers. Make it so it hangs from a string. It will be graded based on completeness of parts, accuracy, artistic interpretation, You tube has ideas if you have no ideas for how to make it.. try to be creative. It is due Tuesday for full credit.
