3. Photosynthesis Lab revision due TBA

4. Questbase Electronic Photosynthesis PA - Take as many times as you'd like but only during class or AT!

5. Photosynthesis Learning Sequence

6. Double check to make sure everything is handed in before you leave class on Friday!

Do Now:

Draft a null hypothesis and an alternative (your actual) hypothesis for the lab that we just collected data for. How are they different?

1. Photosynthesis Lab - Rough Draft Due: Tuesday 

   1. For Now....What's your null hypothesis? Your alternative hypothesis? You should probably write them....

   2. Turning a rough draft in on the due date gives you the ability to revise your synopsis. 

   3. Photosynthesis Data Dump

2. Lab notebook - You'll need this for our experiment this week, yes, you'll actually need this.....

   2. 1. Care and Feeding of Your AP Biology Lab Notebook

3. Photosynthesis Lab Report Writing

   1. How I'll Grade'em

      1. Summary section can be tricky, you can write it before you comlete the lab...maybe you should try it out today.....

   2. You could outline your lab synopsis so that you basically just need to fill in the blanks....

4. Questbase Electronic Photosynthesis PA - We'll cover this on Monday!

5. Photosynthesis Learning Sequence

   • Lets go over the first one!

HW: 

1. Think about photosynthesis, what variables could you realistically test outside on Tuesday or Wednesday.

   • Should we all do the same experiment and compile data?  Advantages?

Do Now:

1. Photosynthesis Lab Predictions: (Are we ready for this?)

   1. What is your null hypothesis?

   2. What is your alternative hypothesis?

   3. What evidence do you have to support either?

Agenda:

2. Lab notebook - You'll need this for our experiment this week, yes, you'll actually need this.....

   • • Must be a bound book. 

     • Name and contact information on the front cover

     • Use black or blue INK

     • Date all entries

     • Reserve 3 pages for a table of contents (at the beginning if this is the only class this is for, make a new table of contents after other class' material, but put an entry in that class' table of contents indicating the presence of the new class)

     • All non-table of contents pages should be numbered

     • Cross out mistakes with a single line through the entry, then initial.

     • Draw a diagonal line through unused portions of a page

     • Do not skip pages

     • The start of each experiment should begin on a new page, but ALL information should be entered chronologically

     • All data should be entered directly into the notebook (we'll tape in electronically collected data)

     • Entries should be neat orderly, and complete.

     • Your Lab Notebook Must Include Record of Every Activity That You Manipulate Variables or Record Data For....NOT JUST "LABS"!!

3. Photosynthesis Learning Sequence

   • Photosynthesis experiment Tuesday/Wednesday (Probably, totally weather dependent.)

     • • Lets figure out what we're going to do as a group....

     • Otherwise you are working through the learning sequence.

     • Remember, I'm here to support your learning in anyway that you need

   • Do you have a testable question and a hypothesis?

     • If you don't then you cant have an experiment....

   • Photosynthesis Experiment Perameters.

   • LAB NOTEBOOK (or other paper to transfer)

     • Things to include:

       • Summary of procedure.

       • Make note of the treatment for each trial.

       • SKETCH (rough trend is the goal) a graph for each trial.

6. Photosynthesis Data Dump

HW:

• Study for your photosynthesis test - No, it isn't for a while but studying now will really help.

• Photosynthesis lab briefing - I created parameters based on the discussion totally changeable.
