Thursday 3/26

1. Cell Structure, Mitosis and Body Systems Test  (2026)

• previous version: Cell Structure, Mitosis and Body Systems 

After Test: 

• Color Diagram  Using Power Point  

• Then Watch and Take Notes on the following short videos:

  • • 1) Photosynthesis for Kids Video (4 min)  

    • 2) Introduction to Photosynthesis Video (3 min) 

    • 3) Leaf Pigments and Light Video  (3 min) 

    • 4)  ATP and Photosynthesis (Google Drive download) 6 min

-----------------------------------------------

Friday 3/27 (Half Day)

1. FUN FRIDAY!

2. Cell Membrane Bubble Lab (Bubble Activity Demonstrated- YouTube) (Cell Membrane Bubble Lab Video)

--------------------------------

Monday 4/6

Podcast #9 Autumn Leaves 

1. Review your Chloroplast Diagram that you colored in class yesterday 

• • we colored this Diagram using this Power Point presentation in the previous class

  • Steps of Photosynthesis 

2. Chapter 8: Photosynthesis Lecture (24 min)

3. Review Products/Reactants of Photosynthesis and What happens when you Manipulate them (worksheet)

4. Discuss/Prep for Tomorrow's Lab: Watch this Explanation video of Floating Disk Lab 

-predict what would happen given the variables they list at the end: Light Intensity, Light Color, Temperature, pH, Concentration of Sodium Bicarbonate Ions, Type of Leaf

HWK: PODCAST & Watch the Video of the Lab: Explanation video of Floating Disk Lab  and Read Tomorrow's Floating Disk Lab

--------------------------------

Tuesday 4/7

Talk About Podcast

1) Floating Disk Lab

• Choose a variable Lab

Homework: Finish Lab (if you had unexpected results you MUST discuss possible errors that might have led to them)

------------------------------------

Wednesday 4/8

Link

1) Discuss Floating Disk Lab (Collect packet)

2) Photosynthesis Worksheet Packet (use spectometers) 

• stomata under the microscope

• diagram of a chloroplast

• Chromatography clip (use this video at 2:34 for pigments) and 

Homework: Study 

 ---------------------------------------------------------

Thursday 4/9

1- Teacher Resource 

2- Finish Photosynthesis Worksheet from yesterday

• Paper Chromatography of Pigments in a Spinach Leaf 

3- Review Factors Affecting Photosynthesis and Reactants vs. Products

• Simulation Website   
• (Skipping: worksheet: Photosynthesis Simulation Lab) 
• Aquatic Plant Simulation Lab -Website doesn't work on your computers :( 

• youTube clip of someone using the program
• Class Discussion 

4- Watch-  Rates of Photosynthesis Sample Experiment Video (6 min) I love that she calls the test tube a boiling tube and complete The Lab Questions digitally 

• discuss variables and hypothesize what would happen

• -predict what would happen given the variables they list at the end: Light Intensity, Light Color, Temperature, pH, Concentration of Sodium Bicarbonate Ions, Type of Leaf

5- Complete (digitally): Quick Introduction to Trophic Levels Digital Worksheet

• Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Equation - Cyclic Relationship (Watch this Video) 2 min

  • Trophs- "Eating" Roles

-Autotrophs- Make their own food 

-Heterotrophs- Consume others for food

• How would you classify (chemosynthetic bacteria, decomposers such as bacteria and fungus, flowers, chipmunks)

Homework: Finish all work from today

--------------------------------------

Friday 4/10 **MUSETTI NEEDS TO MAKE TEST FOR THIS UNIT

Start Cellular Respiration

1. Use the Presentation to Color the Respiration Diagram and write the steps of Respiration on a separate piece of paper (steps are on the final slide)

with Power Point (Steps of Cellular Respiration)

2. Anaerobic Respiration (Names, Reasons, Pros & Cons, etc)

• I Love Lucy Conveyor Belt Scene 

• Anaerobic Respiration Explanation Video  (8 min) - take notes

• Anaerobic Respiration (how is this different from Aerobic?) 

• Products of Anaerobic: Yogurt, Cheese, Alcohol, Bread, and more

• Interesting Video: Man who does not produce Lactic Acid (5 min) 

  • Michael Phelps produces half lactic acid 

Homework: STUDY (Test Friday)
