During science class on Tuesday we did many things. But first of all remember there is homework that is due on Thursday December 2, 2010 in science class. The homework that is due is the Team Plant Lab. If you lost the sheet go to Moodle under 8 Science 10-11
Make sure that you have the following things in your NOTEBOOK for the Team Plant Lab:
Graph - Make sure its on grid or graph paper (not line paper)
IVs
DVs
UVs & CVs - As many of these as possible
Hypothesis
Paragraph - can be typed or handwritten but must be in your notebook. In here make sure you mention if your hypothesis was supported or negated. Mention at least three errors and why they happened.
State whether everyone put in the same amount of work and effort into the lab (This is separate from the paragraph)
There is also homework due on Friday December 3, 2010. Make sure to do the blog comment by Friday at 4 PM. If you commented twice on this blog you should make sure to also comment on the 7th Grade Blog.
In class we took notes on photosynthesis and started a lab.
Make sure you know these things about photosynthesis:
Photosynthesis is the process of cells taking NRG from the sun to produce food. This takes place in the chloroplasts. CO2 is needed for photosynthesis to happen.
1st stage - Plant captures NRG from sunlight
2nd stage - uses NRG to make food for plant
Some definitions that we learned in class:
Carnivore - eats meat only
Herbivore - eats plants only
Omnivore - eats plants & animals
Scavenger - eats dead stuff
Decomposer - break dead stuff down
Stomata - Opening (pore) on the underside of a plant leaf.
For the leaf stomata lab we started in class we were in groups of two:
Fabi and Davide
Iva and Reza
Terez and Ciprian (Cip)
Viktor and Antonia
Vance and Sophie
Bryce and Giovanna (Gio)
Noam and Valentin (Val)
Calvin and Daniel (Dan)
The main thing you should remember about class on Tuesday is Photosynthesis. Make sure to know about it. If you want to learn more about photosynthesis watch this video.
That was what we covered in Science on November 30, 2010 and the next scribe is...
