Students will be able to:
use the information from virtual actities, the textbook and classroom discussions to
-design controlled experiments to test hypotheses.
-discover what gases are used and produced by animals.
-discover what gases are used and produced by plants (in light and dark).
Students worked independently on a GIZMO entitled Plants and Snails. Students proposed a problem, formed a hypothesis, and listed their variables based on the things they observed in the GIZMO. Students then performed their virtual experiment and summarized the experiment in their conclusions. This activity helped them to understand the interdependence of plants and animals and how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are linked.
There was no home learning except to read section 2 of Chapter 13 (pages 451-456) on cellular respiration. Be sure to complete all the activities and questions contained in those pages.
