Monday/Tuesday, 10/11 December, 2012

This is HL 9. Answers only on your own paper.
Place this with today's notes.


Students will be able to:
-identify the factors (reactants) that are needed for photosynthesis to occur
-explain the role of light, CO2, water, and chlorophyll in the process and products of photosynthesis.

Students answered the questions from the mini lesson on heat transfer (periods 2 and 4) or classification (periods 1, 5, and 6):

Heat transfer: Periods 2 and 4

1. What property of water is most important for living organisms? 
a. It is odorless.
b. It does not conduct electricity.
c. It is tasteless.
d. It is liquid at most temperatures on Earth.


2. Which of these statements is best illustrated by this diagram? 

a. Animals under water eat plants.
b. Land animals exhale oxygen into water.
c. Water-dwelling animals breathe carbon dioxide.
d. Plants can take in carbon dioxide from air and water.

Classification: Periods 1, 5, and 6
1. Three animals are shown in the diagram.

These three animals have adapted to which aspect of their environment?
A. sources of food      C. watery surroundings
B. presence of light    D. temperature variations

2. Why does binomial nomenclature help scientists communicate about an organism?
A .It represents an organism’s common name.
B. It can mean any organism in a kingdom.
C. An organism can have only one scientific name.
D. Scientists refer to a whole kingdom when using a scientific name.

Students received HL 9, which can be found at the top of this blog. Read chapter 13, lesson 1 to find the answers.

Students completed the mini lesson on either heat transfer or classification, taking notes in their interactive notebook. Be sure to glue in the necessary handouts!

Students then watched a BrainPop movie on Photosynthesis. 

Students then did a two truths and a lie collaborative reading strategy. Students were assigned a particular section of the lesson to study. Each team or group had to come up with two factual statements and one false statements based on the reading. Teams recorded their statements on index cards, which WILL be used as a quiz on Thursday!

Students completed Cornell notes on photosynthesis, including gluing in the index card with the statements and the handout of photosynthesis, which you can find at the top of this blog.

Students concluded the lesson by completing an exit slip to check the understanding of how the photosynthesis equation demonstrates elements and compounds.
