Homework: To be determined

 

Finish Seed Variation Lab Data Collection. Learning Objective: Write a detailed laboratory report that includes: the question that motivated the study, a justification for the kind of investigation chosen, hypotheses (if any), a description of what was done, a summary of data in tables and graphs, and a conclusion, based on the evidence, that responds to the question.

Complete data collection and lab write up.  Prepare Formal Lab Write up  - Due February 20

 

Honors - Write up ideas that you are interested in investigating for your independent original research.  Submit via email (pthsscienceandmath@gmail.com) or in honors notebook.

Week of Feb. 4 - 8

Week of February 4 -8

Monday: Learning Objective- Science often advances with the introduction of new technologies. Understanding technologies provides evidence for authentic debate

Classwork - Record data as appropriate for Seed Variation Lab.  Finish Video "Clone"

Homework - None

Tuesday: Learning Objective - Science often advances with the introduction of new technologies. Understanding technologies provides evidence for authentic debate. DNA is a polymer made of repeating nucleotides. Instructions for traits are carried in DNA, a large polymer formed from nucleotide subunits that determines the amino acid sequence to form proteins.
