September 30th - In Class and Homework

The food labs were handed back. We began learning cell organelle structure and functions today using the wisconsin online site (I'll put the web site on the right margin so you can more easily access it). The homework is to read the next 2 sections (pages 102 - 108) and to complete interactive q's 6.1 - 6.4 from the book study guide (handed out in class today, as well as the structure and function handout).

The instructor handed out a data table with the results from yesterday's (period 7) enzyme lab. We spent the period graphing the data and beginning to answer some lab questions (as well as some basic questions about enzymes). The homework is to finish the questions (and the graph, if necessary).

We did not do the enzyme lab today - we are sharing equipment among the department and will be able to use the data collectors tomorrow. Today in class we are preparing for next Tuesday's test by reviewing chapters 4 & 5 (connecting each objective to the page numbers in the book). Computers were also available to connect with the Campbell web site. Homework is to study for the test.

September 22nd - In Class and Homework

Today was a practice day for the enzyme lab. We used the hand held data collectors, oxygen sensors and potato for the enzyme (hydrogen peroxide is the substrate). At the end of class, an introductory reading for the lab (which we will do Thursday) was handed out to be read for homework. Also, the Test for Chapters 4 & 5 (a summative assessment) will be next Tuesday.
