The Cell in Action TEST Friday!

Wednesday, 11/5:  Ch. 4 Study Guide Due!
Students will work on the study guide in class Tuesday.  The Study Guide will be returned before leaving class Wednesday.

Friday, 11/7:  Ch. 4 Test!
The test includes Mitosis, Diffusion, Osmosis, Photosynthesis, and Cellular Respiration.


Labs:
We have done some fun labs last week and this week!  Ask your students about these!

Lab 1:  Last week, we watched as Iodine diffused through a plastic bag.  (Video of similar lab below)

Lab 2:  In class, we have dissolved the shell off of an egg for our osmosis experiment.
We have now placed one egg in water and one egg in corn syrup to watch the process of osmosis. 
(We will be making observations for several days)
***To do this at home:  place unboiled eggs in vinegar for 1-2 days, and then rinse with water.  Now you have a “RUBBER EGG”


Lab 3:  We will be watching the process of photosynthesis actually occur using Elodea and Bromothymol Blue indicator.
