Venus fly traps are carnivorous. They can be triggered to close on and "eat" prey. However, these plants also perform photosynthesis.
When writing your conclusion be sure that is two paragraphs and reference old conclusions for formating. Be sure to explain the lab and your hypothesis. Later, you need to prove or disprove your hypothesis. you must support this with data as well as facts about plant growth. Remember to have topic and concluding sentences and to check your spelling an grammar.
We will be typing the conclusion during you exam time in the computer lab. You may bring handwritten notes. You must bring your data table and your textbook.
Prepare for your exam conclusion by gathering materials (labs, conclusion, plant/photosynthesis notes) and by taking notes or making and outline or a draft.
Good luck studying!
Remember that your graph will be a double line graph. Look at your sample made in class. You need to have title, axes labels, and a consistent scale. If you make a break it must be drawn correctly. You need to have TWO different lines and a key.
Review old graphs, class notes, graphing handouts and old labs.
You may not bring any notes, but you MUST have your data table. You will be given a ruler and graph paper. bring a pencil.
The blog is back!
Today in class:
1. Students took the Seed/Flowering Plants Test.
2. We checked the marigold lab.
A-Day worked on the Animal Brains Graph.
B-Day discussed the exam graph--see exam graph post to follow:
HW assigned:
-Exam graph in class on 5/19 (B day) or 5/20 ( A day)
- Review and gather exam materials (graphing and conclusion hand outs and notes, old lab, etc.)
The graphing and conclusion writing parts of your exam are coming up! If you think that you don't have to prepare for this exam....then you are mistaken! It is important that you review old labs, graphs, and material about plants in order to do your best. Here is that handout that I will discuss in class telling you what to do to prepare. Also, pay special attention to what kind of notes, if any, are acceptable.
Graph- (Double line graph)
- · Review graphing guidelines, all old graphing assignments, and all labs.
- · NO NOTES, only data table.
Conclusion- (2 paragraph conclusion)
· See rubric
· Review old labs, conclusion guidelines, blog.
· Review information (book, power points, notes) on plants, plant growth, and photosynthesis. You may also research plant growth etc. on the internet.
· You may bring notes/outlines etc. and your data table. However, all notes must be HAND-WRITTEN BY YOU. No typed notes, no ipads or laptops.
· You may only access kidblog on the internet during your lab. You may use a blank Microsoft word document to spell check. You may NOT use any other internet site or any other program or document.
Bringing notes that are not acceptable to accessing an internet site/program that is not acceptable will result in a zero on that portion of the exam.
Today in Class
- We took the Structures of flowering Plants quiz. If you were absent you need to see me as soon as you return to school. You will need to make-up this quiz by 5/13 (Friday).
- We discussed photosynthesis and the chemical equation of photosynthesis. See "Photosynthesis" powerpoint. Screencast to review photosynthesis coming soon.
- We checked the marigold lab and recorded data. During this time photosynthesis vocab t-notes and study guide questions were completed.
- We began to discuss to "Reproduction of Angiosperms" powerpoint.
For HW:
Due next class 5/12 or 5/13
- Read pages 114-117
-Reproduction of Flowering Plants vocab t-notes (see study guide)
Due 5/16 or 5/17
-Reproduction of Flowering Plants study questions (see study guide)
SEED/FLOWERING PLANTS TEST on 5/16 or 5/17
Final Exam Date and Due Dates
5/4 and 5/5 Final Data Tables Due, Experimental Design Products Due
5/18 and 5/19 Make graphs in class individually (prepare at home before, no notes during class)
Exam day (5/23-5/25) Write conclusion in computer lab during exam time slot. You may prepare ahead of time and bring notes.
Today in Class:
We discussed the upcoming Structures of Flowering Plants Quiz. Here is the list of materials to study:
We worked on day 3 of the Marigold lab. Plants were watered and height measurements were taken.
- Study Guide, 1st section (vocab, and study questions)
- Book pages 92-98
- Powerpoint: Structures of Flowering plants
- Flower Mini-lab (done in class today)
- Pictures (book, powerpoint).
- Watch video on this blog
We continued discuss the structures of flowering plants, specifically flowers. See the screencast below to review the parts of flowers.
We also looked at a lily and dissected it during our flowering plants mini-lab. We were able to see the sepals, petals, stamens (anthers and filaments), pistil (stigmas, style, ovary) and the stem. This mini-lab will help you review for your quiz.
HW for next class:
Quiz on Structures of Flowering Plants (see above) 5/10 for A day, 5/11 for B day
All study guide questions for structures of flowering plants due (HW grade)
Flowers Screencast:
Today in Class:
1. QR asked "What is one function of a stem?"
2. We completed day one of the marigold lab (planted, took measurements, watered plants).
3. We reviewed the "Structures of Flowering Plants" powerpoint.
HW for next class:
- Read pages 92-98
-Vocab T-notes for all of structures of flowering plants vocab (see study guide for words)
-Structures of Flowering Plants Quiz on 5/10 or 5/11
SCREEN CAST- Covers roots, stems, and leaves (also vascular tissue)
In class today:
- QR asked "What is an angiosperm?". This should be a review for you!!
- I checked data table drafts and final data tables were made with lab groups. The final data table draft is due by next class.
- The new "Seed Plants Study Guide" was given out. This is the last study guide for the year. There will be a Flowering Plant Structures Quiz on 5/10 (A day) or 5/11 (B day). The test on the whole study guide (all 3 major topics) will be 5/16 (A day) or 5/17 (B day).
- We discussed the functions of the main structures of plants (roots, stems, leaves, and flowers) and began to look at the "Structures of Flowering Plants" powerpoint.
- In lab groups we visited the link http://www.mbgnet.net/bioplants/parts.html and played the plants parts game.
- We reviewed some of the Plants and Cell Division Test. It is important that you understand ALL MATERIAL on that test and we move into the new unit. It is your job to set up a time with me to review confusing concepts and tor review at home.
REVIEW!!! You must constantly be reviewing new and old material and checking the blog. Your homework is not lengthy so that you can review each day. Please see me immediately to review anything that is confusing to you.
HW:
- Experimental Design Product due next class (make sure it is posted on your kidblog)
-Final Data Table for exam due next class
Next class we will start day 1 of our exam lab with marigolds.
