Does Photosynthesis Happen in the Dark?

Hopefully by now you have succesfully collected all of your data (I hope the extra day away didn't have any effects on your results) Now comes the write-up.....

Please complete the lab report that I handed out to you in class on Tuesday. For the conclusion, remember appropriate lab formatting (starting by re-stating your purpose and go from there). Make sure to summarize your findings, discuss experimental error (how confident are you that your results are accurate? and note, you cannot just cite "human error"!!!! That will peeve me.....)  Also include an answer to the question, "Do your results support your hypothesis? Why or why not?"  Please reference outside sources (your textbook or that fancy thing called the inter-web) to support your conclusion.

This lab will be due at the start of class tomorrow.

Questions can be posted below in the comments section.

Sorry I can't be there today.  Hope you all enjoyed your snow day yesterday!

Yeast in Action...Day 2

After a rather anti-climatic lab yesterday, students came back to check out their results today.......



How can you explain these results?!?!?

Cellular Respiration in Yeast

In class today you will be completing a lab exploring the process of cellular respiration in yeast. To do this, we will be investigating what happens when yeast are grown in a tube filled with water and sugar and sealed with a balloon....

WHAT HAPPENED????

After you complete the lab you will asked to answer a series of questions and analyze your data. Use your notes from class, the textbook, and any other online resources (just make sure to cite!) to help you in this process.
