As we discovered on Thursday the pond is filled with phytoplanton that perform a process called photosynthesis. Today we learned more about this processes as well as practiced identifying the independent and dependent variables in an experiment.
Homework due Tuesday:
Read pages 136-139 and answer questions 1,2,3, 4 and 7,8,9 from the 2FS Ecology Homework packet.
Reminder: Your 3-2-1 is due by Sunday at 8PM.
Here's the song we watched in class to give us an overview of Photosynthesis.

Evaluating data and van Helmholt
Today we looked for patterns in our data from the Sampling the Environment lab yesterday. For homework finish the post lab questions. You have been emailed a link with the class data in a google doc.
In discussing our sampling yesterday we discovered that not everyone used the exact same method. This led us to a discussion of controls and variables. After warming up with some Simpson's variable problems, we got down to business used the Van Helmholt worksheet to look controls and variables in relation to photosynthesis. If you did not finish the van Helmholt worksheet in class you need to finish that as well.
Reminder: On Sunday, your 3-2-1 reflections are due.
