Monarch, Tawny Emperor and Tests!

Today we met all eight periods.  We had our first tests in AP Biology and in Selected Topics in Science.  All went well.  Also, today in computer programming we started checking our last Karel programs ... test on Thursday and Friday as we move into Microsoft qBASIC.

Tomorrow we have our first required lab tomorrow.  The respiration lab has two parts.  Tomorrow is the directed portion of the lab using respirometers and germinated peas seeds.  There is an inquiry extension later.

After school,  I checked the two chrysalises in our garden ... still there.  Two monarchs were flying around our butterfly plants and coneflowers ... a male and a female.  The female let me get a few pictures ...
Also, a tawny emperor (I think ...) was in the garden basking on a tomato.
