Today in AP Biology we wrapped up our regeneration lab using planaria ... a quick glance of the write up by students showed lack of detail and little intellectual curiosity ... we will have to work on that. We also continued to work on our milkweed stomatal density lab. It is more difficult to produce your own samples rather than purchased slides. After several attempts we were able to get some good classroom data. This lab will be handed in on Monday. Also on Monday, we begin our study of cells ... prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic and animal vs. plant cells. Students have a vocabulary outline to look over and a few questions to prepare for class. We will start our 13 required labs after Labor Day.
In Computer programming, students were working to finish the Grand Prix problem. We also did a sample problem using WHILE DO and a version using IF-THEN. We will do one more sample problem before starting these more difficult problems in earnest next week.
My Flex group (my homeroom juniors) worked on Kentucky college options ... we had a "win some honey" contest.
I picked about a bushel of pears tonight, picked some cantaloupes and bush-hogged until dark.
