Goldenrod and Enzymes ...

Today after school in the evening I took some pictures of flowers on our farm.  I chased a buckeye butterfly around for several minutes trying to get a good shot before it became annoyed and flew over some blackberry briars and out of sight.  Below is a coneflower beginning to bloom and a picture of the goldenrod and common milkweed pods in the long field beside Highway 100.  The honeybees were still working the goldenrod late in the evening.

Also, the two monarch caterpillars on our butterfly weed plants in the garden have quadrupled since Monday. I put them on separate plants so they would have more leaves to eat.

At school today, it was AP Bio day.  We worked through Chapter 8 ... Enzymes and biochemical pathways.  Afterwards, we had time for some sample questions for a quiz score.

Most of the computer programming students are working on the skyscraper problems which requires nested if-then statements and is proving to be difficult.

Tomorrow is Selected Topics day and we will finish our microscope / mitosis lab.  The Great Plant Growing contest continues.
