Big Bird Test, Transpiration Lab and Modeling ...

Today was Selected Topics in Science today.  As part of our unit on animal science, we had our Big Bird Test today.  We studied 100 common birds and students had to identify 40 today for the test.  We had one perfect score and several near perfect efforts ... How can you appreciate and save the environment if you don't know what's out there?

Tomorrow, we finish our transpiration lab in AP Biology.  We subjected cabbage and broccoli to various conditions and using potometers calculated the water loss in ml/m2.  Tomorrow we will generate group data from two classes before going on to our last lab ... Energy Dynamic: Food Chains.  We will be building an Excel model to demonstate energy flow through a food chain.

Computer programming classes are starting their independent projects soon ... project proposals are due on the 26th.
