Fall Colors, Enzyme Catalysis Lab and Betelgeuse ...
Tomorrow in AP Biology we will doing our enzyme lab ... using catalase to breakdown hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. We will graph our results over different time periods and calculate the rate of reaction. This is our fourth of 13 required labs to be conducted over the school year. I will post some pictures later in the week.
A good summary of this lab can be seen on Bozeman Science:

In Computer Programming I we will start our study of graphics and animation (in qBASIC) this week.
Computer Programming II on Tuesday will be working on new python problems using looping statements and decision statements.
Selected Topics continues their study of Astronomy this week with star developement (Betelguese and more) and designing a Space Truck for deep space travel ... a contest lab.
A great weekend to be outside and see the accessory photosynthetic pigments ... aka fall colors. Trees behind our house above and below, fog this morning and our "pick your own free" Burl's Big Turnip Patch in Holland, KY.
