    DL - complete the chapter 6 notes on enzymes (videos on website are helpful)
Friday - Complete the enzyme assignment on canvas

Sept 14 - 18

​Monday -
  • Intro to photosynthesis and cellular respiration (students at home should Zoom in at 8:35)
  • Set up and start the Elodea lab
Tuesday - 
  • Go over chapter 8 (photosynthesis) content (students at home should Zoom in at 8:35)
  • Set up and start the Elodea lab
Wednesday and Thursday
  • Discuss Elodea results
  •  Spinach disk photosynthesis lab (we will go back over this data after break and you will turn this in through your STEM journal later in the week after break)
Friday
  • Complete the canvas assignments for the virtual enzyme lab and virtual cellular respiration lab.

September 28 - October 2

Monday and Tuesday
  • F2F - review enzymes, photosynthesis and go over cellular respiration notes. We will also go over the lab results for the spinach disk lab.  Neither half will zoom, we will cover the same thing on both days.
  • Digital - review on your own by completing the unit 3 progress check on college board, watch videos you have not watched located on pedersenscience for unit 3. Start Unit 4 by working on the Chapter 5 Signal Transduction Pathway Notes.  Watch the videos located on the website first.
    • Videos: Short Signal Transduction video linked to cell division and cancer (Links to an external site.), Signal Transduction Pathway (Links to an external site.)​, Bozeman Video - Signal Transduction Pathways (Links to an external site.)
Chapter 5 Signal Transduction Pathway Notes Link :  Unit 4 signal transduction pathway.docx
​
Wednesday and Thursday
  • F2F - We will discuss the information from the videos listed above(M/T) and the Chapter 5 Signal Transduction Pathway notes, mitosis activity
  • Digital - finish your spinach lab, submission for lab on Canvas is due no later than noon on 10/2. You can also start the HHMI cell cycle online activity which is the assignment for Friday
***If anyone would like to zoom Friday to go over the college board progress check questions let me know.  You must take the progress check so you know what questions you missed so the zoom is a focused review Friday morning.

​Friday -
  • All Digital - Complete the HHMI Cell Cycle Cancer online activity Due by 3pm
  • Make sure your spinach disk lab is submitted by noon.
****Unit 3 test will be Monday and Tuesday next week.
