AP BIO HOMEWORK and AP Environmental Science homework for the 3-14 weekend



What a difference a day (or two) makes!
This is a picture of a garlic clove I placed in water last night so I would know whether or not we'd have enough root to use for the lab. There was no visible growth this morning, but tonight there are visible roots. We only need 
2 mm worth of root system so we should be able to proceed with the lab on Monday :) ! Hard to believe that a dried up garlic clove can spring back to life so quickly!

TO ALL:
We've been discussing ordering water bottles in a couple of my classes. I'd also like to order cotton totes (for groceries, etc.).  If we get 100 people that are interested, we can get both for around 5$.
We can create our own design, scan it and have it placed on both items.  If you are interested please check out this site and let me know what you think.  check out the tote bags as well

WATCH THIS KAHN VIDEO:
Take notes as needed, if you're pretty good at this you may not need any notes.
It's 28 minutes so you may need to find a good place to pause and break it up a bit.
