AP Environmental science lab

 AP Environmental Science:
Watch this documentary and take good notes, be sure the following things are included: when, where and why it occurred. How many people tried to clean it up, what they had to do, how many people were harmed (both initially and long term). What physical harm it caused people and how politicians initially handled the situation. How did they seal it and are there any issues with the way it was sealed?

Here' the link: If something happens and it doesn't work, google it,  it's called

AP Biology

Your homework is simply to read the diffusion and osmosis lab- Skip procedure 1 (we've already done this one) Read procedures 2 and 3 for tomorrow and be prepared to write them up and complete them in class tomorrow.  We'll do a water potential problem for warm up just to make sure you know how to use the formulas.  ALSO: I will collect your lab notebooks at the end of class to check over your lab write ups from the photosynthesis lab as well as what you complete in class tomorrow.
