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?

AP biology weekend homework-Due Monday:
Be sure to have all of your labs written up completely in your lab notebook.
This includes: your self designed photosynthesis (leaf chad) lab, The osmosis lab with the dialysis tubing and the plant cell in salt water ( when we used the microscopes) lab.
Have data/ graphs/ images and awesome conclusions written up- no scribbles or white out!

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.
APES homework for tonight
NO podcast or Ted Tonight :)
TEST WILL BE ON TUESDAY- you can have a one standard page mind map to use during the test.
the mind map itself will be worth 20 points and must follow the mindmap guidelines or you WON'T be able to use it during the exam.
Mind map link:

Tomorrow: be ready to assemble your eco-columns! Make sure your team has 4 two liter bottles and the necessary compost. We won't need critters ( aquatic and terrestrial) until Monday.
Friday (tomorrow) we will assemble the columns, take initial readings and Start the lab write up in your notebooks!
