RRRiiiiggghhttt............

Well, my question is this.... Do you think that this assignment improved your knowledge and understanding of Photosynthesis ?  If you think it did, why?  If you don't think that it helped, why not?  What were some of the advantages of the assigment?  What are some of the disadvantages? 

Would doing a lab that demonstrates plants giving off oxygen have been more helpful to you personally ?

Happy Thanksgiving - THIS POST IS FOR EXTRA CREDIT ONLY !


Hello Students,

It's the time of the year that most students refer to as..."2 days off plus the weekend."  Some students feel like it's a day to stuff ourselves and let the TRYPTOPHAN take over.

But,... here's the thing... It's supposed to be a day to reflect on what we have to be thankful for.

Take a few minutes to tell me

WHAT ARE YOUR THANKFUL FOR ?  PERSONALLY AND GLOBALLY ?

Tell me about it.

Does Your Opinion Matter ?


Teachers often ask students for their opinion.  You write essays that demonstrate you opinion, you draw pictures that are an expression on your opinion, and even voice your opinion when you argue with someone.

So,.... what do you think?

IN A CLASSROOM SETTING, DO YOU THINK THAT YOUR OPINION MATTERS ?

Make sure to post a response that is thoughtful and has evidence to support your viewpoint (this is a science class after all.)
