POWER POINT: PHOTOSYNTHESIS, PART 1

This Power Point contains an outline of photosynthesis, relating it to the 'Great Circle' of chemical reactions that all living things participate it (autotrophs and heterotrophs!), reactions which recycle the raw materials that life requires. Much of this material is covered in the first two sections of Chapter 8 in the Dragonfly Book.


The Power Point for Photosynthesis, Part I, is available here.
A PDF file of the Lecture Guide based on that Power Point can be downloaded here.
This assignment is due when students return to school after Thanksgiving Break, on Monday, Dec. 1st.

POWER POINT: THE FLUID MOSAIC MODEL


You can get the Power Point for 'The Fluid Mosaic Model of the Cell Membrane" here. There are drawings in Chapter 7 of your text, particularly the one on pg. 182, that would be good for students to have completed in their notes. Mr. Hatfield, as always, recommends that students use colored pencils to complete their drawings in their Cornell Notes.


Also, the STUDY GUIDE for next Wednesday's test is available here as a PDF file for students who would like to start their test preparation early!
