ESSENTIAL QUESTION: What conditions are necessary for yeast to bud and grow?

RELEVANCE: Is yeast alive? 

NGSSS: SC.912.L.17.5; MAFS.912.N-Q.1.1; LAFS.910.SL.1.1

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  Students will be able to:
-Determine the conditions necessary for yeast to bud and grow.
-Devise a research plan for the year-long project

BELL RINGER - Are yeast alive? If so what do they need to survive?

VOCABULARY: heterotroph, consumer, cellular respiration

HOME LEARNING: Work on Research plan

Students completed the bell ringer by answering the question on a sticky for posting.

We then collected and reviewed HL 4.

Notebooks were returned. The rubrics should be taped into the back of the notebook, four pages prior to page A. I should have included that as a part of the reference information. Perhaps next year!

Those students who were given a chance to redo their notebook for a higher grade, be advised that the resubmission will be on the NEXT class!

We received our project research plan and began to compete it. The completed plan is not due until October 23. As a home learning assignment, look up the information for the background. Once you have that info, we can formulate a hypothesis. Your background MUST include complete references. This means, if you use a book, use the MLA style of writing the reference. If you get the information from the internet, first make sure it is a reputable site. Then, be sure to record the entire URL address AND the date the information was accessed.

We then completed the lab on yeast griwth. We did not finish the CER, but will do so at the beginning of the next class.
