Here is the study guide for the Assessment on Cell Processes.
Be sure to fill this out over the next few days and check in with your teachers on any questions prior to Thursday April 11th.

March 27th - Stomata Lab
Here are images of the Kale leave under 400 magnification. The circled items are the stomatal openings on the leaf. What do you think is happening when they are open?

Photosynthesis: Exploring the Cell
During today's lesson we investigated further into the process of photosynthesis. We even took a look into the plant cell and explored the organelles such as chloroplasts, which play a pivotal role in photosynthesis, by using the iCell app on the iPad.
Tonight, our scientists will be getting creative and finding a way to illustrate their understanding of photosynthesis. Some options include drawing a picture (with color!), writing a story, or perhaps a poem.
At the end of class, Mr. Greg read "Oh Say Can you Seed?" from The Cat in the Hat's Reading Library. Here are some clips from the book for inspiration!
Our students work to compare to Dr. Seuss.

Photosynthesis
Today in science we introduced our new unit on Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which a cell captures energy in sunlight and uses it to make its own food (a type of sugar called glucose).
As a class we focused on a few key terms to know when learning about photosynthesis such as autotrophs, heterotrophs, pigments, chlorophyll, and stomata.
Tomorrow, we will start to dive deeper into the the process of photosynthesis. The reading for tonight will help reinforce our new understanding of how organisms get energy. The reading will also introduce the two stages of photosynthesis.
Here is the link for the reading from our Science Explorer text.
We also took the time to watch this three minute video from Discovery's "Greatest Scientific Discovery" series and learned about the experiments that enabled Priestly and Ingenhousz to "discover" photosynthesis.
