Lab 5: Elodea & Snails

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration? Hopefully we'll see it in action during last/this week's lab.

Experimental design: Elodea, snails, water and BTB will be placed in test tubes (some will be exposed to light and some will not be exposed to light).
In the end, we hope to see a change in the color of the BTB (an indicator) which is reflective of pH. How will these results differ in the light and dark groups?


Today A & D blocks collected their data, cleaned up and learned the basics of writing scientific papers.

Today C block set up their experiment and learned the basics of writing scientific papers.

Homework for A and D blocks: Read the Guide to Writing Scientific Papers then use your new found knowledge to answer help you read and answer the questions for the sample paper "The Effects of Light on Soybean Plants." This is due on Tuesday.

C block has no homework due on Tuesday.

You have also been emailed the template for the mini-lab paper that is due in class on Tuesday October 28th.
