E/B Day

  • Quiz: Cellular Respiration drawing

  • Unfortunately, I am out today (Monday)! Please complete each of the tasks below.

  • Manage your time so that each of these tasks are completed during the block. Complete any remaining work for homework, due during start of next class! We got this!

  • Please complete these tasks:

    • Finish the AP Questions print out from last week (“Enzymes and Metabolism Quest!”). Block 2— You did not get this. You can access it digitally on AP Classroom. It should take 16 mins maximum, do not spend more time than that. You may work with other people. We can check answers next class!

    • Read about Fermentation using your textbook section 9.5 or the attached digital file and answer these questions. We’ll check answers next class!

    • Review Photosynthesis Daily Video notes. You should supplement with any notes from 9th grade/other resources, if needed.

      • Make a vocab list that is either:

        • The most relevant 10-15 terms (if you are short on in-class time, or you’re doing this outside of class)

        • The most relevant 10-15 terms and their definitions (if you have a good amount of in-class time, you already know some of these, 9th grade notes are easily accessible, etc)

        • NOTE: There is not a perfect list. Look at this as a rough draft! The process of making this list will help you better understand this material, but this doesn’t have to be/shouldn’t be a final, exhaustive list!

  • DUE: 3.4 DV Notes

  • HW: Finish the above tasks from class
