Variables
Experimental Design Resources
We designed and are carrying out an experiment on how light or lack of it effects pea plant growth.
We will be have a quiz next week on the experimental design vocabulary. Resources for this quiz are below:
For a list of terms: experimental design
For a powerpoint that reviews the terms: experimental-design-terms
Video to Review Independent/Dependent Variables
Review Video: Writing a Hypothesis
Review Video: What is a Control Group?
Natural Selection Lab Report Template
Students will being designing and carrying out their own experiment for the Natural Selection Simulation.
Students will have to turn a lab report based on their experimental simulation by 11/17/17. It must be typed and may be turned in before the due date.
I have included a template to help students create their lab reports. Click Here: Natural Selection Lab Report Template

Honors Biology 9/30/16
Today, we had our Quiz on the Nature of Science and did a notebook check.
Afterward, students practiced identifying variables (independent, dependent and constant.) That practice page goes in the notebook (left side for a stamp) variables_worksheet (only did page one)
For notebook checks, I count up the number of stamps earned over a period of time (since August 31 in this case.)
Each stamp is worth 5 points. Multiply the number of stamps times five to get the score.( 7 stamps earned x 5 points = 35 points)
Stamps required per class:
2B: 9 stamps for 45 points.
3B: 8 stamps for 40 points.
4B: 8 stamps for 40 points.

Students should have at least eight stamps by this point for a total of 40 points this time. Some student have more than eight and received extra credit.
