I started class with a survey of how many students will be gone each day for AP tests. This information will be used to plan what we do each day in class during those weeks.
Next we discussed our Final Exam! The class was surveyed to find out if they would prefer to take the Final during a single 90-minute period NEXT BLOCK DAY, or split the test into two 40-minute parts and take it on Monday and Tuesday (5/2 and 5/3). I will let you know the outcome of the vote by Friday.
In 2nd period we concluded the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Students were asked to write their own summaries of twospecific parts: 1. How does non-cyclic photophosphorylation work? Include a discussion of the role of light, antenna molecules, electrons, electron transport chain, water, ATP and NADPH. 2. Explain how ATP is created. Use the terms electron transport chain, hydrogen gradient, ATP synthase, ADP and ATP.
6th period did the above, but also completed the Calvin cycle. They were asked to explain how glucose is made, using the terms: carbon dioxide, RuBP, rubisco, ATP, NADPH, and glucose.
There was no homework and I ran out of time for discussing last night's homework.
