Biology (Plant Life Systems)

Each person will be responsible for completing the following and posting the information either in their personal wiki or on a linked page within the class wiki:
1) Draw a picture (either in Paint,Photoshop or on paper and scan) of photosynthesis occuring in a chloroplast. Include oxygen, carbon dioxide,glucose,water,and light. Under your diagram write one paragraph on what would occur to a plants homeostasis if their was a drought.
2)Either a)Draw your own picture of plant transport (xylem & phloem) or b)take a picture of something that represents plant transport and explain it
3)A one paragraph summary of an article written about plant reproduction (include link to actual article). Helpful links include: Discovery,ScienceDaily,Nature,SciAmerica,NationalGeographic
4)Either a)create a podcast (Read first "comment")discussing how auxins and tropisms and stomates/stomata are part of plant regulation or b)create a song/poem/rap discussing how tropisms (and auxins) and stomates/stomata are part of plant regulation

Biology (Lower Organisms)

You will choose one of a list of lower organisms and will be required to research and post the following information:
1) Explain how your organism performs any 4 of the life systems
2) Choose 1 of the life systems and explain how it is similar to the way humans perform the same life system
3)At least one photo of your organisms
4) Additional (interesting) information
After researching the information above, you will be required to post it on its own page either in the class wiki (Period 3, Period 5)or create a link from the class wiki to your own personal wiki.
Once all information is posted, you will visit and read about other organisms and "ask" a question (under the discussion tab) to the researcher. These questions should then be answered by the researcher.
