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.

Ex Phys MMedia (Body Systems)
Topics:
A) Skeletal, muscular, neural (group of 3)
B) Respiratory, pulmonary, hormonal, neural (group of 4)
Each group will produce an in depth video news report/documentary that relates their topics to an aspect of exercise. More specifically, each group must choose one (or a few) of the different exercise aspects below:
·Specific to training for a specific sport,·Space flight,·Underwater diving/chamber,·Training at altitude,Obesity (childhood or adult),·A diabetic (or other disease/malfunction) training,·Rehabilitation after complete muscle atrophy,·Increase in environmental temperature,·Asthma,·Ultra-endurance,·Someone taking anabolic steroids &/or Human Growth Hormone (HGH),·Other (must be approved by instructor)
Content (vocabulary and concepts) that must be included is on the attached sheet. News reports must be between 5-15 minutes in length. Each group will put together their report in Adobe Premier. Each video/news report must have the following criteria:
·At least 6 video clips of you reporting throughout the report (two or three per person in the group),·At least one video clip of you interviewing someone else (someone else may pretend to be a “professional”),·At least one self-created labeled diagram/picture that you narrate over and explain,·At least 3 video clips of demonstration/sports/activity that relates to the specific concept(s),·At least 1 musical component,·At least one summary/report/reference to a study that was published between 2005-present,·Incorporation of the “green screen”
The entire class will then put together a full-length DVD that contains each of the group’s reports. Your target audience may that of a sports team, advanced biology class, CNN or NPR science report, physical therapy office, or other.
