"Does it eat spiders?"

We turned in the leaf lab.

The Plant of the Day is... the Spider Plant. It can self-propagate, meaning it can take a part of itself and grow a new plant out of that part. It is native to South Africa, however it is a common house plant. It is also a flowering plant.



We mostly discussed ATP, Energy, and Visible Spectrum.



Things about visible spectrum:

• Light travels in waves


• Each color has a diferent wavelength


• There are some colors we cannot perceive (i.e. ultra violet, infared, etc.)


• All the colors put together will make white


• Color can be absorbed and/or reflected

Note: Energy is what makes you do stuff, and ATP has Adenine, Ribose, and 3 Phosphate Groups

Homework:

Hello.
This is Sam.

This Friday we finished up the lab for the majority of the period. Your groups are the same people that you worked with on the rip-o-meter lab. During the lab Mrs. Stein took students and tested them on how well they did when working with a microscope. Once the period is over we cleaned up after ourselves and left.
For if you didn't finish observations or was absent, here are the things we looked at:
Frog blood
Cheek Cells

Homework:
