This Week: Tutorial Thursday, Assembly Friday

Congratulations go out to all of Franklin's High School Innovation Challenge participants!

This year's theme was "[Re]Fresh Our H2O." Eight high schools teams were invited to design technological solutions to address any problem facing humanity related to freshwater.  

Our team's theme was "Gamifying Water Conservation”. They came up with a revolutionary idea: make saving water fun through the creation of a water conservation app game that tracks our daily, weekly, and monthly consumption, along with other stats, such as fixture usage…They walked away as winners in the "Most Creative Solution" category.

Please congratulate our team for their hard work, they all put in many hours and efforts on this project:

Leaf Disk Assay : Photosynthesis Lab Day II

Learning Objective: I can measure the rate of photosynthesis in a leaf by observing the buildup of oxygen which makes leaves float. I will adjust variables to see its effect on photosynthesis. 

Today you will be doing the actual data collection for the lab.

1. Review procedure and set up materials.

2. Walk outside to gather leaves.

3. Time rate of photosynthesis under different variables and record data

4. Analyze data and work on lab writeup 

You will have the whole class period on Wednesday to work on the graph and conclusion questions. It will be due by the end of the class period on Wednesday for 30 points.
