Scope: students are measuring their potato cores from the previous class period and calculating data.
Goal: students will take data and analyze it in order to be ready for an IA soon.
1. Students start by writing out their procedures, making sketch, referring to safety contract
2. Set up data table in order to show the % change in mass
3. Calculate % change in mass
4. Graph % change in mass
5. Make conculsions
August 29, 2014/Friday
Scope: students are analyzing their data in order to relate it to osmosis and solutes.
Goal: students will understand the relationship between molarity and osmosis.

IB Biology guide (extended syllabus) for the first exam 2016 (juniors only, since this is the first year organized this way). This is the guide that tells you the particulars about how IB Biology will be assessed, etc. It is best if you look through it however, we will work on this in class as well.
