Read and take your own notes (not for handing in) on ch. 6 – Enzymes.
Bring the case study “Decoding the Flu” with you next class, please.

No classes due to the Post Secondary event.
Re-done lab reports are due today. Test on membrane and membrane transport next class, 4 November 2013.

Finish and type the lab report for the Potato Diffusion Lab. The lab instructions are on the Moodle site. You must include the following headings in a neat, complete and thoughtfully prepared, professional quality lab report:
Title, purpose, hypothesis, intro/background (where you give background information about the concepts we are concerned with in this lab; please include the source(s) and identify the variables), materials, procedure, observations (data table and graph), discussion/questions and conclusion. Be sure to plot a line of best fit on the graph (do not “connect the data points”).
You may use the purpose, materials, and procedure that I provided on the Moodle site, but the lab must be your own work and cannot be copied from any other source or any other person.
Due Thursday before 3:03pm. You must submit it in class or in my letterbox in the office before that time or it will be considered late. Thank you.

Study for Membranes Test – new date is Monday, 4 November.

Test on Membrane and Membrane Transport will be on Tuesday, 29 October. Use the review sheets provided to continue to work on your understanding of this section. Also use the online resources (see previous blog post for link) and textbook.
